Cloud Foundation & Automation

Build the cloud platform your teams can operate, not another environment they have to untangle. Hypershift designs and implements secure, automated cloud foundations across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud. From landing zones and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to resilience, security, observability, and knowledge transfer, we turn cloud architecture into a repeatable operating model.

Outcomes

A governed foundation, by design

Consistent

Standards applied across accounts, subscriptions, projects, and regions.

Automated

Version-controlled infrastructure delivered through tested pipelines.

Resilient

Availability, failover, and recovery designed to keep critical workloads running.

Governed

Security, cost, identity, and operations built into the platform.

The challenge

Cloud growth without cloud drift

Cloud environments rarely become difficult overnight. They become difficult one exception at a time: inconsistent naming, broad permissions, manual deployments, disconnected monitoring, undocumented dependencies, and resources that no longer fit the architecture. Hypershift helps organizations replace that drift with a governed foundation and reusable engineering patterns. We assess what exists, define the target state, automate deployment, strengthen resilience and security, and leave your team with the documentation and skills to keep improving it.

What we deliver

A complete cloud engineering foundation

01 / Establish

Landing Zones & Cloud Governance

Create the account, subscription, or project structure that gives teams room to move without losing control. Includes current-state architecture review, organization and hierarchy design, identity and privileged access, network topology and connectivity, policy, tagging, naming, and guardrails, and cost allocation and FinOps foundations.

02 / Automate

Infrastructure as Code & DevOps

Turn cloud architecture into reusable, versioned modules that can be tested, reviewed, and deployed consistently. Includes Terraform, Bicep, and CloudFormation, repository and module architecture, CI/CD pipelines and approvals, linting, security scanning, and tests, secrets and service identity design, and module registries and versioning.

03 / Strengthen

Reliability & Recovery Engineering

Design availability and recovery around the workloads that matter most, not a one-size-fits-all pattern. Includes multi-zone and multi-region patterns, traffic management and failover, data, key, and storage resilience, backup and recovery architecture, scaling and performance policies, and failover testing and runbooks.

04 / Protect

Security & Observability

Make posture, performance, and risk visible, and build response into the platform. Includes cloud security posture assessment, network and workload controls, encryption and key management, central logging and telemetry, dashboards, alerts, and escalation, and a vulnerability remediation roadmap.

05 / Modernize

Migration, Standardization & Handoff

Move workloads into the foundation, standardize what already exists, and equip your team to operate the new model. Includes workload and dependency assessment, migration sequencing and cutover plans, resource refactoring and standardization, operational documentation and diagrams, administrator training and working sessions, and post-implementation review with an optimization backlog.

How we engage

Assess. Architect. Automate. Validate. Transfer.

Assess

Review architecture, inventory, deployment practices, security, reliability, monitoring, and cost.

Architect

Define the target state, standards, decisions, dependencies, and phased implementation plan.

Automate

Build modules, repositories, pipelines, policies, and reusable deployment patterns.

Validate

Test security, deployment, failover, monitoring, recovery, and operational readiness.

Transfer

Document the platform, train the team, review outcomes, and establish the optimization backlog.

Framework-led delivery

Every engagement is scoped to the environment, but our bias is toward implementation-ready artifacts and production outcomes with measurable milestones.

Typical deliverables

Working assets, not just advice

Cloud architecture package

Current state, target state, landing zone, connectivity, and decision records.

Infrastructure as Code library

Reusable modules, standards, tests, versioning, and usage documentation.

Automated delivery pipelines

Build, validation, security review, approval, and deployment workflows.

Resilience and recovery design

Availability patterns, failover procedures, recovery tests, and runbooks.

Security and observability baseline

Findings, remediation, logging, dashboards, alerts, and escalation paths.

Knowledge transfer package

Configuration guides, operational procedures, training, and optimization plan.

FAQ

Common questions

Do we have to replace our existing tools?

Not necessarily. The first question is whether what you already own is configured, integrated, and operated effectively. Recommendations often involve process changes or better use of existing investments before any new purchase.

Can an engagement focus on our existing environment?

Yes. We can focus on an existing architecture, deployment process, cost concern, or recovery requirement without starting a new migration or replacement program.

Can you work alongside our internal team?

Yes. We can contribute specialist design, troubleshooting, or implementation capacity while your team keeps operational ownership. The division of work is agreed during scoping.

How is consulting different from a managed service?

Consulting focuses on decisions, assessments, and scoped projects. Implementation and ongoing management are separate, optional engagements. An assessment does not automatically include deployment or a managed service subscription.

Do we have to commit to a long program to get started?

No. Most work begins with the specific question or constraint in front of you. A focused engagement can address one workload, one system, or one decision, and broader programs can follow if they earn their place.

What do we actually receive?

Deliverables are scoped to the engagement and can include an assessment, prioritized recommendations, architecture or design documents, and an implementation roadmap, each with clear owners and next steps.

Where does an engagement start?

With your priorities and the resources you already have. We shape the scope around the decisions you need to make and the work you need completed.
