Cloud infrastructure assessments

Know what to fix.
Understand why.

We’ll look at your infrastructure, talk with your engineers, and help you work out what needs attention. Every assessment is built around the decisions you need to make—not a standard checklist.

Book a free assessment consultation

Free initial conversation. $24,000 USD for the assessment, including recommendations, future-state architecture, a migration plan, and four weeks of follow-up within scope.

See what’s included

When you need more than another opinion.

You’ve inherited an environment nobody has fully documented. A migration is on the table. Security questions are getting harder to answer. Or shipping software keeps getting tangled up in infrastructure work.

Before choosing a tool or committing to a rebuild, establish what is there, where the risks are, and which changes are worth making.

The work product

Findings you can trace. Recommendations you can use.

The questions are yours. We tailor the focus and technical depth to your goals, then connect the findings to recommendations, a future-state architecture, and a migration plan.

01Executive summary
Business impact, the most important risks, recommended first actions, and decisions for leadership.
02Current-state inventory & diagrams
A documented view of your workloads, cloud services, dependencies, and architecture.
03Findings & risks
The evidence behind our findings, the risks that matter, and what we could not verify.
04Prioritized recommendations
A sequenced treatment path: immediate concerns, foundational improvements, and longer-term work.
05Future-state solution architecture
Your proposed architecture, with diagrams, design decisions, assumptions, and dependencies.
06Phased migration plan
A practical implementation outline with sequencing and effort estimates. Use it with your team, Cloud Posse, or another partner.

How we work

A clear process. An assessment built around you.

First, we agree on the questions to answer, the systems in scope, and access. Then we combine conversations with your team, documentation, configuration evidence, and technical review.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Start with your goals. Agree on the questions, focus areas, constraints, and what a useful outcome looks like.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    Talk with your team and review the systems in scope. Establish what works, what needs attention, and what we can verify.

  3. 03

    Recommendations

    Explain what to change, what to keep, and why. Prioritize the work and make the tradeoffs clear.

  4. 04

    Solution architecture

    Design a future-state architecture around your goals, with diagrams, dependencies, and the reasoning behind the choices.

  5. 05

    Migration plan

    Lay out a phased path from where you are to where you want to be, with sequencing, dependencies, and effort estimates.

  6. 06

    Questions & iteration

    Spend four weeks after delivery asking questions and working through clarifications and reasonable refinements within the agreed scope.

We target delivery about two weeks after kickoff, subject to timely access and your team’s availability. Architecture and migration planning are included. Implementation is a separate engagement.

We’ll focus on what you need help with

Review the areas that matter to your next decision.

  • Cloud architecture & dependencies
  • Security & access controls
  • Terraform & infrastructure as code
  • CI/CD & deployment readiness
  • Reliability & operational ownership
  • Compliance readiness gaps

Not every assessment covers every area. We document the evidence available, the review boundaries, and anything we cannot verify. This is not a penetration test or a formal compliance attestation.

Start with a conversation

What do you need to understand about your infrastructure?

Tell us what is prompting the review and what decisions you need to make. We’ll work out whether an assessment fits—and what it should cover.
