Cloud Engineering

Cloud Architecture & Engineering

Secure, elastically scalable enterprise cloud environments on AWS, GCP, and Azure designed for 99.99% uptime and zero-trust security.

Architect a resilient cloud foundation. KryoNex designs and deploys Well-Architected cloud environments using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), zero-trust security boundaries, and automated FinOps cost optimization.

Service Overview

Migrating to the cloud without architectural refinement simply transfers technical debt to expensive data centers. True cloud engineering re-architects compute, storage, and networking for elasticity and zero-trust security.

We design cloud topologies according to the AWS/GCP/Azure Well-Architected Frameworks, implementing declarative Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to ensure 99.99% availability, sub-second latency, and predictable monthly infrastructure costs.

Business Challenges Addressed

Runaway Cloud Costs

Monthly infrastructure bills are skyrocketing because legacy applications were "lifted and shifted" without optimization.

Data Center End-of-Life

On-premise hardware is aging out and the business wants to exit the data center management business entirely.

Security & Compliance Gaps

The current cloud footprint lacks proper identity and access management (IAM), exposing critical databases to the public internet.

Ideal For

High-Growth Startups

Companies needing a scalable foundation that won't collapse when user acquisition rapidly accelerates.

Regulated Enterprises

Organizations in healthcare or finance that require strict data residency and audited compliance in the cloud.

When to Consider

Pre-Migration Planning

Before migrating any workloads, when you need a clear blueprint of the target architecture and estimated run rates.

Architectural Remediation

When your current cloud environment has become a tangled, unmanageable "spaghetti architecture" that needs to be refactored.

Engagement Framework

Typical Scenarios

Cloud-Native Greenfield Build

Designing the complete infrastructure footprint (VPCs, subnets, database clusters) for a brand new application.

Monolith to Cloud Migration

Systematically migrating a legacy on-premise application into managed cloud services (e.g., moving SQL Server to RDS).

Multi-Cloud Strategy Implementation

Architecting a workload to span AWS and GCP simultaneously to achieve absolute maximum resilience against regional outages.

Engagement Models

Architecture Review

A deep-dive audit of an existing cloud environment to identify security flaws, cost leaks and reliability risks.

Migration & Implementation

A turnkey engagement to architect the new environment, move the data and successfully cut over traffic.

Delivery Methodology

Cloud Strategy & Workload Profiling

We analyze current resource utilization (CPU, memory, IOPS) to right-size target cloud instances, design security controls, and forecast run rates.

Cloud Cost & Capacity ForecastCurrent-State Architecture Profiling

Zero-Trust Network & IAM Architecture

We design isolated network topologies (VPCs, subnets), least-privilege IAM roles, and disaster recovery (DR) strategies before provisioning resources.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Engineering

We write modular Terraform/OpenTofu code that defines the entire cloud environment, enforcing version control and automated deployments.

Data Migration & Zero-Downtime Cutover

We synchronize production databases, conduct load testing in the target cloud, and execute a flawless DNS cutover during planned windows.

Operational Responsibilities

KryoNex Responsibilities

  • Design the target architecture to adhere to the Well-Architected Framework.
  • Write and execute the Terraform modules to build the environment.
  • Manage the secure transfer of databases and object storage.

Client Responsibilities

  • Provide accurate compliance and data residency requirements (e.g., HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR).
  • Facilitate access to existing data center or legacy cloud accounts.

Shared Responsibilities

  • Execute User Acceptance Testing (UAT) in the new environment prior to final cutover.

Expected Deliverables

  • Target Architecture Blueprints
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Repository
  • IAM and Network Security Configuration
  • Disaster Recovery (DR) Playbook

Success Criteria

  • All resources are deployed exclusively via code (no manual console clicks).
  • Monthly cloud run-rate aligns within 10% of the pre-migration forecast.
  • Zero unplanned downtime during the final production cutover.

Transition & Support

Following a successful deployment or migration, we provide comprehensive documentation of the cloud topology. Clients can choose to operate the environment internally or transition into our Managed Infrastructure service for 24/7 SLA-backed operational support.

Technologies

AWS / GCP / Azure

Deploying to the optimal major cloud provider based on your technical and business requirements.

Terraform / OpenTofu

Using industry-standard IaC to make infrastructure versionable, reviewable and repeatable.

Docker & Kubernetes

Containerizing workloads to ensure they run consistently across any cloud provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you recommend AWS, GCP, or Azure?

We are cloud-agnostic. We recommend the provider that best fits your existing skillsets, enterprise agreements and specific technical requirements (e.g., GCP is often preferred for heavy data analytics, while Azure is dominant in Microsoft-heavy enterprises).

Will we have vendor lock-in?

We design architectures to minimize lock-in by favoring containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) and open-source managed services (like PostgreSQL). However, we balance this against the operational benefits of using deeply integrated native cloud services.

How do you handle data migration with minimal downtime?

For critical databases, we establish continuous replication from the on-premise source to the cloud target. During the cutover window, we simply pause writes, sync the final bytes and flip the DNS, resulting in minutes rather than hours of downtime.
