Cloud Transformation
A structured, end-to-end cloud adoption programme spanning assessment, landing-zone design, migration, modernisation, and managed operations — delivered across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure as a single accountable engagement rather than separate vendor relationships.
Overview
Clevertek Cloud Transformation provides a complete lifecycle from strategy definition through steady-state operations. We begin with estate discovery and dependency mapping, building a TCO model that compares right-sized target architectures across clouds for each workload category. Landing zones with guardrails — network segmentation, identity federation, cost budgets, compliance policies — are provisioned as IaC templates before any workload moves. Migration proceeds per workload using an assessed strategy: rehost (lift-and-shift) for stable legacy services, replatform (lift-tinker-and-shift) for services that benefit from managed database or container services, and refactor for applications where cloud-native architecture unlocks clear TCO or velocity gains. Post-migration, we operate the running cloud estate as a 24x7 managed service — monitoring, incident response, cost optimisation with real FinOps reporting, and continuous IaC-based environment management. Delivery spans AWS (migration, Well-Architected reviews, AI/ML), Google Cloud (GKE, data and analytics platforms), and Microsoft Azure (landing zones, M365 integration) from one team. You receive one architecture, one migration plan, and one operational support relationship rather than engaging separate cloud practices per provider. FinOps discipline is built into every phase — right-sizing at design time, continuous cost optimisation, and per-workload cost allocation — so the cloud bill remains a governed line item rather than a quarterly discovery.
Capabilities
What's included as part of this solution.
Cloud Strategy & Assessment
Systematic discovery of your existing estate — application inventory, inter-service dependency mapping, resource utilisation baselines — producing a TCO model and right-cloud recommendation per workload. The resulting business case is structured for finance review, with cost assumptions and migration sizing visible rather than opaque.
- Estate discovery with automated dependency mapping and utilisation analysis
- TCO modelling with T-shirt sizing for each migration wave
- Right-cloud / right-service architecture recommendations per workload
Migration & Modernization
Workload migration using the assessed strategy per application: rehost for stable services, replatform for managed-service uplift, or refactor for cloud-native benefits. Landing zones with guardrails (IAM, networking, cost boundaries) are provisioned before migration begins, and cutover runbooks are documented and validated so go-live is a checklist-driven procedure rather than an uncontrolled event.
- IaC-defined landing zones with built-in security and cost guardrails
- Per-workload migration strategy — rehost, replatform, or refactor
- Validated cutover and rollback runbooks for each migration wave
Managed Cloud Operations
24x7 monitoring, incident management, cost optimisation, and IaC-driven environment management after migration completion. Your application team owns the business logic and release cadence; we own the cloud infrastructure, the pager, and the cost governance. FinOps reporting provides per-workload and per-team cost visibility.
- Proactive monitoring with automated incident triage and escalation
- Continuous cost optimisation with FinOps dashboards and budget alerts
- IaC pipeline management for repeatable, auditable environment changes
Hyperscaler Expertise
Multi-cloud delivery from a single partner spanning AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure — each provisioned according to its native architecture patterns rather than an abstracted generic approach. AWS migrations and Well-Architected Framework reviews, GCP GKE and data platform deployments, Azure landing zones and M365 integration are delivered by a team that operates across all three.
- AWS: migration programmes, Well-Architected reviews, and AI/ML services
- GCP: Kubernetes (GKE), data and analytics, and AI Platform
- Azure: landing zones, PaaS services, and Microsoft 365 integration
Where it's used
Real-world scenarios where this solution delivers measurable outcomes.
Data-center exit with a number attached
Migrate workloads off colocation or owned hardware into a managed multi-cloud footprint, supported by a TCO case that quantifies savings with timeline and confidence ranges — not a slide deck asserting that 'cloud is cheaper.' The CFO receives a financial model with testable assumptions rather than an article of faith.
Cloud cost control that sticks
Right-size and govern cloud spend with continuous FinOps optimisation — rightsizing, reserved-instance commitment, and automated budget enforcement. The cloud bill at month six reflects the cost projections established at migration time rather than a number that nobody in the business can explain.
One partner from strategy to steady state
Assessment, migration, modernisation, and 24x7 operations delivered under a single SLA. Your application team owns the product and its business logic; we own the cloud infrastructure and the operational pager, with no hand-off gap where accountability falls between vendors.
Frequently asked questions
Do you lock us to one cloud?
No. We are hyperscaler-neutral by design. Architecture recommendations target the optimal cloud per workload — including genuinely beneficial multi-cloud topologies — rather than being driven by a single vendor partnership or discount structure.
Who runs the cloud after migration?
We do. Managed cloud operations provide 24x7 monitoring, incident response, cost governance, and IaC-driven change management. Your team owns the application and its feature roadmap; we own the infrastructure and the operational pager.
How do you stop the cloud bill running away?
FinOps discipline is applied from day one: right-sizing at design time, continuous cost optimisation with automated rightsizing recommendations, and per-workload cost allocation dashboards. Spend is a governed and visible decision rather than a post-invoice discovery.
Do you just lift-and-shift, or do you modernise?
Both, chosen per workload based on assessed business value and technical feasibility. We rehost where the application is stable and the migration risk is low; we replatform or refactor where managed services or cloud-native architecture deliver measurable TCO or velocity improvements.
Can you work inside my compliance and data-residency needs?
Yes. Delivery is aligned to Indian enterprise compliance frameworks and data-residency expectations. Landing zones are designed with the guardrails your regulators and auditors require included at provision time rather than retrofitted after a compliance finding.
Why choose Clevertek for Cloud Transformation
One accountable partner for end-to-end solutions — here is what buying from us actually gets you.
One accountable partner
Strategy, migration, and operations delivered under a single SLA with a single point of escalation — no vendor hand-off gaps during the most critical phase of your cloud journey.
Hyperscaler-neutral
Workload placement recommendations are based on technical and economic fit per application, not on a single cloud vendor partnership. The right cloud per workload, as assessed by data rather than relationship.
Cost discipline built in
FinOps controls operate from day one — right-sizing at design, continuous optimisation, and per-workload cost allocation — so the cloud budget remains predictable as the estate scales.
India context
Delivery and managed operations aligned to Indian enterprise compliance requirements, data-residency expectations, and support-hour realities.
