AWS Consulting Services
Your AWS platform deserves strategic advisors, not just builders
Most AWS consulting companies show up with a statement of work and a team of implementers. Redefine shows up with a cloud strategy, a fixed timeline, and a partner who shares accountability for the outcome.

Today's Friction
Where chief information officers feel the friction every quarter
Cloud bills keep climbing with no clear cause
Monthly spend grows 20 to 40 percent year-over-year with no workload-level attribution or actionable breakdown.
New features take weeks to reach production
Manual deployments, tightly coupled services, and no rollback safety net keep release velocity dangerously low.
Your current partner charges by the hour, not the outcome
Hourly billing creates misaligned incentives. Longer timelines equal more revenue for them, and more risk for you.
Security gaps surface during audits, not before
IAM policies, network exposure, and compliance posture are reactive afterthoughts rather than foundational design decisions.
Three Months From Now
How your team operates three months from now
FinOps dashboards with workload-level spend attribution
Every dollar mapped to a service, team, and business unit. Optimization recommendations run automatically each week.
Continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines ship features daily, not quarterly
Automated testing, rolling deployments, and zero-downtime releases mean your team ships confidently and often.
Fixed-scope engagements with milestone-based billing
Deliverables and pricing agreed upfront. No open-ended retainers. No surprises on the invoice.
Security and compliance built in from architecture day one
IAM least-privilege, VPC segmentation, and continuous compliance scanning are foundational, not an add-on sprint.

Consulting Solutions
Five ways Redefine moves your AWS platform forward
Cloud Migration and Modernization
Lift-and-shift, re-platform, or full re-architecture: scoped by your risk tolerance and business timeline. Monoliths become microservices. On-premise workloads move to managed AWS services with zero-downtime execution plans.
Lift and shiftRe-platformMicroservicesEKS containerization
Cost Optimization and FinOps
Right-size compute, eliminate idle resources, and implement Reserved Instance and Savings Plan strategies that cut your AWS bill by 20 to 40 percent.
DevOps and Continuous Delivery at Scale
CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, and ArgoCD integrations that let your team ship to production daily. Automated testing gates, rollback policies, and canary deployments protect every release.
- CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy
- GitHub Actions with OpenID Connect authentication
- Blue/green and canary deployments
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK)
Security and Compliance
IAM least-privilege, service control policies, Security Hub, GuardDuty, and continuous compliance scanning for SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements. Security is baked in, not bolted on.
Managed AWS Operations
After go-live, our managed AWS operations team monitors your environment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Patch cycles, capacity planning, incident response, and monthly architectural reviews included in a flat-rate service-level agreement.

Client Outcome
What AWS modernization actually delivers
Outcome
Zero
Downtime events since go-live
Zero-downtime rolling deployments eliminated production outages on a formerly fragile monolithic system.
Platform
SaaS and B2B Platform
A software-as-a-service and B2B platform required modernization of a legacy monolithic application to improve scalability, reliability, and deployment speed.
Challenge
The existing monolithic application caused slow release cycles, frequent outages, and limited scalability. Tightly coupled deployments made new features dangerous to ship.
Solution
Re-architected using microservices, containerized with Docker, and deployed on Kubernetes via AWS EKS. Automated delivery pipelines enabled automated testing and rolling updates with no service interruption.

Why Redefine
What separates advisory-first AWS consulting from the rest
01: Strategy Before Code
We write the strategy. You decide. Then we build.
Most enterprise AWS consulting services arrive with a team and a task list. Redefine arrives with a cloud strategy document, a target-state architecture, and a cost model before any sprint begins. You make the architectural decision. We execute it with full accountability for the outcome. Other implementation partners lead with labor; we lead with perspective.
02: Fixed Price, Defined Scope
No open retainers. No hourly billing surprises.
Every AWS consulting engagement is priced by deliverable, not by the hour. That means your statement of work includes specific architecture outputs, migration milestones, and acceptance criteria. When scope changes, we notify you in writing before a single additional hour is worked. View consulting pricing or request a scoped estimate for your current AWS situation.
03: Embedded Security, Not an Afterthought
Compliance controls are in the first sprint, not the last.
SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements do not appear in sprint 12. Our AWS consultants integrate IAM least-privilege policies, network segmentation, encryption at rest, and continuous compliance scanning from architecture day one. That approach prevents remediation work that typically consumes 30 percent of project budgets at other AWS consulting firms.

Common Questions
Questions chief information officers ask before signing
A reseller focuses on procurement and credits. An AWS consulting services partner focuses on architecture, implementation, and ongoing optimization. Redefine designs the infrastructure strategy, builds the cloud environment, and holds accountability for performance and cost outcomes, not just the AWS contract.
A focused migration engagement typically runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on workload complexity and data volume. Greenfield builds on AWS are often scoped at 3 to 6 weeks. Every engagement starts with a readiness assessment that produces a realistic timeline before any work begins.
Yes. Our managed AWS operations service includes monthly FinOps reviews, Reserved Instance and Savings Plan recommendations, rightsizing alerts, and idle resource cleanup. Clients on managed plans see cloud spend reduce 25 to 40 percent in the first 90 days post-migration through continuous optimization.
Our AWS consultants hold Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Professional, Security Specialty, and Database Specialty certifications. Each engagement is staffed with at least one certified architect and one senior DevOps engineer who have delivered comparable workloads before.
Embedded collaboration is our default delivery model. Your engineers learn while we build. Documentation, runbooks, and architecture decision records are written in parallel so your team is fully capable of operating the environment after handover. We size involvement around your team's availability, not ours.
Is This A Good Fit?
Know before you brief us
We deliver the most value in specific situations. Here is where our model works well, and where it may not.
Good fit for your organization
- You are on AWS and your cloud bill has grown 20 to 40 percent year-over-year without a clear explanation or workload-level attribution.
- Your team ships features weekly but each deployment carries real production risk. You need automated pipelines with rollback safety before the next release.
- A compliance audit (SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI) is on the horizon and your security posture was not designed with those requirements in mind.
- Your team can contribute 3 to 5 hours per week for architecture reviews and approvals. We handle the build, migration, and testing.
Not a fit if your situation matches these
- You need someone to manage AWS credits, procurement, or reseller agreements rather than architecture and implementation.
- Your cloud architecture is not yet in AWS. We specialize in AWS environments, not multi-cloud strategy across platforms you have not chosen yet.
- Your budget requires hourly billing flexibility and you cannot commit to fixed deliverable milestones before the project begins.
- There is no internal stakeholder with authority to approve architecture decisions and provide access to your AWS account environment.
Not sure? Tell us your situation and we will be straight with you.
