Cloud strategy and business case
Audit of infrastructure, workloads and business processes, cloud readiness report, feasibility study and a phased roadmap with cost projections aligned to regulatory obligations.
Cloud Strategy, Migration & Landing Zones
Vendor-neutral cloud strategy, zero-downtime migration and governed AWS, Azure and Google Cloud foundations delivered as code.
01 / Modernize & scale
Overview
A landing zone is the foundation every workload inherits. Cloudlit audits the existing estate, builds the business case, selects the platform without vendor bias, and then designs the account structure, network topology, identity model, guardrails and logging so the first production workload and the fiftieth follow the same controls. Migration runs in waves with no downtime, and cost discipline is built in from day one.
What Cloudlit delivers
Platform selection and target operating model
Vendor-neutral evaluation of AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, IaaS, PaaS and SaaS options, workload classification and the deployment model for each class of data.
Landing zone and account design
Organisation structure, environment separation, shared services, billing boundaries, tagging standards and policy inheritance across every account and subscription.
Network and private connectivity
Hub-and-spoke or transit designs, dedicated circuits and VPN to data centres, DNS, egress control and segmentation with no public path to internal services.
Identity, governance and guardrails
Federated identity with SSO and MFA, role design, service control policies, preventive controls and encryption with client-held keys.
Migration and modernisation
Per-component migration plans that minimise redevelopment, containerisation where it pays off, cut-over rehearsals and zero-downtime execution wave by wave.
Cost management and FinOps
Right-sizing, reserved capacity, automated shutdown of idle resources and daily and monthly reporting so spend stays visible and predictable.
Everything as code
Terraform modules, pipelines and documentation so the foundation is repeatable, reviewable and auditable.
Outcomes
- A governed foundation that new workloads can adopt in days, not months
- Preventive controls that reduce audit findings and configuration drift
- Clear cost boundaries and visibility from day one, with right-sizing programmes that have cut client run costs by 20–40%
- A migration path that respects data residency and classification
- Fault-tolerant architectures with tested recovery, not just a lift and shift
Why Cloudlit for this
Vendor-neutral by design
Delivery capability on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, so the platform is chosen for the workload and the regulator, not for a partner tier.
Regulated-workload experience
Landing zones for banks and government where residency, sovereignty and audit are entry requirements, not afterthoughts.
Migration without redevelopment
Customised plans for every component keep rework and migration expense to a minimum while apps stay online.
Cost discipline built in
Automation cancels unused services, adjusts sizes and reports monthly, so the cloud bill is engineered, not discovered.
How an engagement runs
- Discovery workshop, infrastructure audit and cloud readiness report
- Target architecture, control design and business case sign-off
- Landing zone build, validation and migration waves
- Optimisation, handover, runbooks and optional managed operations
Frequently asked questions
Which cloud platforms does Cloudlit design landing zones for?
Cloudlit delivers landing zones on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, and hybrid designs that connect cloud regions to client data centres through private connectivity. Platform selection is vendor-neutral and driven by workload, regulation and cost.
Can a landing zone support data residency requirements?
Yes. Region selection, network egress controls, encryption with client-held keys and classification-driven placement are designed into the foundation so regulated data stays where policy requires.
How much does a cloud migration cost?
It depends on the scale and complexity of the estate. Cloudlit accounts for one-time migration effort and ongoing infrastructure charges separately and gives transparent projections before any commitment, then tracks them through the engagement.
How does a landing zone engagement run?
Assess, design, build, operate and transfer. The foundation is designed with your architecture board and security team, provisioned as code, and handed over with documentation and training so your team can own it.
Bring us the Cloud Strategy problem that matters most.
Cloudlit brings architecture, platform engineering, security and operations together so enterprise teams can move from complexity to a controlled production environment.
