Two practices. Eight disciplines.

Each discipline is a stand-alone engagement with a published scope, named outcomes, and a domain-owning engineer accountable end-to-end. Pick one — or commission an arc that spans multiple. Every discipline carries the same standard of documentation, the same warranty, the same signature.

AWS Cloud

Architecture, migration, and the long operate.

AWS engagements designed to grow with the business and survive the audit. From greenfield landing zones to migrations spanning hundreds of workloads — every discipline is an answer to a specific class of problem.

New Build · AWS

Greenfield Infrastructure

Domain owner · senior engineer — single point of accountability

Starting fresh? We architect cloud environments from the ground up, designed with best practices baked in from day one. No technical debt, no shortcuts — clean, well-structured infrastructure built to grow with your business.

AWS Landing Zone and multi-account structure
Network topology: VPC design, Transit Gateway, CIDR strategy
Security baseline: IAM Identity Center, SCPs, GuardDuty
Well-Architected foundations across all six pillars
Full IaC implementation — Terraform or AWS CDK

Hybrid · Connectivity

Hybrid Environments

Domain owner · senior engineer — single point of accountability

For organizations that live between on-premises and the cloud, we design and manage hybrid architecture that bridges both worlds. Your legacy systems and your cloud workloads work in harmony — not in conflict.

AWS Direct Connect and Site-to-Site VPN design
Workload placement strategy — what stays on-premises and why
Hybrid identity: Active Directory integration with AWS IAM
Latency and performance assessment across the hybrid boundary
Disaster recovery design spanning both environments

Migration · AWS

Cloud Migration

Domain owner · senior engineer — single point of accountability

We guide organizations through the full migration journey — from assessment and planning to execution and optimization. Whether lifting and shifting or re-architecting entirely, the transition is smooth, secure, and minimally disruptive.

Application dependency mapping and migration wave planning
Migration strategy: rehost, replatform, or re-architect
Cutover execution with rollback procedure at every stage
Post-migration validation and performance baseline
Cost model comparison: pre- and post-migration spend

Multi-Cloud · Strategy

Multi-Cloud

Domain owner · senior engineer — single point of accountability

We help businesses harness the strengths of multiple cloud providers without chaos. Zynostack designs and manages multi-cloud strategies that eliminate vendor lock-in and maximize performance across your entire cloud estate.

Provider selection framework — matched to workload requirements
Cross-cloud networking and identity strategy
Unified observability across all providers
Cost management and visibility across the full estate
Portability design: avoid lock-in at the architecture layer

DevOps

The connective tissue between code and production.

Pipelines, containers, IaC, and configuration — operated as a discipline, not a side project. Every discipline is what we run for ourselves, lightly opinionated and built to be inherited.

Delivery · Automation

CI/CD Pipelines

Domain owner · senior engineer — single point of accountability

We design and implement continuous integration and delivery pipelines that accelerate release cycles while maintaining quality and control. Ship faster, break less, recover instantly.

Pipeline design: source → build → test → deploy with quality gates
AWS CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI — matched to your stack
Automated testing: unit, integration, and security scanning
Deployment strategies: blue/green, canary, rolling — with rollback
Metrics and observability for every stage of the pipeline

Scope this engagement →

Kubernetes · Docker

Containers & Orchestration

Domain owner · senior engineer — single point of accountability

From containerizing workloads to managing production-grade Kubernetes clusters, we bring order to complexity. Practical, operable, and built to last.

Container strategy: Docker image design, registry, and lifecycle
EKS cluster design: node groups, networking, autoscaling
Helm chart design and GitOps deployment with ArgoCD or Flux
Service mesh design for inter-service communication
Cluster hardening: RBAC, pod security standards, image scanning

Scope this engagement →

Terraform · CDK · IaC

Infrastructure as Code

Domain owner · senior engineer — single point of accountability

We treat infrastructure the same way great developers treat software — versioned, tested, and repeatable. Using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation, we eliminate manual provisioning and bring full lifecycle control to your environments.

Terraform module design: reusable, composable, environment-agnostic
State management: remote state, locking, and workspace strategy
IaC testing: policy-as-code with Sentinel or OPA
Drift detection and remediation pipeline
Migration of existing manual infrastructure into IaC — no disruption

Scope this engagement →

Ansible · Config Mgmt

Configuration as Code

Domain owner · senior engineer — single point of accountability

Consistency across environments is not optional in a mature engineering culture. Every server and service behaves exactly as intended — every time.

Ansible playbook design: idempotent, role-based, environment-aware
Configuration drift detection and automated remediation
Secrets management: AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault
OS hardening: CIS benchmark alignment, patch management
Configuration testing pipeline: Molecule or equivalent

Three shapes a brief can take

One discipline, or a longer arc.

Architecture Engagement

A 4–8 week design engagement that produces a complete reference architecture, IaC scaffolding, runbooks, and a costed migration plan. We design — your team builds, with us in the room.

Duration: 4–8 weeks
Output: Reference architecture · IaC seed · cost model
Best for: Greenfield · re-platforms

Build & Deploy Engagement

End-to-end execution: from architecture review through cutover. We lead the build, hand over fully documented, and operate alongside your team until you sign off.

Duration: 10–24 weeks
Output: Production environment · GitOps · handover dossier
Best for: Migrations · platform builds

Embedded Practice

A senior engineer joins your team for two to four days a week as a practice owner — cloud, DevOps, or both. Velocity without dilution of standards.

Duration: Quarterly contract
Output: Coached team · raised baseline · documented standards
Best for: Scale-ups · platform teams
