We're a DevOps Accelerator
We help companies own their infrastructure in record time by building it together with your team and then showing them the ropes. We stick around for as long as it takes to see you succeed.
Our SweetOps™ process eliminates the guesswork so you get everything you need for a successful cloud migration from the bottom up. Whether it's supporting the development and creation of software for high-intensity data processing or implementing the BeyondCorp security model from top-to-bottom, SweetOps™ has you covered. We've invested years to refine our methodology and develop the largest collection Open Source terraform modules (over 130 modules!) so you don't have to waste any time getting started.
Let us help you.
We are a team of seasoned DevOps experts that specialize in rapid cloud migrations on AWS using Kubernetes. We get this stuff. Our reference architectures contain everything your business needs to operate efficiently and reliably. Everything is fully defined with Infrastructure as Code and well-tested with automated tests. Getting started is easy. Take our quiz to book a discovery call. If we're a fit, we'll sign an NDA and get started collaborating on our Engagement Workbook to collect all your requirements.
How it Works
Phase 1: Foundational Infrastructure & Platform
We'll work with you to build out the solid AWS multi-account architecture including VPCs, Subnets, SCPs, SSO, IAM roles, DNS architecture, etc. We'll deliver a fully automated multi-stage kubernetes platform solution. Then we'll empower teams to efficiently collaborate on infrastructure in a transparent and secure manner.
Phase 3: Foundational Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
We'll enable you to operate a stable platform with operational visibility into performance, trends, and events
Phase 4: Foundational Security & Compliance
We'll rollout your Zero Trust Remote Access Management (BeyondCorp) strategy. We'll enable fully audited SSH access with session replay, Single Sign-on, and Multi-Factor Authentication
Let us help you with your cloud strategy. Our strategy for implementing local development environments is ideal for service-oriented architectures using docker-compose and can be leveraged for Continuous Integration testing as well. We have a comprehensive multi-account strategy for AWS that includes production, staging, dev/sandbox, identity, security/audit and testing accounts to ensure environments share nothing. We practice automated GitOps style rollouts for kubernetes and terraform. Our end-to-end release engineering strategy will set you up with "Unlimited Staging Environments" with continuous integrations and automated deployments to all environments. We've mastered site reliability engineering leveraging Datadog and OpsGenie, delivering monitoring as code so you never miss a beat.
What we do best.
Migrate from Heroku to Kubernetes
Migrate from Heroku to Kubernetes on AWS for maximum flexibility and increased security. Lockdown your databases, cut costs and streamline your application deployment pipeline with literally "Unlimited Staging Environments" for any feature branch or pull request. Enable your developers to operate at their fullest potential.
Migrate to Amazon Web Services
We'll help you move all of your services to the AWS cloud and deploy them on Kubernetes. Whether you're in AWS already or in a data center, we'll help you transition from a classically managed Chef/Puppet/Ansible/Salt Stack environment to a fully dockerized environment running on Kubernetes using Terraform and Helm.
Migrate to Kubernetes
We'll help you migrate from your legacy infrastructure to Kubernetes. You can run your entire stack to run on Kubernetes, complete with automated deployments, end-to-end application and infrastructure monitoring, and graphical dashboards. Everything is 100% Infrastructure as Code and deployed using GitOps style CI/CD pipelines.
Review Apps (aka Preview Apps)
We'll help you set up a release engineering strategy that supports spinning up new environments for any branch or pull request. Automatically notify QA teams when environments are online via Slack notifications as well as destroy environments when pull requests are merged or closed.

- Massive Community Adoption ensures our projects get regular updates and bug fixes.
“Rising tide floats all boats”
After working with so many startups over the years, it became very apparent that a lot of what tech companies need is repeatable. Also, figuring out how to get all the Open Source components working together was always a big challenge.
As consultants, we needed to find a way to consistently deliver the results our customers expect. Starting from scratch is simply not feasible if we want to scale our business.
Therefore we decided to use an Open Source business model whereby all reusable pieces of infrastructure code are released on our GitHub under the permissive Apache 2 software license. This ensures that we can continue to iterate on everything we develop for our customers. Everyone wins.
Cloud Posse does offer documentation as part of the engagements but the audience is for experienced developers, so if different documentation is required, these can be created upon request.
The short answer is “no”. As a DevOps Accelerator, one of the missions is to empower our customers to take over everything once we’re done. However, we don't expect this to happen overnight, so we'll stick around as long as you need our help.
We provide entirely optional ongoing support for customers who've gone through our DevOps Accelerator.
By in large, most of our customers take over the day to day management of their infrastructure.
We're here though to help out anywhere you need it.
We do not provide 24×7 “on-call” (aka PagerDuty) support.
We'll deliver the end-to-end solution you've seen in all of our demos. It will be preconfigured for your environments under your AWS accounts. We'll create new GitHub repos that will contain all the infrastructure code you need.
Along the way, we'll show you the ropes and how to operate it. In the long run, you'll be responsible for operating it but we'll stick around for as long as you need our help.
We offer all of our customers’ ongoing support for as long as they need it. Choose what's right for you.
- We provide free weekly support via our “Office Hours” webinars every Wednesday at 11:30 am PST. These calls last one hour and we'll answer as many of your questions as we can.
- We also provide optional support retainers which include a fixed block of hours that go towards maintenance and support. You'll have direct access to our team via a shared Slack channel in addition to the ability to schedule one-on-one calls via Zoom.
All services are rendered on a remote basis. On a case by case basis, we can arrange occasional on-site meetings and handoffs.
Unfortunately, we're not able to take on small engagements. You can, however, join us every single week for 100% free “Office Hours”—where we seek to answer your questions. Just register for an invitation.
We hold our “Office Hours” every Wednesday at 11:30 am PT via Zoom. We're typically 30+ people on the call and all skill levels are welcome.
