Cloud Architecture & DevOps

Infrastructure That Scales With You

Cloud-native architectures designed for performance, security, and cost efficiency. From greenfield builds to multi-cloud migrations.

Modern enterprises run on cloud infrastructure, but cloud done badly is a financial and operational liability. At Corelix, we design cloud architectures that scale predictably, recover gracefully, and cost what they should — measured in unit economics, not just monthly bills.

Our cloud practice spans the full lifecycle: from initial architecture design through migration, optimisation, and long-term operational excellence. We work across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, designing solutions that match your team's capabilities and your business's risk tolerance.

Capabilities

What we deliver

Cloud Architecture Design

Production-grade architectures with proper separation of concerns, security boundaries, and scalability patterns. Multi-region, multi-AZ designs for mission-critical systems.

Cloud Migration Strategy

Methodical migration from on-premises or single-cloud to optimised cloud environments. Strangler fig patterns, lift-and-shift evaluations, and phased rollouts.

Kubernetes & Container Orchestration

Production Kubernetes deployments with proper observability, security, and cost controls. EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters.

CI/CD Pipeline Engineering

Build, test, and deploy pipelines that ship code safely and quickly. GitOps workflows, infrastructure deployment automation, and progressive delivery.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, Pulumi, and CDK implementations that make your infrastructure reproducible, auditable, and version-controlled. No more clickops.

Cloud Cost Optimisation

Detailed analysis of your cloud spend with concrete recommendations. Reserved instances, spot strategies, right-sizing, and architectural improvements.

Our approach

Our cloud engagement methodology

1

Current State Assessment

We map your existing infrastructure, identify pain points, and quantify costs. This includes performance baselines, security posture, and operational maturity.

2

Target Architecture Design

We design the target state with clear migration paths. Architecture documents include cost projections, risk assessments, and rollback strategies.

3

Phased Implementation

We migrate or build in phases that deliver value early. Each phase has clear success criteria and minimal disruption to existing operations.

4

Operational Handover

We set up monitoring, alerting, and runbooks. Your team receives full documentation and training to operate the new infrastructure confidently.

Sample deliverables

What you receive

Every engagement concludes with concrete artefacts your team can act on. We hand over documentation, code, and capability — not just slides.

  • Architecture diagrams in C4 model with ADRs
  • Production-ready Terraform / Pulumi modules
  • Runbooks and operational documentation
  • Cost optimisation report with quantified savings
  • Security and compliance posture assessment
  • Disaster recovery and business continuity plans
