What does an AWS consultant do?

An AWS consultant helps review, improve, design, and support AWS environments. This can include architecture, cost optimisation, security, migration, DevOps, monitoring, resilience, and operational support.

Do we need managed services or just AWS consulting?

If you need ongoing operational ownership, managed services may be useful. If you need senior advice, a review, project support, cost optimisation, or extra AWS capacity, consulting may be a better fit.

Can IG CloudOps help if we already have an internal team?

Yes. Many clients have internal engineers but need extra AWS depth, a second opinion, or delivery support for specific improvements.

Can you help with urgent AWS issues?

Yes. Use the same-week AWS support slot CTA for urgent investigations, fixes, backlog items, or technical blockers.

Is this suitable for SaaS companies?

Yes. SaaS platforms often need AWS support across cost, uptime, deployment speed, security, scaling, and customer-facing resilience.

Can you help reduce AWS costs?

Yes. AWS cost optimisation can include rightsizing, tagging, reserved capacity reviews, storage clean-up, usage analysis, architecture changes, and better financial visibility.

Do you only advise, or can you implement changes?

IG CloudOps can advise, support your internal team, or deliver approved improvements directly.

The problem

AWS gets expensive and complex when ownership becomes unclear

AWS gives teams huge flexibility, but that flexibility can create problems when environments grow quickly. A SaaS platform may start with a simple setup, then gradually add new accounts, regions, services, databases, networking rules, pipelines, third-party tools, monitoring dashboards, and security controls.

Over time, the original architecture can become harder to understand. Costs rise. Deployments slow down. Engineers become cautious. Security gaps appear. Monitoring becomes noisy or incomplete. Senior people spend too much time checking infrastructure instead of building product.

Common AWS problems

•Unexpected AWS cost increases
•Poor visibility across accounts
•Fragile deployment pipelines
•Over-reliance on one engineer
•No clear backup or recovery plan
•Weak monitoring and alerting
•Manual infrastructure changes
•Inconsistent tagging and governance
•Messy IAM and security groups
•No clear architecture documentation
•No simple roadmap for improvement

Process

How the AWS consulting process works

Scope the issue

We understand your AWS environment, business context, risk areas, and what you need to achieve.

Review the environment

We assess architecture, cost, security, monitoring, deployment, resilience and operational maturity.

Prioritise improvements

We separate urgent risks from useful improvements so your team knows what to fix first.

Support delivery

We can advise, support your internal team, or deliver improvements directly.

Case study

Helping a SaaS team regain control of AWS cost, resilience and delivery

A growing UK SaaS company using AWS to host customer-facing applications, databases, background services and development environments. The team had grown quickly. AWS costs had increased, deployments had become fragile, monitoring was inconsistent, and the CTO had limited time to review infrastructure decisions.

IG CloudOps carried out an AWS architecture review covering accounts, networking, compute, storage, databases, monitoring, security, backups, CI/CD, cost controls and operational risks — producing a prioritised roadmap split across immediate fixes, cost optimisation, resilience, DevOps automation, security/governance and longer-term architecture changes.
