Services
Services
Architect-led expertise that covers strategy, implementation and improvement across AWS and Kubernetes platforms.
AWS and Kubernetes platform engineering
We lead and implement platform foundations including landing zones, account structure, EKS, Terraform and delivery pipelines.
Typical outputs
- Platform architecture and implementation plans
- Working Terraform modules and CI/CD pipelines
- Observability baseline and operational runbooks
When it helps
- Greenfield platform builds
- Teams standardising fragmented existing estates
AWS Well-Architected reviews
Hands-on technical reviews that identify priority issues and translate them into a practical remediation plan.
How we approach AWS Well-Architected Reviews (PDF)
Typical outputs
- Prioritised findings by workload and delivery impact
- Remediation backlog with implementation guidance
- Clear ownership actions for engineering teams
When it helps
- Teams preparing for growth or major delivery phases
- Existing platforms carrying unresolved technical debt
Migrations and modernisation
We design and execute migration and modernisation plans that balance greenfield foundations with legacy constraints.
Typical outputs
- Migration plans, sequencing and cutover approach
- Modernised target platform patterns
- Documented handover for operations and engineering
When it helps
- Organisations moving from legacy estates to AWS
- Teams modernising services while keeping delivery commitments
Strategy and operating models
Practical strategy focused on standards, guardrails and platform ownership models that teams can apply immediately.
Typical outputs
- Platform standards and architectural guardrails
- Decision frameworks for shared platform ownership
- Prioritised roadmaps aligned to delivery goals
When it helps
- Greenfield programmes needing clear direction
- Existing estates where teams need consistent operating rules
FinOps and cost optimisation
Cost optimisations grounded in delivery reality through tagging standards, forecasting and governance controls.
Typical outputs
- Tagging and cost allocation models
- Forecasting baseline and reporting cadence
- Cost control guardrails integrated into delivery workflows
When it helps
- Teams building cost control into new platforms
- Existing estates with limited spend visibility
Security and compliance
Security and compliance foundations built into platform design, IAM patterns, network boundaries and audit-friendly documentation.
Typical outputs
- IAM and access control patterns
- Network segmentation and security baselines
- Compliance-ready design records and runbooks
When it helps
- Regulated greenfield platform delivery
- Existing estates requiring stronger controls and traceability
Trusted engineers through CloudLens
When additional capability is needed, we can extend delivery with a small number of engineers we know and trust.
- CloudLens remains accountable for standards and outcomes
- We only bring in engineers we have worked with before
- CloudLens remains hands-on to protect quality and continuity
