Build new
Design and build an AWS platform around the workload, operating and governance requirements from the start.
KineticSkunk designs and builds new AWS platforms, stabilises and improves existing AWS estates, supports migration and modernisation, and operates agreed AWS platform responsibilities through a managed operating model.

Partner status matters because customers need to know the platform engineering work is backed by current AWS capability. The badges and programme validations below give technical and procurement teams concrete partner evidence to review alongside our AWS delivery work.

Validated AWS partnership for teams that need credible cloud delivery and accountable support.

Recognised AWS services depth for customers who need more than cloud promises.

Specialised delivery capability for containerised workloads that must scale cleanly and operate reliably.

AWS-recognised alignment for environments with stronger governance, diligence, and procurement expectations.

AWS-recognised Well-Architected expertise for teams that need architecture reviews, risk prioritisation, and improvement paths stakeholders can follow.
Each starting point leads into the delivery model and can connect to AWS Managed Platform Operations when ongoing responsibility is required.
Design and build an AWS platform around the workload, operating and governance requirements from the start.
Assess the current estate, clarify responsibility and move the agreed platform scope toward managed operations.
Move workloads or change the architecture where the current environment cannot support the required target state.
Run the agreed AWS platform scope through an operating rhythm covering the capabilities included in the support model.
We turn AWS depth into a managed operating model: clear foundations, secure access, recovery evidence, observability, automation, and continuous improvement.
Landing zones, accounts, environments, access, networking, and governance shaped around how your business operates.
Identity-first access, monitoring, threat detection, segmentation, logging, and audit-ready controls.
Policy-driven backup, restore testing, retention, reporting, and recovery evidence.
Monitoring, release support, cost visibility, incident response, optimisation, and stakeholder reporting.
Start with the platform outcome required now. Each solution can stand alone where appropriate and connect to AWS Managed Platform Operations when ongoing responsibility is required.
Managed AWS operating foundation for production workloads, scaling, releases, monitoring, and accountability.
Start with a structured view of your AWS environment so you know where risk lives, what to fix first, and how to explain it under pressure.
Practical AWS cost allocation, forecasting, optimisation, commitment review, and managed FinOps for teams that need clearer cloud value and accountability.
Practical migration path with landing zone foundations, workload movement, security baseline, recovery posture, and managed operations from day one.
Centralised backup, restore testing, and recovery evidence your team can explain before audits or incidents.
Engineer and operate MariaDB database platforms as part of the AWS environment.
Identity-first controls, access governance, segmentation, and audit-ready evidence for regulated growth.
A structured assessment of the architecture, data, security, evaluation, reliability, observability, cost, and ownership an AI workload needs for production.
Whether we are stabilising an existing estate or building a new AWS foundation, the work is structured around clarity, control, and evidence your team can use after handover.
Existing AWS environment
Make the gaps visible, then move into managed operations with evidence at every step.
Map accounts, workloads, ECS and EKS clusters, RDS, Lambda, networking, identity, backup posture, and how operations are owned today.
Known platform surface
Separate what should move into managed platform operations, migration, recovery, zero trust, or automation before changing what already runs.
Prioritised remediation
Sequence Well-Architected findings, security signals, recovery gaps, and cost pressure into a plan leadership can approve.
Clear priorities
Align ECS, EKS, RDS, Lambda, Backup, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config, and CloudWatch to operating needs with ownership visible.
Reviewable operations
Transition into AWS Managed Platform delivery with cost, reliability, access, release support, and improvement signals visible.
Managed platform
New AWS build
Design the platform around how your business operates, then deploy workloads on a foundation you can defend.
Define workload fit across ECS, EKS, RDS, Lambda, accounts, network boundaries, identity, data services, and release model.
Controlled design
Provision runtime, access, secrets, observability, backup, and deployment foundations with repeatability.
Ready foundation
Launch or migrate applications with clear environment boundaries, promotion rules, and support checks.
Release control
Connect access reviews, backup expectations, monitoring, and incident routines to the live platform design.
Operational evidence
Run the AWS platform with cost, reliability, access, release support, and improvement signals visible.
Stable operations
Choose the path that matches where you are now, then follow it into the delivery model or a specialist solution.
Already on AWS? Take over and improve the platform.
Starting fresh? Design and build the platform deliberately.
Need to migrate? Design the destination before cutover.
KineticSkunk works well with teams that need AWS engineering to remain practical, reviewable and connected to a clear operating model. FinTech, HealthTech and other trust-sensitive environments often add stronger expectations around recovery, security, evidence and controlled change.
We understand the pressure created by audits, customer trust, enterprise onboarding, and operational scrutiny.
We shape the work around evidence your team can use with leadership, auditors, customers, and investors.
We do not just support tickets. We help create operating discipline, ownership, and repeatable platform practices.
We keep the path scoped, useful, and connected to the business outcome that matters next.
We do not position AWS services as isolated tools. We use them as platform building blocks for secure, recoverable, scalable operations.
Start with clarity, identify risk, and prioritise improvements before pressure exposes gaps.
Run containerised applications with clear scaling, deployment, monitoring, and operational ownership.
Bring structure to Kubernetes when your workloads need Kubernetes, without letting the platform become chaos.
Protect the relational data layer your business depends on, with recovery, monitoring, and operational control.
Enable event-driven automation, integrations, and lightweight workflows without unnecessary infrastructure overhead.
Centralise backup and recovery so protection is policy-driven, visible, and testable.
Bring visibility, threat detection, configuration tracking, and security evidence into everyday operations.
Turn platform telemetry into monitoring, alerting, operational insight, and performance visibility.
Real delivery stories showing how AWS supports release speed, data confidence, modernisation, and operational control.

How a telecoms team moved a public digital service to an AWS container platform with stronger deployment control, clearer operations, and room to grow.

How a fintech team used AWS ECS to simplify container operations, strengthen deployment control, and clarify hosting costs and platform ownership.

How a fintech team moved Kubernetes workloads from Azure to AWS, preserving skills and clarifying cluster behaviour, networking, scaling, and observability.

Advancing
Your AWS estate is modernising well. Landing zones and security have solid foundations, and migration is underway. The next step is to raise automation, resilience, and FinOps maturity so scale stays governed and cost-aware.
RESULTS BY COMPETENCY
This is a high-level self-check. A deeper, organisation-specific AWS review is the right next step before you act on these results.
Example only. Your result will reflect your actual AWS modernisation practices across all dimensions.
