AWS deployment and cloud engineering

AWS offers great flexibility and as many ways to overspend or leave something exposed. We build and run AWS in regions that fit your data and users, with security, recovery and cost controls, defined as code.

Discuss your project How the work is delivered

A good fit if

  • You are deploying or moving workloads to AWS and want it done properly.
  • You must choose between AWS Africa (Cape Town) and European regions, in line with data protection duties.
  • Accounts grew without a plan, with unclear permissions, untagged resources or rising bills.
  • You need repeatable pipelines, or proof of backups, recovery and monitoring for auditors, regulators or your board.

What is included

  • Readiness or well-architected review with prioritised findings
  • Landing zone: AWS Control Tower, guardrails, central logging
  • VPCs, private subnets, controlled links to offices or data centre
  • Infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK) and CI/CD pipelines
  • Workloads on ECS, EKS, Lambda or EC2, with managed databases
  • GuardDuty, Security Hub, KMS, AWS Backup, tested recovery plan

What this service is

The accounts, networks, identities, security controls, pipelines and infrastructure your applications run on. We build new environments, migrate workloads and bring unplanned accounts back under control. Done well, the cloud improves performance, can lower IT costs and gives secure access from any device; those benefits depend on early engineering decisions.

AWS and data location. We compare regions on latency for your users, service availability and cost. Data placed abroad is a transfer outside Nigeria, so the NDPA and the NDPC's implementation directive shape the choice, with sector rules such as CBN guidelines for banks and payment service providers or NITDA guidance for public institutions. Backups, logs, support access, global services such as content delivery and third-party tools can move data too, so we map where each type is stored and processed. Data that must stay in the country may suit a hybrid design with a local data centre. General information, not legal advice.

How we build it

Deploy

Pipelines from day one; ECS or EKS containers, Lambda or EC2, with managed databases such as RDS.

Migrate in waves

Testing, rollback paths and an agreed cut-over window; developers adapt apps that need it.

Separate accounts

Production apart from development, with central logging.

Identity

Single sign-on via IAM Identity Center and Microsoft Entra ID or another provider; least-privilege roles.

Continuous checks

KMS encryption, GuardDuty, Security Hub; cybersecurity extends further.

Documentation

Architecture documents, runbooks and a shared-responsibility matrix.

Cost controls and other clouds

Cloud costs grow quietly, and AWS bills in US dollars, so exchange rates can move your naira cost monthly. We review costs with you regularly, not once a year:

  • Owner and cost-centre tags
  • Budgets and anomaly alerts to named people
  • Rightsizing
  • Idle non-production switched off
  • Storage lifecycle rules
  • Savings Plans or reserved capacity once usage is stable

AWS is not always right. We also work with Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, IBM Cloud, DigitalOcean, Linode (Akamai) and local data centres, and help you choose through cloud services and migration. Naming a platform implies no partnership or reseller status.

Delivery

How the work is delivered

  1. Review and plan

    Workloads, accounts, security, data location and budget, then an agreed target architecture.

    Output: Findings and target architecture.

  2. Build the foundation

    Landing zone, identity, networking, logging, guardrails and cost controls, all defined as code.

    Output: Secure multi-account foundation.

  3. Deploy or migrate

    New applications, or migrations in planned waves, with pipelines and rollback paths.

    Output: Workloads running in AWS.

  4. Test resilience

    Backups, restores and failover tested; security findings reviewed; alerts confirmed.

    Output: Resilience and security evidence.

  5. Operate and optimise

    Runbooks handed over, or managed service with regular cost and security reviews.

    Output: Runbooks and optimisation plan.

Scope at a glance

Not included unless agreed

  • AWS usage, support plans and Marketplace, billed by AWS, usually in US dollars
  • Application code changes beyond deployment needs, unless scoped
  • Certification or audit opinions; we help prepare the evidence

What we need from you

  • AWS account in your name, or approval to create; billing
  • A technical contact to approve architecture and access requests
  • Workloads, sensitivity, availability; data protection, storage and transfer rules

Before handover

  • Environments rebuild from code; manual console changes are detected
  • Backups restored in a test; recovery time measured and documented
  • MFA on root, least-privilege single sign-on, findings fixed or accepted

What affects the cost

  • Number and complexity of workloads
  • Availability: multi-zone or cross-region recovery
  • Security, logging and compliance requirements
  • Existing account clean-up; ongoing operations

No package prices: estimates in naira from an agreed scope, taxes shown separately.

Questions buyers usually ask

Can we host our AWS workloads in Nigeria?

There is no AWS region in Nigeria; the nearest are Africa (Cape Town) and European regions such as Ireland, Frankfurt and London. That is a transfer outside Nigeria, allowed only under NDPA transfer conditions, and some sector or public-sector rules may require local data centres. Not legal advice.

What is the shared responsibility model?

AWS secures the cloud itself (data centres, hardware, core services); you secure what you run in it (configurations, identities, data, applications). We help carry your share, and a written matrix records who does what.

Should we use more than one AWS region?

For many workloads, one region with several availability zones is enough. A second region supports disaster recovery, at extra cost and complexity; both locations must fit your data transfer position and your recovery objectives.

Can you support us after the build?

Yes. Managed-service clients get 24/7 monitoring and support for AWS, with response targets set in the service agreement, as part of managed IT services. Or we hand over runbooks and documentation.

Guide

How to cut cloud costs

Cut cloud costs through visibility, waste removal, rightsizing, commitment discounts and better negotiations.
