Cloud Strategy and Advisory

Adoption, migration, modernization, and reliability engineering,

Cloud strategy, engineered for outcomes.

Sundew builds secure, scalable cloud platforms engineered for growth. Led by certified experts, we handle the entire journey, including migration, modernization, cost optimization, and managed operations, from initial strategy through long-term support.

Multi-cloud by workload.

Sundew engineers on the cloud platform that fits the workload, the compliance profile, and the enterprise's existing environment. Every architectural decision is grounded in what a workload actually needs, not in a platform preference we defaulted to.

Primary Cloud Practice

Microsoft Azure

Sundew delivers deep-rooted Azure expertise built on years of production experience. From multi-region architecture to secure Key Vault secrets, we build real production systems, not just concepts.
Workload Driven Delivery

Google

When data, AI, or analytics workloads point to GCP, Sundew applies strict engineering discipline. Our architecture decisions are grounded in what you actually need, not platform preference.
Multi Cloud Delivery

AWS

Engineered for scale, Sundew builds AWS environments using ECS, EKS, and infrastructure as code. We deliver cost-aware, elastic cloud architecture without sacrificing your security or budget control.

Cloud Adoption Strategy

A cloud initiative without a framework becomes a series of disconnected decisions. Sundew's adoption strategy translates business goals into a prioritized roadmap, sequenced by risk, cost, and impact, so every downstream migration and architecture decision has a clear rationale.

Business and Workload Discovery

Assessing what moves, stays, and why. We map business criticality, dependencies, and cloud fit for every scoped workload.

Cloud Maturity Assessment

Benchmarking current-state cloud maturity across technology, operations, security, and financial governance, then mapping the gap to where the business needs to be.

Landing Zone Setup

A secure foundation with IAM, guardrails, and networking built for teams starting fresh or resetting after fragmented adoption.

Phased Adoption Roadmap

Sequenced rollouts with clear milestones, TCO modeling, and compliance mapping, not a high-risk, big-bang cutover on go-live day.

Migration and Modernization

A lift-and-shift migration relocates the same problems to a new address. Sundew's migration practice refactors applications and infrastructure as they move, so what lands in the cloud is faster, cheaper to run, and easier to operate than what was left behind. Migration and modernization are one engagement, not two sequential projects, because the value only shows up when both occur together.

Application Refactoring

Re-architecting monoliths and legacy stacks for containerized, cloud-native environments. Sundew's Application Engineering practice runs this workstream in parallel with infrastructure migration.

Zero and Low-Downtime Cutover

Staged, workload-by-workload migration with rollback plans at every step. Cutover windows are sized to what the business can absorb, not to the vendor's project schedule.

Database Modernization

Moving to managed, zone-redundant database services built for the cloud. Oracle, DB2, and Sybase migrated to managed PostgreSQL on Azure or AWS RDS, depending on the workload profile.

Post-Migration Validation

Performance, cost, and reliability benchmarked against the pre-migration baseline to prove the move worked, with published numbers rather than declared success.

Cost Optimization and FinOps

Cloud spend rarely grows from one bad decision. It grows from a hundred small ones nobody is tracking. Sundew builds cost visibility and rightsizing into the infrastructure itself, so optimization is continuous rather than an annual cleanup project. FinOps is treated as an engineering discipline embedded in the platform, not as a spreadsheet exercise run once a quarter.

Spend Visibility and Tagging

Every resource is attributed to a team, project, or workload through mandatory policy-enforced tagging. No untracked cost hiding in an unassigned account.

Rightsizing and Waste Elimination

Idle resources, oversized instances, and unattached storage are identified and resolved on an ongoing cadence, not on an annual audit.

Reserved and Committed-Use Planning

Capacity purchased ahead of predictable need, not paid for at on-demand rates by default. Savings plans are structured to match actual workload patterns.

FinOps Reporting Cadence

Monthly cost reviews are built into the operating rhythm, with anomaly alerts routed to the responsible team the moment they occur, not surfaced on the monthly bill.

Reliability and Resilience Engineering

Downtime is not usually a technology failure. It is a planning gap. Sundew designs cloud infrastructure to withstand zone outages, failed deployments, and traffic spikes without causing a business outage, and proves it with drills rather than documentation alone. Reliability is engineered before the incident, not learned from it.

High-Availability Architecture

Multi-zone and, where the business requires, multi-region design so no single infrastructure failure takes the business down.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) are defined upfront, sized to what the business can actually tolerate, backed by tested procedures.

Automated Failover

Traffic reroutes on its own within seconds of an incident, without waiting for a manual on-call response or a human decision at 2 a.m.

Recovery Drills

Failover tested on a scheduled cadence, with results documented, gaps closed, and lessons applied to the next drill. Resilience proven, not assumed.

Security and Governance

Retrofitting security after an incident is the expensive way to learn it. Sundew builds access control, secrets management, and governance guardrails into the architecture from day one, so compliance is a byproduct of good design rather than a separate remediation project. Every environment ships with the security posture the audit team will find, engineered from the landing zone forward.

Identity and Access Management

Least-privilege access is enforced across environments through role-based access control and identity federation, not through shared credentials or long-lived keys.

Secrets and Key Management

Centralized, rotated, and never hardcoded into application config. Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or GCP Secret Manager is integrated into every deployment.

Compliance and Audit Readiness

Infrastructure evidence was organized ahead of the audit rather than assembled in a scramble. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS readiness engineered in.

Governance Guardrails

Policies that prevent misconfiguration before it ships, enforced through Azure Policy, AWS Service Control Policies, or GCP Organization Policies, not caught after the scan finding.

Why the demand for DecSecOps is surging in the AI era.

Cloud transformation is the most-funded IT initiative in most enterprises, and one of the most commonly under-delivered. Below are the five patterns that most often derail cloud investments, and the ones Sundew engineers to prevent.

Talk to us

Cloud adoption without a clear strategy.

Most cloud initiatives lose momentum because they begin without a clear roadmap. Teams start with generic best practices and end with a mismatched set of services, unfinished migrations, and unclear ownership. When the strategy is a checklist rather than a framework, the cloud program becomes a series of disconnected decisions with no cumulative outcome to show for the spend.

Lift-and-shift migrations that
carry the old problems into the cloud.

A lift-and-shift migration relocates the same problems to a new address. Legacy monoliths run on cloud infrastructure with the same performance, cost profile, and fragility as they did on-premises. The cloud bill goes up. The operational burden stays. The modernization promise never arrives because the applications were never modernized during the move.

Cloud spend is growing
quietly from a hundred small decisions.

Cloud spend rarely grows from one bad decision. It grows from a hundred small ones that nobody is tracking. Idle resources. Oversized instances. On-demand billing, where reserved capacity would have paid for itself in a month. When cost visibility and rightsizing are not engineered into the infrastructure itself, the annual cleanup becomes an annual habit rather than a one-time correction.

Downtime from planning gaps, not
from technology failures.

Downtime rarely originates in a technology failure. It originates in a planning gap. A single-zone deployment that never anticipated the outage. A failover path that was documented but never tested. A recovery time objective that was set in a spreadsheet and never validated with a drill. When resilience is planned on paper rather than proven with drills, the first real incident becomes an unplanned learning event.

Security retrofitted after incidents,
not engineered in.

Retrofitting security after an incident is the expensive way to learn it. Enterprises that begin cloud programs without identity, access control, and governance guardrails engineered into the architecture typically spend two to three times the original build cost fixing security after the first serious finding. Security engineered in from the landing zone forward makes compliance a byproduct of good design, not a separate project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cloud strategy and advisory, and when do enterprises need it?
Cloud strategy translates business goals into a structured, secure cloud adoption roadmap. Enterprises typically need it in three scenarios:
- Starting fresh: Building a governed, scalable foundation before moving the first workload.
- Fixing sprawl: Unifying fragmented multi-cloud accounts, inconsistent governance, and spiraling costs under one operating model.
- Navigating major events: Executing complex migrations, responding to audit findings, or addressing unexpected cost spikes.
Sundew delivers end-to-end cloud advisory across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Which cloud platforms does Sundew work with: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud?
We engineer across all three major platforms based on your specific workload requirements rather than vendor bias:
- Microsoft Azure: Enterprise landing zones, multi-region architecture, and zone-redundant security.
- AWS: Scalable containerization (ECS/EKS), serverless architectures, and Infrastructure as Code.
- Google Cloud: Advanced data, analytics, and AI workloads (BigQuery, Vertex AI, GKE).
Every engagement is staffed with certified engineers for that specific cloud platform.
How does Sundew handle cloud cost optimization and FinOps for enterprises?
We treat FinOps as an ongoing engineering discipline built directly into the cloud platform, not a quarterly spreadsheet exercise. We control spend through:
- Mandatory Resource Tagging: Tracking every resource to specific teams and projects from day one.
- Continuous Rightsizing: Automatically detecting and fixing idle or oversized resources.
- Real-Time Cost Alerts: Routing spending spikes to team leads the moment they happen.
- Architectural Cost Reviews: Optimizing the underlying system design, not just instance sizes.
Our FinOps Foundation-certified practitioners deliver against concrete cost-reduction targets.
What cloud certifications do Sundew engineers hold, and why does it matter?

Our team holds professional and expert-level credentials across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, alongside specialized certifications in Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD/CKS), Terraform, FinOps, CISSP, and CCSP.
Certifications provide clear external validation of expertise, but credentials are only our starting floor. Every certified engineer actively manages complex production environments daily, ensuring certified knowledge is backed by real-world execution.
How does Sundew approach cloud security, compliance, and governance for regulated industries?
We build security and compliance directly into your cloud architecture from day one, not as a last-minute audit scramble:
- Zero-Trust Access: Enforcing strict role-based access control (RBAC), least privilege, and central secret management.
- Automated Guardrails: Using policy-as-code to prevent misconfigurations before they ship.
- Continuous Compliance: Architecting foundations to meet SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR/EU AI Act requirements by default.

Migrating to the cloud without refactoring your architecture is just expensive hosting.

Most enterprise cloud initiatives fail to deliver ROI because legacy software is simply moved, not modernized. Sundew pairs senior cloud architects and strategic advisors to align your infrastructure with true cloud economics.

From multi-cloud roadmaps and cloud-native refactoring to FinOps cost governance, we build practical strategy designed for execution, scale, and long-term performance.
