A cloud foundation built to last.

We help you decide what to move, what to change and what to leave, then design an AWS architecture that is secure, resilient and ready for AI.

Problems we address

  • Cloud adoption without a plan

    Workloads move one by one with no agreed target, standards or ownership.

  • Architecture that was never reviewed

    Environments built under time pressure carry risks that only appear in production.

  • Accounts and access that sprawl

    Without a clear structure, permissions, networks and spending become hard to control.

  • A foundation not ready for AI

    AI workloads need data, security and platform capabilities that many environments lack.

Capabilities

Cloud strategy and business case

Align cloud decisions with business objectives, costs and risk.

Landing zone design

A secure multi-account foundation with identity, networking, logging and guardrails.

Reference architectures

Proven patterns for your workloads, adapted to your requirements.

Well-Architected reviews

Structured reviews of existing workloads against AWS best practice, with a prioritised improvement plan.

Operating model

Define roles, responsibilities and ways of working between your teams and ours.

AI readiness

Prepare data, security and platform capabilities for AI workloads.

How we deliver

  1. Assess

    Understand your applications, data, constraints and goals.

  2. Define the target

    Agree principles, standards and the architecture to aim for.

  3. Design

    Specify the foundation and reference architectures in detail.

  4. Review

    Validate designs and existing workloads against the Well-Architected Framework.

  5. Roadmap

    Sequence the work into stages that deliver value early.

Technical foundations on AWS

The AWS Well-Architected Framework reviews workloads across six pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimisation and sustainability.

  • AWS Well-Architected Framework
  • AWS Well-Architected Tool
  • AWS Control Tower
  • AWS Organizations
  • AWS IAM Identity Center
  • AWS Cloud Adoption Framework
  • CloudStraight is a member of the AWS Well-Architected Partner Program.

Security, governance and operations

  • Security by design

    Identity, encryption, logging and network boundaries are part of the foundation, not an add-on.

  • Guardrails, not gates

    Policies prevent risky configurations while letting teams move quickly.

  • Clear ownership

    Every account, workload and cost has a named owner.

  • Decisions recorded

    Architecture choices and their reasons are documented for future teams.
