Managed Cloud Services
Remote cloud server management on AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. DNS, SSL, Cloudflare WAF, cost optimization, and database administration.
The problem
Cloud servers are easy to provision and easy to misconfigure. Exposed storage buckets, open security groups, unmonitored database ports, and uncontrolled resource usage are common issues that go unnoticed until they cause a security incident or an unexpected bill.
What we do
Managed Cloud covers the ongoing administration of your virtual servers, databases, DNS zones, SSL certificates, and cloud security configurations on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Who it is for
Businesses and developers with existing cloud infrastructure that requires ongoing administration, or organizations moving to the cloud who need the configuration handled properly from the start.
How an engagement works
We audit your existing cloud environment, access controls, networking, storage permissions, and cost allocation. We implement a security and cost control baseline and maintain it on an ongoing basis under a documented scope.
Why it matters
Cloud infrastructure requires ongoing attention. Security groups change, SSL certificates expire, costs drift upward, and configurations become outdated. Unmanaged cloud environments consistently produce both security incidents and budget overruns.
Included
- Virtual server provisioning, configuration, and security hardening
- DNS zone management
- SSL certificate provisioning and renewal monitoring
- Cloudflare configuration (DNS, WAF rules, caching policies)
- Automated cloud snapshot & backup policy configuration (AWS EBS/RDS, Azure, GCP)
- Cloud cost monitoring and optimization recommendations
- Database administration (PostgreSQL, MySQL, managed cloud databases)
Not included
- Custom application code development
- Physical data center hardware
- Internet service provider or colocation management
- Third-party cloud infrastructure subscription costs (billed directly to client)
What you can expect
- Your cloud environment is configured securely from the start.
- SSL certificates are monitored, no surprise expiry outages.
- Storage permissions and network access are reviewed on schedule.
- Cost anomalies are flagged before they accumulate into large bills.
Questions about this
- Which cloud platforms do you support?
- We support AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Multi-cloud environments can be discussed during the assessment.
- Can you migrate an existing server to the cloud?
- Yes. Cloud migrations are within scope. We assess your current setup, plan the migration to minimize downtime, and configure the new environment to a documented standard.
- Do you manage the applications running on the server?
- We manage the server infrastructure and platform configuration. Application-level support depends on the specific software, discuss this during the assessment.
- What if my cloud bill spikes unexpectedly?
- We configure budget alerts and review cost reports regularly. If unusual usage appears, we flag it promptly. We cannot prevent every cost increase. We do aim to find and act on unusual charges sooner than an unmonitored account would.
What it costs
Yearly care starts from $249 a year and is priced from your written scope. A single job starts at $249. The final price is written down for you to approve first. There is no automatic renewal. Ask for a scoped quote or call (833) 613-8638.
