What Does AWS Consulting Involve?

Amazon Web Services consulting involves designing, deploying, and managing services on AWS. It is designed for organisations that want to use AWS effectively, without taking on unnecessary risk, complexity, or cost.
A good AWS setup includes more than choosing services and launching resources. It requires clear identity and access management, network design, security controls, monitoring, backup and recovery planning, and sensible cost governance. With the right approach, AWS can deliver scalability and resilience while supporting compliance requirements and predictable operations.
What We Help With
AWS Architecture and Foundations
A well-structured AWS environment makes everything else easier, including security, performance, and control. We help you design and implement strong foundations, including:
- Account and environment structure for production, development, and testing
- Network design, including VPCs, subnets, routing, and secure connectivity
- Identity and access management policies, roles, and least privilege design
- Logging, monitoring, and alerting to support operational visibility
- Backup, recovery, and resilience planning aligned with business priorities
AWS Migration and Modernisation
Moving to AWS can be straightforward when it is planned properly. We support migrations and modernisation projects with a focus on reducing disruption and managing risk, including:
- Discovery and assessment of current infrastructure and workloads
- Migration planning, sequencing, and dependency mapping
- Replatforming, redesign, or lift and shift approaches based on suitability
- Secure connectivity during transition, including hybrid designs where needed
- Post migration stabilisation, performance tuning, and documentation
AWS Security and Compliance Support
AWS provides strong security capabilities, but they only help when configured and maintained correctly. We assist with building and maintaining a security posture that fits your organisation, including:
- Security best practices for identity, networking, and data protection
- Encryption, key management, and secure secrets handling
- Vulnerability management, patching approaches, and secure baselines
- Centralised logging, threat detection, and incident readiness
- Support for compliance-aligned controls, evidence, and documentation
Performance and Cost Optimisation
AWS is flexible, but flexibility can lead to waste without active cost governance. We help you improve performance and control spend, including:
- Rightsizing recommendations based on actual usage and demand
- Storage and backup optimisation, including lifecycle policies
- Review of high-cost services and usage patterns
- Budgeting, tagging strategy, and cost allocation for clearer reporting
- Practical guidance on reservations and savings options where appropriate
Ongoing AWS Management and Support
Many businesses want the benefits of AWS without becoming consumed by the operational workload. We can support ongoing management as part of a wider Managed Cloud Services arrangement, including:
- Proactive monitoring, maintenance, and routine reviews
- Change management support for new services and workloads
- Incident response assistance and root cause analysis
- Security updates, policy refinement, and continuous improvement
- Documentation, handover support, and collaboration with internal teams

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help if we already use AWS?
Yes. We can review your existing AWS environment, identify risks and opportunities, and help you improve security, reliability, and cost control. We can also take on ongoing management if you want a more proactive approach.
Will you work with our in house IT team or developers?
Yes. We can collaborate with internal teams, provide design guidance, implement improvements, and support knowledge transfer. The goal is to strengthen capability and reduce risk, not to create dependency.
Can you support hybrid environments?
Yes. Many organisations operate a mix of on-premises systems and AWS services. We can design secure connectivity and ensure the environment is managed as a coherent whole.
Can you help us control AWS costs?
Yes. We can identify waste and implement practical controls to give you better visibility and fewer surprises. We can also help you establish budgets, alerts, tagging, and reporting that fit how your business operates.
