Cloud Engineering

We support customers across the lifecycle:
 👉 Assess → Plan (FinOps) → Build (Pro-Serv) → Optimize

1. Assessment (Understand & Evaluate)

What we provide

A comprehensive evaluation of current environments, workloads, and architecture readiness for cloud.

Key capabilities

• Current state assessment (infra, apps, dependencies): We take stock of your servers, applications and the dependencies between them, giving you an accurate picture of what you run today.
• Cloud readiness analysis: We evaluate how prepared your workloads, processes and teams are for the cloud, so you know what can move now and what needs groundwork first.
• Architecture review (scalability, reliability, security): We examine your design for scalability, reliability and security, flagging weak points before they turn into outages or vulnerabilities.
• Application and workload classification: Each workload is categorised by criticality, complexity and cloud suitability, so every application gets the right path forward.
• Risk and gap analysis: We identify technical, security and skills gaps early and set out clear steps to close them.

Outputs

• Assessment report: A consolidated document of our findings across infrastructure, applications and architecture, written for both technical and business readers.
• Migration readiness score: A measurable score showing how ready each workload is to move, helping you prioritise and sequence the journey.
• Identified risks and recommendations: A prioritised list of risks, each paired with a practical action to address it.
• High-level architecture blueprint: A target-state design showing how your environment will look in the cloud, forming the foundation for planning and build.

Business value

• Clear starting point for cloud journey: You begin with a fact-based view of where you stand today instead of working from assumptions.
• Reduced migration risk: Surfacing issues up front helps avoid surprises, delays and rework later in the project.
• Better planning and decision-making: Leadership can set budgets, timelines and priorities with confidence.

2. FinOps (Plan & Justify)

What we provide

Financial planning and cost modeling before implementation along with Cost Optimization post deployment.

Key capabilities

• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis: We calculate the full cost of running your workloads, including infrastructure, licences and operations, to establish a true cost baseline.
• Cost comparison (on-prem vs cloud): A side-by-side view of current spend and projected cloud spend, so the decision to move is backed by numbers.
• Workload sizing and estimation: We right-size compute, storage and network to actual demand, so you pay only for what you need.
• ROI and business case development: We translate technical benefits into financial terms, such as savings and payback period, that stakeholders can approve.
• Cost optimization recommendations (pre-deployment and post deployment): Pre-deployment guidance keeps the design cost-efficient, while post-deployment reviews uncover savings in live environments, such as idle resources, right-sizing and better pricing options.

Outputs

• Cost estimation model: A reusable model of projected cloud costs that you can adjust as scenarios and requirements change.
• ROI / business case document: A ready-to-present document that justifies the investment to decision-makers.
• Budget planning inputs: Forecasts and cost breakdowns your finance team can use directly in budgeting.

Business value

• Prevents over-provisioning: Resources are matched to real needs, so you avoid paying for capacity you never use.
• Ensures cost-efficient architecture from day one: Cost is built into the design from the start rather than retrofitted after the bills arrive.
• Aligns engineering with business budgets: Technical and finance teams work from the same numbers and the same goals.

3. Professional Services (Build & Transform)

This is the execution layer where Tekrosta engineers design, implement, and deliver cloud solutions.

3.1 Migration Services

What we provide

End-to-end migration of workloads to the cloud.

Migration types

• Rehost (Lift & Shift)
• Replatform (Optimize with minimal changes)
• Refactor (Cloud-native transformation)

Key capabilities

• Migration strategy & planning: We define the approach, sequence and timeline for each workload, choosing the right migration type for it.
• Dependency mapping: We map how applications, data and services connect, so nothing is missed or broken during the move.
• Data and application migration: Our engineers move your data and applications securely, with integrity checks and minimal disruption.
• Cutover and validation: We manage the switch to production and test thoroughly to confirm everything works as expected.
• Post-migration stabilization: Hands-on support after go-live to tune performance, resolve issues and settle the new environment.

Outputs

• Migrated workloads: Your applications and data running in the cloud, validated and ready for use.
• Migration runbooks: Step-by-step documentation of migration and cutover procedures, supporting repeatability and audit.
• Validation reports: Test evidence showing that migrated workloads perform and behave as expected.

Business value

• Faster cloud adoption: A proven, structured approach shortens the path from decision to production.
• Reduced downtime during migration: Careful planning and rehearsed cutovers keep disruption to the business low.
• Modernized application landscape: Your estate ends up more efficient, scalable and easier to maintain.

3.2 Deployments (Build New or Enhance Existing)

What we provide

Deployment of cloud infrastructure and applications using best practices.

Key capabilities

• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, etc.): Infrastructure is defined as code, so environments are versioned, reviewable and can be rebuilt on demand.
• CI/CD pipeline setup: Automated build, test and release pipelines that deliver changes quickly and reliably.
• Kubernetes and container platforms: Container platforms that run applications portably and scale them automatically with demand.
• Networking and security setup: Secure network design, access controls and security best practices configured from day one.
• Multi-environment setup (dev/test/prod): Separate, consistent dev, test and prod environments, so changes are validated before they reach customers.

Outputs

• Production-ready environments: Fully configured and tested environments, ready to host live workloads.
• Automated deployment pipelines: Pipelines your teams can use straight away to ship updates with minimal manual effort.
• Scalable and secure infrastructure: A foundation that grows with demand while protecting your data and applications.

Business value

• Faster time to market: Automation and ready-made environments let you release new features sooner.
• Consistent and repeatable deployments: The same process runs every time, across every environment.
• Reduced manual errors: Automation removes the mistakes that come with hand-built configuration.

3.3 Proof of Concepts (POCs)

What we provide

Rapid experimentation to validate ideas, architectures, or technologies.

Key capabilities

• Use-case driven solution design: We start from your specific business problem and design a focused solution to prove it.
• Rapid prototyping: We build a working prototype quickly, so you can see real results early rather than waiting on a full project.
• Technology evaluation (cloud services, tools): We test cloud services and tools against your requirements, so you choose the best fit based on evidence.
• Performance and feasibility testing: We measure how the solution performs and whether it is practical at your scale before you commit.

Outputs

• Working prototype / demo: A functioning demonstration your stakeholders can see and try for themselves.
• Evaluation report: Documented findings, results and lessons learned from the experiment.
• Recommendation for production rollout: Clear guidance on whether and how to take the solution into production.

Business value

• Faster decision-making: Real results replace speculation, so decisions come sooner.
• Reduced risk before large investments: Ideas are validated before major budget is committed.
• Innovation enablement: A low-risk space to try new ideas and technologies.
