01
The bill grows without the workload
No tag taxonomy, no cost ownership, idle commitments and oversized instances. Finance sees the total, nobody can attribute it to a service.
Managed Services · Pillar
Managed Cloud & Infrastructure Services
Azure and AWS estates operated for performance, security and predictable cost — with residency, guardrails and audit evidence built into the operating model rather than added after the first finding.
What we manage
Platforms, guardrails and observability as one architecture.
- ISO 27001
- NIS2
- BSI-Grundschutz
- GDPR
- SLA 24/7
Executive summary
- 01We plan and run cloud platforms end to end: migration, Azure and AWS operations, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, security posture management, observability and virtual desktops.
- 02It is built for organisations whose cloud estate has grown faster than the discipline around it — rising bills, drifting configuration and no reliable evidence for auditors.
- 03Everything is operated as code with cost, reliability and security targets agreed up front, and residency decisions taken deliberately for EU and cross-border operations.
- 04The business outcome is controlled cloud spend, measurable reliability, and infrastructure that can pass a compliance review without a fire drill.
Who it is for
Who this is for
- CIOs and infrastructure leads with a growing Azure or AWS estate
- Companies migrating from on-premises or a legacy hoster
- Teams running Kubernetes without a dedicated platform group
- Organisations with EU data residency or cross-border obligations
- Businesses whose cloud bill is rising faster than their workloads
The problem
Why cloud estates drift
Most cloud problems are operating-model problems. These are the ones we find in almost every estate we take over.
02
Production has drifted from the code
Manual portal changes accumulate until Terraform or Bicep no longer describes reality. Environments stop being reproducible, and disaster recovery becomes a hope.
03
Security posture is unknown between audits
Misconfigurations — public storage, over-broad roles, unencrypted volumes — are found by an assessment twice a year instead of continuously.
04
Kubernetes was adopted without an operator
Clusters run, upgrades do not. Version support windows lapse, resource requests are guesswork, and one team becomes an accidental platform group.
05
Data location was never decided, only defaulted
Telemetry, backups or managed services quietly route outside the intended region, which turns into a transfer question the day someone asks it formally.
Our approach
How Evolvice helps
We take the estate as it is, document it honestly, then move it towards an operating model where changes go through code, cost has an owner, and security posture is continuously measured. Reliability targets and cost targets are set with you before the work starts, and monthly reporting shows movement against both.
- Estate assessment with tag coverage, drift report and unit-cost baseline
- Guardrails as code: policy, region allow-lists, budget alerts, review workflow
- Infrastructure as code as the only path to production change
- Continuous posture management instead of periodic assessment
- Observability with service-level objectives, not just resource metrics
- Deliberate residency design for EU and cross-border workloads
Service explorer
Capability architecture
Nine services across four capability areas — from getting into the cloud properly to running it under control.
Getting there and staying there: migration planning and execution, then day-two operations on Azure and AWS.
How it works
The platform operating model
A repeatable engagement we run for every estate we adopt, whether we migrated it or inherited it.
Assessment
Inventory, tag coverage, IaC drift, security findings, residency map and a unit-cost baseline per workload.
Onboarding
Access model, guardrails as code, pipeline and review workflow, alert routing and agreed reliability and cost targets.
Monitoring
Observability across platform and workloads with service-level objectives and alerting tuned against real incident history.
Operations and support
Day-to-day changes, patching, upgrades and incident handling against agreed response targets.
Optimisation
Right-sizing, commitment planning, architecture improvements and remediation of the highest-risk security findings.
Reporting
Monthly review of availability against SLO, spend against target, open posture findings and next-quarter platform work.
What changes when we manage it
What changes
The difference between a cloud estate that is used and one that is operated.
Controlled, attributable spend
Every euro maps to a workload with an owner, and forecasts stop being guesses.
Better infrastructure visibility
Service-level objectives and real observability replace resource dashboards nobody reads.
Reduced operational risk
Reproducible environments and tested recovery remove the single points of failure that drift creates.
Stronger security posture
Misconfigurations are caught continuously instead of during the next assessment.
Faster, safer change
Code-based change with review makes infrastructure work routine rather than risky.
Compliance readiness
Residency decisions and control evidence are documented as you go, so reviews stop being projects.
Security & compliance
Security, residency and compliance
Cloud architecture is where residency, security and compliance decisions become concrete. We design region placement, encryption, identity and logging so the answers exist before the question is asked — and so evidence can be produced without a project.
- Region and residency design for EU workloads, including backups and telemetry
- Identity and privileged-access model with logged administrative actions
- Encryption at rest and in transit with documented key handling
- Continuous posture management mapped to ISO 27001 control areas
- Audit evidence collected as part of operations, not before an audit
Why Evolvice
Why Evolvice
Reasons specific to cloud work, all of them supported elsewhere on this site.
German company, Stuttgart HQ
Data-protection questions are answered in a German legal context, by people who live with the same regulation you do.
Cross-border delivery experience
With engineering in Cairo and a presence in Riyadh, we run estates that span the EU and the Gulf under one governance model.
Engineering depth, not resale
We build the automation ourselves. Terraform modules, pipelines and guardrails are written for your estate and handed over as code you own.
ISO 27001-aligned delivery
Access control, change control and evidence collection follow ISO 27001 practice throughout the operation.
One team across layers
The same organisation runs your infrastructure, applications and end-user IT, which removes the finger-pointing that comes with three vendors.
