AWS Managed Services

A steady hand on your AWS environment.

Every AWS estate is somewhere on a journey — some are mid-migration, some have been running quietly for years, most are a bit of both. Before we propose anything, we sit down with you and map what you actually have.

From there we agree what's worth managing, what's worth improving, and in what order. No pressure to move faster than makes sense for your business.

A 60-minute conversation, with no obligation.

Where we start

The discovery & inventory session

One working session with your team and one of our AWS architects. You leave with a written picture of your estate — whether or not you ever engage us.

01A full inventory of accounts, workloads and spend
02Where you sit on the AWS Well-Architected roadmap
03The security, cost and resilience gaps worth acting on
04A prioritised plan you own — managed by us or not
Working with CloudZA

What it's like to have us alongside you.

We're a South African AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner. Most of our work is long-term: the same engineers who design your environment are the ones who look after it afterwards.

We start by listening

The discovery and inventory plan comes before any proposal. You get a clear view of your estate and a roadmap you can act on with or without us.

AWS has validated the work

Competencies in Security, AI, Data & Analytics and DevOps — each one earned through an independent AWS audit of real customer delivery.

One team, whole lifecycle

Design, build and run sit with the same people. Nothing is handed from a project team to an unfamiliar support desk once you go live.

Local base, global reach

A Cape Town support centre, invoicing in rand and a South African escalation path into AWS — while we manage workloads in any AWS region your business runs in.

Reachable when it counts

Monitoring runs around the clock and first-line support answers on WhatsApp, so small things get handled before they become incidents.

It stays your account

We manage your AWS account, we don't hold it. Full visibility of spend, no lock-in, and a clean exit if your plans ever change.

AWS Partnership

Specialisation you can verify.

An AWS Competency isn't a badge you apply for and receive. AWS reviews the architecture, the delivery evidence and the customer references behind it. We hold four, plus service delivery designations across RDS, QuickSight and the Well-Architected Partner Program.

Security

Identity, guardrails, threat detection and audit-ready configuration — the foundation everything else sits on.

AI Services

Generative AI on Bedrock and agentic workloads — built with the same governance and cost discipline as the rest of your estate.

Data & Analytics

Pipelines, lakehouses and reporting that stay reliable once the build team has moved on.

DevOps

Infrastructure as code, CI/CD and release practices that make change routine instead of risky.

AWS first, multicloud where you need it.

AWS is the primary platform for our customers and for us. Google Cloud is our clear second platform, with dedicated interconnect and delivery capability, and we provide Azure assistance where a customer's estate already includes it — so a second footprint stays reachable from your AWS estate rather than sitting outside it.

What's included

The day-to-day of a managed environment.

Scope is set with you after discovery — few customers take everything on day one. This is what's available to draw from.

How we work

Discovery first, then a plan you agreed to.

Four stages. The first one is where most of the value sits — and it's the only one you need to say yes to now.

01

Inventory & discovery

We map every account, workload, dependency and rand of spend, then place you honestly on the AWS roadmap. You get the written findings either way.

02

Agree the plan

Together we decide what to manage, what to fix first and what can wait. Scope, SLAs and rand pricing are set before anything starts.

03

Onboard & stabilise

Monitoring, guardrails and runbooks go in against your existing environment. Your team meets the engineers who'll be answering the phone.

04

Run & improve

Day-to-day operations, plus a standing cadence on cost, security and reliability. The roadmap gets revisited, not filed away.

Local base, global reach

Down the road when you need us, in any region when your business does.

AWS is global. Your auditors, your procurement process and your finance team are not. We work in the same regulatory and commercial reality you do — and we manage estates wherever they happen to run.

Customers with operations across Africa, Europe and the US are managed from the same team, on the same terms.

Billing in rand

A single local invoice, in your currency, on your payment terms — no forex exposure on your cloud line item.

Local support centre

Our engineers work SA hours and cover the rest of the clock. You're never explaining an incident to a time zone that's asleep.

af-south-1 native

We design for the Cape Town region first, so data residency is the default rather than a later remediation — a starting point, not a restriction. We deploy and operate in other AWS regions just as readily.

Any region, any footprint

Local doesn't mean limited. We run multi-region and cross-border estates — EU, US, wider Africa — under one managed service and one point of contact.

POPIA alignment

Controls, logging and reporting built to stand up to a POPIA review — and to your internal audit team.

Direct line into AWS

As an Advanced Tier partner we escalate through our own AWS channels — including the local South African team.

Start with a conversation about your business.

Book a discovery and inventory assessment with one of our AWS architects. We'll start with what the business needs to achieve, look at what you're running today, and set out where it could sensibly go next — and you'll have something useful in writing regardless of what you decide.
