Cloud & Infrastructure

Managed Cloud and Site Reliability

Your cloud estate watched and run through every hour, with reliability you can measure.

Why It Matters

Cloud estates fail in ways the dashboards do not show, as alerts arrive in floods and engineers chase symptoms.

The same incident returns because monitoring alone does not remove its cause. Someone must decide what matters, act on it and fix the source, through every hour of the week.

What We Do

  • Logs, metrics and traces that answer real questions, with alerts tied to what users experience.

  • Engineers set a reliability target for each service, measure it and remove the causes of failure.

  • A named team watches the estate through every hour, within response times agreed for each severity.

  • One process leads the response, the recovery and the review, and every significant incident ends with a fix and an owner.

What Changes for You

  1. Each service has an agreed target and a current figure, so you can see whether it meets the target at any time.

  2. Alerts are tuned to the signals that matter, so your team hears about a real problem before customers do.

  3. On-call follows one process with a written review after each significant incident, and repeat causes get fixed.

What We Run and Watch

We watch the cloud accounts, clusters and services that carry your product. A written coverage list names every account, workload and alert channel, so you know what is watched and what is not. Migration and architecture belong to our cloud migration service.

  • The Estate

    Accounts, clusters, managed services and the applications on them are watched through every hour. The coverage list is checked with your team each month, and a new account joins it before it takes live traffic.

  • Your Services

    Each service has a reliability target tied to what users experience and a dashboard that shows whether it meets the target. Alerts reach someone who can act on them.

  • Identity and Access

    Cloud sign-ins, administrator roles and changes to access are watched as they happen. A stolen account is raised before it reaches production data.

  • Network

    Traffic between accounts, clusters and your own sites is watched for the routes a failure or an attacker would use. We look at the paths between services, not only at the public edge.

Onboarding

Onboarding follows a fixed order and each stage has a named owner. Coverage grows in front of you, and the service does not go live until you have seen it.

  1. Connect

    We connect the accounts, logs, metrics and alert channels the service needs, and a short list names every source and its owner. You provide the access and confirm the list before we tune anything.

  2. Measure the Baseline

    We record incidents, alerts, response times and open risks before we change anything. You confirm the baseline is complete before targets are set.

  3. Agree the Targets

    We agree a reliability target for each service with the people who own it. You approve the response time and the escalation path for each severity.

  4. Rehearse

    We break a real service in a controlled exercise and follow the same call tree an incident would use. You name the people who join, the decisions they may take and the point where the exercise stops.

  5. Review

    At the first review we compare coverage, response times and the gaps we found. You agree the priorities and the changes for the next period.

Reporting

Every month you receive the alerts we answered, the incidents we handled and the reliability figure for each service. The report names what changed, how long users were affected and what we fixed at the source.

  • A Monthly Report

    Reliability against the target, incidents and open risks for each service, in one document. The figures come from the same telemetry your team can open.

  • An Incident Report

    Each incident is written up with its timeline, its cause and the change that prevents a repeat. The owner and the date sit beside each action.

  • A Board Summary

    Leaders get the effect on customers and the decisions they need to make, with the technical detail kept in an appendix.

Platforms and Technologies

OpenTelemetry collects logs, metrics and traces in one open format. Prometheus stores the measurements, and Grafana shows them on dashboards your team can read. Kubernetes runs the workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud, or on Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers.

Questions

What operations leaders ask before they hand over the estate.

What does site reliability engineering add to ordinary monitoring?

Monitoring tells you something is wrong. Site reliability engineering sets a target for each service and measures it. It then removes the causes of failure.

Who is on call, and how quickly do you respond?

Our engineers watch the alerts and answer within the time agreed for each severity. Your team keeps the business decisions, and we keep the timeline, the actions and the evidence.

Must we move to your monitoring tools?

No. We use the cloud and monitoring tools you already run where they give us the data we need. We name any gap before the service starts.

Where do our logs and metrics live?

Logs and metrics stay in the cloud region you choose and follow your access rules. We keep only what the service needs, and the data is deleted when the agreement ends.

Can we run the service ourselves later?

Yes. Your team gets the dashboards, runbooks and review records. We train them and step back when they are ready.
