What You Get With Our Cloud Solutions Services

🏗️

How do you migrate our on-premise systems to the cloud without downtime?

We use a phased migration strategy — typically moving non-critical workloads first, then stateful services, then mission-critical systems — with a tested rollback plan at every phase. Database migrations use read replicas and cutover windows measured in minutes, not hours.

💰

How do you make sure our cloud costs don't blow out?

We implement cloud cost governance from day one: right-sizing compute instances, Reserved Instance planning, Spot/Preemptible instance strategies for suitable workloads, auto-scaling to eliminate idle resources, and weekly cost reports with trend analysis and anomaly alerts.

🔒

How is cloud infrastructure secured against breaches and data loss?

Security controls include VPC isolation, IAM least-privilege policies, encryption at rest and in transit, CloudTrail/Audit Logs for all API activity, WAF rules, DDoS protection, and automated vulnerability scanning. We implement Essential Eight controls for Australian government and enterprise clients.

🏛️

Can our data be kept within Australia for compliance reasons?

Yes — all three major cloud providers have Australian regions (AWS Sydney, GCP Sydney/Melbourne, Azure East Australia). We configure data residency controls, replication boundaries, and backup retention within Australian regions to meet Privacy Act, APRA, and government data sovereignty requirements.

📈

How does the infrastructure scale automatically during traffic spikes?

Auto-scaling groups adjust compute capacity within 60–90 seconds of a load change. Container workloads on Kubernetes use Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. Databases scale read capacity via Aurora auto-scaling or Cloud Spanner. Your application handles 10× traffic spikes without manual intervention.

🔄

How is infrastructure managed as code rather than clicked together in a console?

All infrastructure is defined in Terraform, version-controlled in Git, and applied through a GitOps CI/CD pipeline. This means every infrastructure change is reviewed, audited, and reversible — eliminating configuration drift and reducing change risk dramatically.

📊

How do we monitor the health of our cloud infrastructure 24/7?

We implement full observability with metrics (CloudWatch/Datadog), structured logs (ELK stack or Cloud Logging), distributed traces (OpenTelemetry), and a custom alerting runbook. On-call engineers respond to P1 alerts within 15 minutes around the clock.

🔁

How quickly can we recover if a cloud region or availability zone fails?

We design for multi-AZ resilience as a minimum, and multi-region active-active or active-passive failover for mission-critical workloads. Automated runbooks test failover quarterly. Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) of 15 minutes and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) of 1 hour are standard; lower targets are achievable for additional investment.

Cloud Solutions FAQs

Common questions about our cloud solutions services.

Ask Us Anything →
How much does cloud migration cost in Australia?
Cloud migration costs depend on the number and complexity of workloads being migrated. A small web application migration starts from AUD $10,000. A complex enterprise migration covering 20+ services, databases, and compliance requirements typically ranges from AUD $50,000 to $200,000. We provide a fixed-price migration quote after a free cloud assessment — usually within one week.
Which cloud provider is best for my Australian business — AWS, GCP, or Azure?
All three have Australian data centres. AWS has the largest service catalogue and the most mature partner ecosystem in Australia — it's our most common choice for greenfield projects. Azure is often preferred by businesses already using Microsoft 365 and Windows Server. Google Cloud excels for data analytics, machine learning workloads, and BigQuery. We recommend based on your workload type, existing toolchain, and team skills.
How do you keep our data within Australia for compliance purposes?
We configure all cloud services to use Australian regions (AWS ap-southeast-2, GCP australia-southeast1, Azure australiaeast) and explicitly restrict replication and backup storage to Australian regions. Data residency controls, S3 bucket policies, and IAM restrictions prevent accidental data egress — we document these controls in compliance evidence packages for audit purposes.
How much will our cloud costs be after migration?
We model projected cloud costs before migration using the cloud provider's pricing calculator and actual workload metrics from your current environment. Historically, properly managed cloud migration reduces infrastructure costs by 25–40% compared to on-premise colocation or unoptimised cloud spend — primarily through right-sizing, auto-scaling, and eliminating idle capacity.
What is Terraform and why does Infrastructure as Code matter?
Terraform is a tool that lets you define cloud infrastructure in configuration files that are version-controlled in Git. Every infrastructure change goes through a code review, is applied automatically by a CI/CD pipeline, and can be rolled back instantly. This eliminates configuration drift (where the real environment no longer matches what anyone thinks it is), reduces change risk, and provides a complete audit trail of every infrastructure change.
How do you secure cloud infrastructure against attacks?
Cloud security controls include VPC network isolation, IAM least-privilege policies, encryption of data at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), WAF rules blocking OWASP Top 10 attacks, DDoS protection (AWS Shield/Cloudflare), CloudTrail audit logging, automated vulnerability scanning, and regular penetration testing. For government and regulated sectors, we implement Australian Government ISM and Essential Eight controls.
What happens if our cloud infrastructure goes down?
For managed infrastructure clients, our on-call engineers receive automated P1 alerts and begin incident response within 15 minutes, 24/7. We follow a documented runbook for each workload, maintain warm standby environments for critical databases, and design for multi-AZ resilience — meaning most component failures are handled automatically by the infrastructure before any human intervention is required.
Can you help us reduce our existing cloud costs?
Yes — our FinOps assessment identifies waste in your current cloud spend: oversized instances, unused Elastic IPs, forgotten test environments, unattached storage volumes, and inefficient data transfer patterns. Most assessments identify 20–40% cost reduction opportunities. We then implement Reserved Instance and Savings Plan commitments for sustained workloads and right-size compute based on actual utilisation data.
Do you provide Kubernetes management for container workloads?
Yes — we design and manage Kubernetes clusters on AWS EKS, Google GKE, and Azure AKS. This includes cluster bootstrapping with Helm, network policy configuration, pod security standards, Horizontal Pod Autoscaler setup, GitOps deployment pipelines via ArgoCD, and ongoing node version management and security patching.
What ongoing cloud management services do you provide?
Managed cloud services from AUD $1,500/month include 24/7 infrastructure monitoring with alerting, operating system and runtime security patching, automated daily backups with tested restores, monthly cost optimisation reviews, capacity planning, and incident response with a documented SLA. We provide a monthly report covering uptime, security events, cost trends, and planned changes.
