Cloud Architecture Review: decide before transforming

A Cloud decision stalls because dependencies, risks or recovery requirements are not understood.

Compare options for a particular application or foundation without assuming a migration must take place.

Services

When to engage?

A foundation evolves through exceptions

Permissions and private-access gaps: the review identifies dependencies relevant to the decision without rebuilding the whole landing zone.

A migration lacks confirmed prerequisites

Applications, recovery and ownership remain uncertain; separate facts from assumptions before choosing a path.

Multi-cloud is proposed without trade-offs

Compare Azure, AWS and GCP options and their effects on security, resilience and operating workload.

A three-step engagement

  1. 01

    Frame the decision

    I scope the applications and service requirements with you, and identify decision makers and available diagrams.

  2. 02

    Test assumptions

    I compare configurations with reported behavior, then assess dependencies, recovery and operating costs without assuming a cutover.

  3. 03

    Present options

    I deliver trade-offs, risks and missing evidence; implementation requires a separate agreement.

What you receive

  • Decision dossierCompared options, assumptions and security, resilience and operating implications.
  • Shareable dependency mapComponents, access paths and ownership relevant to the decision at an agreed level of detail.
  • Path and readiness criteriaSteps, prerequisites and evidence needed before changing a foundation or migrating.

Scope and prerequisites

Scope and prerequisites. Selected applications and foundations, available diagrams and configurations, IAM, networking and operations owners; access is agreed during scoping.

Review boundaries. No foundation deployment, data migration or cutover test included. Preparing an actual pilot belongs to Landing Zone & Migration Ready.
