01
Architecture & Well-Architected Review
A structured audit of your existing AWS account against the five Well-Architected pillars, producing a prioritized list of security, cost, and reliability fixes ranked by effort and impact.
Cloud and Staffing
AWS Consulting
Quinoid's AWS consulting team designs, migrates, and runs your infrastructure without the trial-and-error cost of learning AWS on production workloads.
Before you choose a partner
Is this the right service for your project?
For teams reviewing an AWS architecture, operating risks, access controls, or cloud spending before making changes.
When another approach may fit better
An architecture review may be a better first step than migration if the existing hosting meets your needs. Compare operational risks, ongoing costs, and migration effort before moving systems.
- What can be included in the scope?
- An agreed architecture review, prioritised findings, cost and security recommendations, and implementation or operating guidance.
- What affects the cost?
- Workloads, dependencies, data volumes, uptime requirements, security controls, and support coverage affect the engagement. Compare ongoing cloud bills and migration effort as separate costs.
- How will we agree a realistic timeline?
- Inventory dependencies and test backups, rollback, and recovery before committing to cutover. Data transfer, integration checks, and an agreed maintenance window can determine the schedule.
- What should we agree about ownership and handover?
- Confirm client control of cloud accounts, billing, access policies, infrastructure code, backups, and recovery documentation. Specify monitoring and support hours in the agreement.
What should you bring to the first conversation?
Share the architecture, current cloud or hosting bills, access constraints, uptime needs, data locations, and the problem driving the change.
Share what you know now. We can clarify the remaining questions together.
01
Start with context
The work, in plain language
A clear view of the problem before we shape the solution.
Quinoid helps engineering teams review, improve, and operate AWS infrastructure around defined business and reliability requirements. An engagement can start with architecture, cost, or operational risk, then scope access controls, deployment environments, monitoring, backup and recovery, or application hosting. Bring the current architecture, cloud bills, uptime needs, and the issue driving the review.
The work should distinguish implementation effort from ongoing AWS charges, and make client account ownership, access, support coverage, and operating responsibilities clear. Timing depends on system dependencies, permitted access, testing, and maintenance windows rather than a fixed audit package.
We ask the practical questions early, involve the people who use the product, and keep the work visible as it develops.

What we can help you deliver
Focused help, shaped around the part of the journey you are in.
02
Cost Optimization Retainer
Monthly review of Cost Explorer data, reserved instance and savings plan recommendations, and right-sizing of EC2 and RDS instances, with savings measured against an agreed billing baseline.
03
Infrastructure-as-Code Migration
Converting manually clicked-together AWS environments into Terraform or CloudFormation modules, so infrastructure changes are reviewed, versioned, and reproducible across staging and production.
04
Dedicated AWS Engineer (Embedded)
A named AWS engineer who joins your existing team's sprints and Slack, handling infrastructure tickets alongside your developers rather than working as a detached external vendor.
How the work moves
Small, visible steps keep decisions timely and surprises rare.
Account & Workload Discovery
We review your AWS Organizations setup, billing data, and architecture diagrams (or reverse-engineer them if none exist) to map what's actually running.
Risk & Cost Prioritization
Findings get sorted into security risks, cost waste, and reliability gaps, each tagged with estimated remediation effort so you can sequence the work.
Remediation Sprints
We execute fixes in scoped two-week sprints — IAM policy tightening, autoscaling configuration, backup automation — with a demo at the end of each one.
Handover & Documentation
Every change ships with updated architecture diagrams and a runbook, so your internal team can operate the environment without depending on us indefinitely.
Ongoing Monitoring (Optional)
Clients who want continuity move to a monthly retainer covering alerting, patching, and incident response rather than re-engaging us project by project.
What better looks like
A cloud setup aligned to product and business needs
Reduced infrastructure waste and operational risk
A clearer path from current systems to scalable AWS services
05 / Why Quinoid
Experienced enough to guide. Close enough to care.
Most AWS consulting firms either oversell managed services you don't need or undersell the security gaps that will bite you later. Quinoid's India-based AWS engineers work inside your existing tools and give you architecture you actually own.
- 01
Cloud engineers who hand you Terraform code and documentation, not a black-box managed service you can't exit.
- 02
Time zone overlap means infrastructure incidents raised after your team logs off get worked on overnight, not the next afternoon.
- 03
Engagements start as small as a two-week audit — no annual contract required before we've proven the fit.
Questions people usually ask us.
Do you only work with companies already fully on AWS?
No. We work with teams at every stage — from a startup deploying its first EC2 instance to an enterprise running hundreds of accounts under AWS Organizations that needs governance cleanup.
Can you fix a misconfigured AWS account without disrupting production?
Yes. We stage changes in a non-production AWS account or apply them during low-traffic windows, and every IAM or networking change goes through a peer review before it touches production.
How is this different from hiring an AWS Solutions Architect full-time?
You get architect-level expertise without a six-figure salary commitment or a multi-month hiring search — you scale our involvement up or down as your infrastructure needs change.
Do you help with AWS cost reduction specifically?
Cost optimization reviews examine reserved instances, savings plans, right-sizing, storage, data transfer, and orphaned resources. Any savings estimate is calculated from the client’s actual billing baseline and approved architecture changes.
