Services · BUILD
Ship faster, with fewer surprises in production.
We bring senior DevOps practitioners to your team to close expertise gaps, untangle delivery bottlenecks, and turn release day into a non-event.
How we deliver this: AI handles the routine analysis (audits, IaC drafts, runbook scaffolds, alert triage). A senior engineer reviews every change before it touches your production. Consultancy speed at consultancy quality.

Slow, painful releases
Long manual checklists, all-hands deploys, and frequent rollbacks signal a pipeline that needs rethinking — not just more tooling.
Drift between environments
When staging and production behave differently, every bug becomes a guessing game. Infrastructure-as-code and parity audits fix the root cause.
Bottlenecked on a few engineers
If only two people can deploy or debug production, your delivery is fragile. We build the runbooks, automation, and shared knowledge that scale a team.
How it works
-
Phase 01
Discovery
Two-week deep dive — interviews, repo walk-throughs, pipeline traces. We document where time and risk actually live in your delivery flow.
-
Phase 02
Analysis
We map the current state against industry baselines (DORA, SLSA, Well-Architected) and produce a prioritized gap list scored by effort and impact.
-
Phase 03
Roadmap
A 90-day plan with concrete milestones — not a slide deck. Each item includes owner, success metric, and rollout sequence.
-
Phase 04
Hands-on enablement
We pair with your engineers to land the first wave of changes, then transfer ownership through documentation and recorded walk-throughs.
What you get
- → Current-state assessment document with annotated architecture diagrams
- → Prioritized roadmap with effort estimates
- → Reference CI/CD pipeline templates for your stack
- → Runbook templates and on-call onboarding guide
- → Recorded enablement sessions for your team library
What changes for you
Faster lead time for changes
Most clients see a 2–4× reduction in time-from-commit-to-production within the first quarter.
Fewer rollbacks
Pre-production parity, automated checks, and progressive delivery mean rollbacks become rare events worth investigating, not weekly fire drills.
Cost-aware automation
We build pipelines that take cloud spend seriously — preview environments expire, build minutes are budgeted, and waste is visible.
Security woven in, not bolted on
SAST, dependency scanning, secrets detection, and SBOM generation become native to the pipeline, not a quarterly audit panic.
Knowledge that stays
Every change comes with documentation. When the consultant leaves, the capability stays.
Team morale
Engineers stop dreading release day. That alone is worth the engagement.
What clients say
"CloudWizz rebuilt our delivery pipeline in eight weeks. Deploys went from a Friday-night ritual to a non-event we ship four times a day."

"They turned a CFO emergency into a board-ready story in 12 weeks. The dashboards alone changed how engineering thinks about cost."

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical DevOps engagement run? +
Most engagements are 8–16 weeks, scaled to your team size and the scope of changes. We start with a two-week paid discovery so both sides can scope accurately before committing.
Do you replace our team or augment them? +
We augment. Our goal is for your team to own the practice when we leave. We pair, document, and hand off — we don't build dependencies.
What stacks do you work with? +
AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Argo CD, and the common observability stack (Datadog, Grafana, New Relic). If your stack isn't on this list, ask.
Can you work with regulated industries? +
Yes — we have shipped DevOps practice for fintech (PCI/SOC2), healthcare (HIPAA), and energy clients. Compliance constraints inform the roadmap from day one.
How do you measure success? +
We agree on 3–5 metrics during discovery — typically including DORA's four key metrics (lead time, deploy frequency, change failure rate, MTTR) plus a business outcome relevant to you.
What does pricing look like? +
Discovery is fixed-fee. The implementation phase is typically time-and-materials with a not-to-exceed cap, billed weekly. We share rate cards on request.
Do you offer ongoing support after the engagement? +
Yes — clients often retain us for one or two days a week of advisory after the main engagement to keep momentum.
Can you help with a specific tool migration? +
Yes. Common migrations: Jenkins → GitHub Actions, ECS → EKS, on-prem → cloud, monolithic pipelines → trunk-based delivery. We scope these as fixed-fee projects.
What does week one look like? +
A kickoff workshop, repo and infrastructure access setup, an architecture walk-through, and the first round of stakeholder interviews. By Friday you have a working draft of the discovery scope.
Do we need to be on the cloud? +
No. We work with hybrid and on-prem environments — the principles are the same, the toolset varies.
