Whether you already run AWS, need a new platform or are planning significant change, our Cloud Platform Engineers establish the platform and operating model, then take ongoing responsibility for the agreed scope.
We can take over what already runs, build what does not yet exist, or change the platform before moving it into managed operations.
Understand the estate, agree the responsibility boundary, address priority gaps and move the agreed scope into managed operations.
Design and build the AWS platform around the workload and its operating requirements, then take responsibility for the agreed scope.
Migrate, modernise or remediate what cannot support the required target state, then move the resulting platform into managed operations.
Managed Platform brings the AWS responsibilities that need ongoing ownership into one operating model.
Engineer the platform and the changes it needs.
Run the agreed AWS platform scope and recurring routines.
Maintain agreed identity, access and platform security controls.
Manage backup, recovery and resilience responsibilities.
Keep the platform visible through the telemetry that matters.
Improve cost, capacity, configuration and efficiency.
Validate that important controls and recovery behaviours still work.
You keep ownership of your business and applications. We take responsibility for the AWS platform scope we agree.
The responsibility boundary is defined before the platform moves into managed operations.
Know where your team's responsibility ends and ours begins.
Keep application teams focused on applications, not recurring AWS platform work.
Make security, recovery, observability and cost part of normal operations.
Keep engineering the platform as workloads and requirements change.
Review the current state, workload requirements, dependencies, operating constraints and responsibilities.
Stabilise, remediate, migrate, modernise or build what the target platform requires.
Define the managed scope, controls, support boundaries, escalation paths and recurring platform routines.
Operate the agreed AWS platform scope and continue platform engineering as requirements change.
Platform work moves into an ongoing operating model.
Not every AWS environment needs the same level of operating responsibility. The service depth is shaped around the platform, workload criticality and the responsibilities you want KineticSkunk to own.
AWS visibility, platform hygiene and defined support ownership.
Adds deeper release, reporting, cost and recurring platform-management responsibilities.
Adds production governance, backup and recovery, access discipline and operational evidence.
Adds greater resilience, escalation, stakeholder reporting and continuous optimisation.
The difference is not simply the number of activities included. It is the amount of recurring platform responsibility KineticSkunk takes on.

Coverage windows, incident classifications, escalation contacts and response targets are agreed during onboarding and documented in the managed service agreement.
Migration, recovery, cost, security or architecture work can start as focused engineering. Where ongoing ownership makes sense, the resulting AWS platform scope can move into Managed Platform.
We combine platform engineering with managed operations, so the AWS platform can move from engineering work into a defined operating relationship.
Platform engineering and operations in one operating relationship.
Security, privacy and operational trust information available for customer diligence.
Show us the environment or the requirements. We'll help define what needs to change, where responsibility sits and what should move into managed operations.
