Service Overview

AWS Development Services: Architecture, Migration, Optimisation and Managed Support

Netofficials builds and manages AWS cloud environments for growth-stage and enterprise clients across the US, UK and Australia, covering greenfield architecture, workload migration, cost and security optimisation, and ongoing managed support — all delivered through infrastructure as code using Terraform and AWS CDK.

Engagements fall into four modes. Greenfield builds start from requirements and produce a documented, version-controlled AWS environment. Migration projects move existing workloads — whether on-premises servers, legacy VMs or another cloud provider — onto AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora. Optimisation reviews examine running environments for over-provisioned resources, weak IAM policies, missing AWS WAF rules and gaps in Amazon GuardDuty coverage. Managed support provides ongoing monitoring, patching and incident response after go-live.

Every engagement produces infrastructure code that the client owns outright at handover. There is no proprietary tooling lock-in. Terraform modules and AWS CDK stacks are written to be readable, testable and extendable by your own team. For teams that need container orchestration guidance alongside cloud infrastructure, Netofficials also covers Kubernetes and EKS container orchestration as part of the same engagement or as a standalone workstream.

What We Deliver

AWS Services and Deliverables Across Every Core Category

Compute: EC2, Lambda and Containers

Netofficials configures EC2 instances with right-sized instance types, auto-scaling groups and launch templates. For event-driven workloads, engineers write and deploy Lambda functions with appropriate memory and timeout settings. Container workloads run on Amazon ECS task definitions or Amazon EKS clusters, depending on orchestration complexity and team familiarity.

Storage: S3, EBS and EFS

Deliverables include S3 bucket architecture with versioning, lifecycle policies and cross-region replication where required. EBS volumes are provisioned and attached to EC2 workloads with snapshot schedules. EFS shared file systems are configured for workloads that need concurrent read/write access across multiple instances or containers.

Database: RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora and Redshift

Netofficials provisions Amazon RDS instances running MySQL or PostgreSQL, Aurora clusters for high-availability transactional workloads, and DynamoDB tables with appropriate partition key design and capacity modes. For analytics, Amazon Redshift data warehouses are configured with cluster sizing, distribution keys and query optimisation suited to reporting volume.

Networking: VPC, CloudFront and Load Balancing

Engineers design Amazon VPC architecture covering public and private subnets, route tables, NAT gateways and VPC peering. CloudFront distributions are configured for static and dynamic content delivery. Route 53 DNS records and Application Load Balancer listener rules are set up to route traffic correctly across environments and regions.

Security: IAM, KMS, WAF and GuardDuty

Netofficials writes least-privilege IAM roles and policies, manages encryption keys through AWS KMS, and configures AWS WAF rule sets to block common web threats. Amazon GuardDuty is enabled for continuous threat detection across accounts. These controls support compliance requirements in regulated industries and satisfy security review processes common in enterprise procurement.

DevOps Toolchain: CodePipeline, CodeBuild and ECR

CI/CD pipelines are built using AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild, with container images stored and versioned in Amazon ECR. All infrastructure is defined as code using Terraform or AWS CDK so that environments are reproducible and auditable. The full codebase is handed over to the client, with documentation covering pipeline structure, environment variables and deployment steps.

Our Process

How an AWS engagement runs from requirements to live monitoring

Scope and Requirements

Netofficials engineers meet with your CTO, DevOps lead or infrastructure manager to document workloads, compliance obligations, team structure and the current state of your AWS account. You receive a written scope summary covering compute, data, networking and security requirements before any architecture work begins.

Architecture Design

The team produces a documented AWS architecture diagram covering compute (EC2, Lambda, ECS or EKS), storage (S3, RDS, DynamoDB or Aurora), networking (VPC, CloudFront) and security layers (IAM, KMS, WAF, GuardDuty). Your stakeholders review and approve the design before provisioning starts.

Provision with IaC

Engineers write Terraform modules or AWS CDK stacks to provision every resource defined in the approved architecture. All code is peer-reviewed and committed to a version control repository that your team owns outright, giving you a fully auditable, reproducible record of your infrastructure.

Deploy, Test and Monitor

Workloads roll out through dev, staging and production environments via AWS CodePipeline with automated tests at each stage. CloudWatch dashboards, alarms and log groups are configured before go-live, and Netofficials hands over runbooks so your team can operate and extend the environment independently.

Who This Service Is For

Built for teams that run on AWS or plan to

CTOs and Engineering Leads Standardising on AWS

You have chosen AWS as your primary cloud platform but need consistent, auditable infrastructure across multiple environments rather than a collection of manually configured resources.

Netofficials provisions your AWS environments using Terraform or AWS CDK so every resource is version-controlled, repeatable and owned by your team from day one.

DevOps and Infrastructure Teams Needing IaC and CI/CD Discipline

Your team manages EC2, ECS or EKS workloads but deployment pipelines are inconsistent, infrastructure drift is accumulating and on-call burden is growing faster than headcount.

You get structured CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code coverage and monitoring across your AWS estate, reducing manual intervention and making environment changes traceable.

Product Teams Migrating to AWS or Moving Off Another Cloud

You are migrating from on-premise servers or a competing cloud provider and need a structured path to AWS that avoids downtime, data loss and security gaps during the transition.

Netofficials plans and executes the migration across compute, storage, database and networking layers, with security controls including AWS IAM, AWS WAF and Amazon GuardDuty in place before go-live.

FAQ

Questions about AWS development services

Do your engineers hold AWS certifications?

Buyers evaluating an AWS partner should look for engineers who hold current AWS certifications — such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified Developer, or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer — because these credentials confirm structured knowledge of service design, security, and operational best practices. Beyond certifications, ask to review code samples, Terraform or AWS CDK repositories, and architecture diagrams from past engagements. Practical delivery experience across services like Amazon EKS, Lambda, RDS, and GuardDuty is as important as the credential itself.

How do you manage and reduce AWS costs for our workloads?

Netofficials reduces AWS spend by addressing the most common cost drivers directly. This includes right-sizing EC2 instances based on actual CPU and memory utilisation, replacing On-Demand capacity with Reserved Instances or Spot Instances where workload patterns allow, enabling S3 Intelligent-Tiering for infrequently accessed objects, and identifying idle or unattached EBS volumes. AWS Cost Explorer and resource tagging policies give ongoing visibility so cost anomalies surface quickly. Learn more on our AWS cost and architecture consulting page.

Can you take over and improve our existing AWS environment?

Yes. Netofficials begins every environment takeover with a structured audit: account-level resource inventory, consistent tagging review, Cost Explorer analysis to identify waste, and a security posture check covering IAM policies, open security groups, and unencrypted data stores. The output is a prioritised remediation plan before any changes are made. Existing infrastructure is documented and, where appropriate, migrated into Terraform infrastructure as code so the environment becomes reproducible and auditable going forward.

When should we choose serverless Lambda over containers on ECS or EKS?

AWS Lambda suits event-driven, short-duration tasks — API callbacks, file processing triggers, scheduled jobs — where cold-start latency is acceptable and traffic is spiky or unpredictable. Amazon ECS or EKS fits long-running services, workloads with strict latency requirements, or teams already operating container pipelines who need fine-grained control over runtime and scaling behaviour. The right choice depends on task duration, concurrency patterns, cold-start tolerance, and your team's operational familiarity. See our Kubernetes and EKS container orchestration page for container-specific detail.

How do you handle AWS security, IAM policies and compliance requirements?

Security is applied at every layer. AWS IAM policies follow least-privilege principles — roles and permissions are scoped to the minimum required action and resource. Data at rest and in transit is encrypted using AWS KMS. AWS WAF rules protect public endpoints, Amazon GuardDuty provides continuous threat detection, and Amazon VPC security groups and NACLs control network-level access. For regulated industries, controls are mapped to relevant compliance frameworks during the architecture phase so audit evidence is built in from the start.

How is infrastructure managed and handed over — do we own the Terraform or CDK code?

All Terraform and AWS CDK code lives in client-owned version control repositories from the first commit. Netofficials writes, reviews, and maintains that code during the engagement, but ownership never transfers away from the client. At handover, the repository includes module documentation, variable definitions, and pipeline configuration so your internal team or any future partner can operate and extend the infrastructure without dependency on Netofficials. Full details on our delivery approach are on the How we work page.
