Cloud cost optimization
Find recurring cloud waste, improve cost visibility, and turn AWS cost analysis into practical remediation without promising unrealistic savings.
Cloud modernization
AWS modernization
Improve AWS environments that have become expensive, fragile, manual, or difficult to operate after growth or lift-and-shift migration.
Service scope
What this engagement is designed to improve.
CCS reviews the current AWS environment, clarifies ownership and risk, and helps modernize architecture, infrastructure code, reliability, deployment paths, and governance. Kubernetes or EKS may be part of the answer when it is justified, but the engagement starts with the operating problem rather than a preferred tool.
Exact deliverables, access, timeline, and acceptance criteria are agreed before delivery starts.
Discuss this serviceProblems
Problems this service addresses
- Lift-and-shift infrastructure that remains expensive or hard to operate.
- Manual cloud changes with unclear ownership or weak repeatability.
- Architecture decisions that make reliability, cost, or delivery harder than necessary.
- Cloud accounts that need clearer governance, tagging, and operational responsibility.
- Workloads that may benefit from managed services, containers, or more deliberate migration planning.
Outcomes
Intended outcomes
These are operational targets for the engagement, not guaranteed results outside CCS control.
- A clearer target AWS architecture and modernization path.
- Improved reliability through simpler, more repeatable infrastructure.
- Better operational ownership across accounts, environments, and workloads.
- Infrastructure as Code foundations where they materially reduce risk.
- Practical migration recommendations that do not assume Kubernetes is always required.
Deliverables
Typical deliverables
The final scope may include assessment, implementation, documentation, or advisory work depending on the agreed outcome.
Current-state architecture and operations review.
Prioritized modernization roadmap.
Infrastructure as Code recommendations or implementation.
Reliability, ownership, and governance findings.
Migration or managed-service adoption plan where appropriate.
Handover notes and implementation documentation.
Process
How the engagement works
The exact path is scoped before delivery, but the operating model remains consistent: understand, assess, deliver, validate, and hand over.
Discovery and access
Confirm business goals, risk tolerance, current AWS structure, and the access needed for review.
Assessment and scope
Review architecture, operational practices, deployment paths, and ownership boundaries before confirming the work package.
Modernization work
Implement agreed changes or produce the architecture, IaC, and migration plan needed for delivery.
Validation and handover
Validate the operational path, document decisions, and leave the client with clear next steps.
Technology
Capabilities that may support the work
Technology badges indicate practical capability only. They do not imply vendor partnership, certification, or endorsement.
Client role
Client responsibilities
Clear client participation protects delivery quality and keeps production ownership where it belongs.
- Provide delegated access to the relevant client-owned AWS accounts.
- Identify business priorities, risk constraints, and decision owners.
- Review proposed changes before production implementation.
- Coordinate maintenance windows when changes affect live systems.
- Own vendor accounts, billing, and production assets.
Good fit
- Businesses with AWS environments that grew faster than their operating model.
- Teams that need a practical modernization plan after a lift-and-shift migration.
- Organizations that want clearer cloud ownership before scaling further.
Boundaries
- A promise to move every workload to Kubernetes.
- Unlimited implementation under a fixed assessment scope.
- 24/7 operations unless separately contracted.
