AWS Cloud Consulting
Cloud Infrastructure That Scales With Your Ambition
Whether you’re migrating to the cloud for the first time, optimizing a runaway AWS bill, or architecting for enterprise scale — we bring certified AWS expertise that turns cloud complexity into competitive advantage.
WHAT WE DO
AWS Cloud Consulting at Native AI Lab X means more than spinning up servers. We design, build, migrate, and optimize cloud infrastructure that is secure, cost-efficient, highly available, and built for the workloads your business actually runs — not a generic template.
Architect
Design cloud infrastructure built for your scale, security needs, and budget
Migrate
Move to AWS safely, with zero data loss and minimal disruption
Optimize
Cut costs, improve performance, and eliminate waste in your existing AWS setup
THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
AWS offers over 200 services. Most businesses use 12 of them — and half of those are misconfigured.
Cloud bills spiral out of control because nobody audited the infrastructure in 18 months. Security gaps appear because IAM policies were set up in a hurry. Applications go down because the architecture wasn’t designed for the load it’s now handling.
Meanwhile, migration projects stall because nobody mapped the dependencies properly. And teams spend more time firefighting infrastructure than building product.
At Native AI Lab X, we bring structured AWS expertise to every engagement — whether you’re just starting your cloud journey or trying to bring order to years of accumulated complexity.
OUR AWS CLOUD CONSULTING CAPABILITIES
What We Do
Cloud Strategy & Roadmap
Before a single resource is provisioned, we help you answer the strategic questions: What should move to the cloud? In what order? With what architecture? At what cost? We build an AWS roadmap aligned to your business goals, risk tolerance, and team capabilities.
Deliverables: Cloud readiness assessment, migration priority matrix, architecture blueprint, total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, phased implementation roadmap
Cloud Migration
Moving from on-premise or another cloud provider to AWS is one of the highest-risk, highest-reward projects a technology team can undertake. We’ve done it many times — and we know exactly where projects go wrong.
We handle the full migration lifecycle: discovery, dependency mapping, architecture design, migration execution, validation, and cutover — with a rollback plan at every stage.
Migration types we handle:
- Lift & shift (rehost) for speed
- Re-platforming for quick modernization wins
- Re-architecting for cloud-native performance
- Database migrations (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL → RDS / Aurora)
- Legacy application modernization
Tools: AWS Migration Hub, AWS DMS, AWS Server Migration Service, CloudEndure
Cloud Architecture & Design
Good cloud architecture is invisible — it just works, scales, and stays secure without your team thinking about it. Bad architecture is expensive, fragile, and hard to fix after the fact.
We design AWS architectures following the AWS Well-Architected Framework across all five pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization.
What we design:
- Multi-tier application architectures
- Microservices and container-based platforms (ECS, EKS)
- Serverless architectures (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB)
- Event-driven architectures (SQS, SNS, EventBridge)
- High-availability and multi-region setups
- Disaster recovery and business continuity architectures
Cost Optimization & FinOps
AWS cost overruns are one of the most common and painful problems we see. Unused resources, over-provisioned instances, missing Reserved Instance coverage, inefficient data transfer patterns — the waste adds up fast.
We conduct deep cost audits, identify every source of waste, and implement a FinOps practice that gives your team ongoing visibility and control over cloud spend.
What we deliver:
- Detailed cost breakdown and waste analysis
- Right-sizing recommendations for EC2, RDS, and other compute
- Reserved Instance and Savings Plans strategy
- S3 storage lifecycle policy optimization
- Tagging strategy and cost allocation framework
- Cost anomaly alerting and monthly FinOps reporting
Typical outcome: 30–55% reduction in monthly AWS spend within 60 days
Cloud Security & Compliance
Security in the cloud is a shared responsibility — and the customer’s side of that responsibility is larger than most teams realise. Misconfigured S3 buckets, overpermissive IAM roles, missing encryption, and absent logging are the leading causes of cloud security incidents.
We audit your AWS environment against security best practices and implement the controls, policies, and monitoring your business requires — whether you’re pursuing SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS compliance.
What we implement:
- IAM policy review and least-privilege redesign
- VPC architecture and network segmentation
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, and Config setup
- CloudTrail audit logging and SIEM integration
- Secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, Parameter Store)
- Vulnerability scanning and patch management automation
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Manually clicking through the AWS console to provision infrastructure is slow, error-prone, and impossible to audit. Infrastructure as Code means your entire cloud environment is version-controlled, reproducible, and deployable in minutes.
We migrate your infrastructure to code and establish the practices that make your deployments consistent, reviewable, and reversible.
Tools: Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, Pulumi
What we deliver: Modular IaC codebase, environment parity (dev/staging/prod), CI/CD pipeline for infrastructure, drift detection, full documentation
Containerisation & Kubernetes
Containers are the standard unit of modern cloud deployment. If your team is still deploying directly to EC2 instances without containerisation, you’re carrying unnecessary operational overhead.
We design and implement container platforms on AWS — from simple ECS setups to production-grade Kubernetes clusters on EKS — with full CI/CD pipelines, auto-scaling, and observability.
Tools: Docker, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, Kubernetes, Helm, AWS Fargate
Use cases: Application containerisation, microservices platform setup, Kubernetes cluster management, container security hardening, auto-scaling configuration
Cloud Monitoring & Observability
You can’t manage what you can’t see. We implement full-stack observability across your AWS environment — infrastructure metrics, application performance, log aggregation, distributed tracing, and intelligent alerting.
Tools: Amazon CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, Datadog, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, PagerDuty
What we deliver: Unified monitoring dashboards, SLA and uptime tracking, anomaly detection, on-call alerting runbooks, cost and performance correlation reporting
Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity
What happens to your business if your primary AWS region goes down? If your database gets corrupted? If a deployment goes wrong at 2am on a Friday? We design and test disaster recovery plans that match your RTO and RPO requirements — so you have a real answer to those questions.
What we deliver: DR architecture design, RTO/RPO definition and validation, backup strategy, multi-region failover setup, runbook documentation, quarterly DR testing
OUR PROCESS
How We Deliver Cloud Engagements
Cloud Discovery & Assessment
We audit your current environment — on-premise or existing AWS — cataloguing every workload, dependency, data flow, and cost driver. We assess security posture, architecture quality, and operational maturity. You receive a written findings report before we proceed.
Strategy & Architecture Design
We design the target state architecture and present it to your team for review. Every design decision is documented with its rationale — no black boxes. We produce a phased delivery plan with clear milestones, risk mitigations, and cost projections.
Foundation Setup
We establish your AWS account structure, networking foundation (VPC, subnets, security groups), IAM framework, logging and monitoring baselines, and IaC scaffold. Getting the foundation right at this stage prevents expensive rework later.
Migration or Build Execution
We execute the migration or build in prioritised phases — starting with lower-risk workloads and progressing to business-critical systems. Each phase includes validation checkpoints and rollback procedures before cutover.
Security Hardening
Once workloads are on AWS, we implement the full security layer — IAM hardening, encryption, network controls, audit logging, and compliance controls. We run automated security scans and remediate every finding before sign-off.
Optimisation & Handover
We right-size compute, implement Reserved Instance coverage, set up cost monitoring, and tune performance. We hand over full documentation, runbooks, and architecture diagrams — and train your team to operate the environment confidently.
Ongoing Managed Support
We offer ongoing managed support — architecture reviews, incident response, new service onboarding, cost reviews, and Well-Architected Framework reviews — so your cloud environment stays healthy as your business evolves.
AWS SERVICES WE WORK WITH
Across the Full AWS Stack
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Built For Teams Like Yours
Enterprises Migrating From On-Premise
You’re running ageing infrastructure in a data centre and the cost, risk, and limitations are becoming impossible to justify. We plan and execute the migration to AWS with the rigour your business requires.
Teams With Runaway AWS Bills
Your AWS spend has grown 3x in 18 months and nobody knows exactly why. We audit every dollar, eliminate waste, and put guardrails in place so costs stay predictable as you scale.
Security & Compliance-Driven Organisations
You operate in healthcare, finance, or another regulated industry and your AWS environment needs to meet formal compliance requirements. We implement the technical controls that satisfy your auditors.
Startups Scaling Fast
You’ve outgrown your original architecture and cracks are showing under load. We redesign your AWS setup for scale — without requiring a full rebuild or a 6-month freeze on product development.
Engineering Teams Without Cloud Specialists
Your engineers are excellent developers but not cloud infrastructure specialists. We fill that gap — delivering production-grade AWS architecture and transferring knowledge to your team as we go.
Businesses After a Bad Migration Experience
A previous migration didn’t go as planned. Things are running on AWS now but performance is poor, costs are high, and the architecture feels held together with tape. We conduct a Well-Architected Review and fix it properly.
RESULTS WE'VE DELIVERED
What Better Cloud Infrastructure Has Done for Our Clients
FAQ
Common Questions
We're not on AWS yet. How long does a typical migration take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your environment. A focused migration of 3–5 applications typically takes 8–12 weeks. A large enterprise migration with 20+ workloads is typically scoped as a phased programme over 6–12 months. We’ll give you a specific estimate after the discovery assessment.
We're already on AWS but things are messy. Can you fix an existing environment?
That’s one of our most common engagements. We start with a Well-Architected Review to assess where you stand, then execute a prioritised remediation plan — improving security, reducing costs, and improving reliability without needing to start from scratch.
How do you handle the risk of downtime during migration?
Every migration we run includes a detailed cutover plan with a validated rollback procedure at each stage. We migrate and validate in parallel environments before any production cutover, and we schedule high-risk changes during low-traffic windows. Downtime, where unavoidable, is measured in minutes — not hours.
Can you help us reduce our AWS costs without breaking anything?
Yes — cost optimisation is one of our most requested standalone engagements. We audit your environment, identify every source of waste, and implement changes in order of risk — starting with zero-risk quick wins like deleting unused resources, then moving to right-sizing and Reserved Instance strategy.
Do you offer ongoing managed support after the project?
Yes. We offer monthly retainer packages that include architecture reviews, incident support, cost monitoring, security scanning, and new service onboarding. Many clients engage us for a migration project and continue on a retainer for ongoing cloud operations support.
Are you AWS certified?
Yes. Our team holds AWS certifications including Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, and Security Specialty. We stay current with AWS releases and apply best practices from the AWS Well-Architected Framework on every engagement.
Can you work alongside our existing internal IT or DevOps team?
Absolutely — and we prefer it. Your internal team has institutional context we don’t have. We bring specialist AWS depth, delivery structure, and documentation rigour. Together we move faster and build something your team can genuinely own after we hand over.
Your Cloud Should Be an Asset, Not an Overhead.
