Cloud Transformation & Managed Services

Cloud transformation

We help businesses plan and carry out their cloud journey, from the first assessment to a modern, scalable platform. Every migration starts with your goals, whether that's lower running costs, faster releases, better resilience or all three.

• Cloud strategy and assessment: which applications to move, in what order and to which platform.
• Migration of applications and databases to AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, including multi-cloud set-ups.
• Modernization: containers with Docker and Kubernetes, infrastructure as code with Terraform, and cloud-native services.
• Security by design, including zero-trust principles, identity and access controls, and encrypted data.
• Cost optimization, so you pay for what you use and can see where the money goes.

Managed services that keep you running

Once your systems are live, our operations team keeps them healthy. We monitor, maintain and improve your environments, and we respond quickly when something needs attention.

• 24×7 production support for mission-critical systems.
• Infrastructure and system updates, applied on a schedule that avoids disrupting your users.
• Performance optimization, aiming for zero downtime during changes and releases.
• Proactive NOC and SOC monitoring, so issues are spotted before your customers notice them.
• Incident response and resolution, with clear communication and a written follow-up.

DevOps and SRE

Reliable cloud platforms depend on reliable delivery. Our DevOps and site reliability engineers build CI/CD pipelines with tools such as Jenkins and Bamboo, automate infrastructure with Terraform and Chef, and set up logging and monitoring with the Elastic stack.

The result is a platform your developers can release to several times a day with confidence, and an operations practice that learns from every incident rather than repeating it.

How a cloud migration runs

A good migration is mostly planning. We move in stages, prove each one works, and keep your business running throughout, so there's never a single high-risk weekend that everything depends on.

• Assess: we inventory your applications, data and dependencies, and agree the target platform and the order of moves.
• Design: a landing zone with networking, identity, security controls and cost tracking in place before any workload moves.
• Migrate: applications and databases move in waves, each tested and verified before traffic switches over.
• Optimize: once workloads are live, we tune performance and cost, and modernize where it pays off, such as containers or managed databases.
• Operate: our managed services team takes over monitoring, updates and support, or hands over to your team with documentation and training.

Engagement models

Pick the model that fits your budget, timeline and how much you want to manage day to day. You can start with one and move to another as the work changes.

• Staff augmentation: individual engineers join your team, work in your tools and ceremonies, and report to your leads.
• Dedicated team: a stable squad that we build around your roadmap, with a Five Frogs lead responsible for delivery and quality.
• Fixed-scope project: an agreed scope, timeline and price for well-defined work such as a module, migration or MVP.
