Cloud platform engineering
Rokad designs, builds, migrates, secures, and operates production cloud platforms across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare.
Designed for / 01
A focused delivery model for the organisations that need it.
A cloud provider supplies capabilities, but a dependable cloud platform requires deliberate account structure, identity, networking, policy, security, infrastructure code, delivery, observability, backup, recovery, cost controls, and accountable operations. Rokad selects and engineers the provider architecture around workload requirements rather than reproducing a generic reference stack.
Organisations standardising fragmented cloud estates
Bring independently created accounts, subscriptions, projects, applications, identities, policies, and operating practices under a governed platform model.
Companies evaluating provider or multi-cloud choices
Compare workload fit, service maturity, data, regions, skills, contracts, costs, portability, and exit requirements before commitment.
Challenges / 02
The problems this service is built to solve.
The provider account became the architecture
Resources were created directly without durable boundaries for environments, teams, workloads, identity, networks, policy, telemetry, or ownership.
Cloud services grow faster than operational control
Permissions, secrets, logs, backups, upgrades, dependencies, quotas, incidents, vulnerabilities, and cost lack one operating model.
Multi-cloud is declared without a workload reason
Teams duplicate platforms and skills without defining which workloads genuinely require another provider or how cross-cloud operation will work.

Solution components / 04
The system behind the visible product.
Cloud foundation
Organisation, accounts, subscriptions, projects, regions, networks, identity, policy, logging, security, tagging, budgets, and shared services.
Workload platform
Compute, containers, serverless, data, storage, messaging, edge, integration, scaling, resilience, and service contracts.
Delivery and control plane
Infrastructure code, pipelines, artefacts, secrets, environments, policy, approvals, change evidence, and rollback.
Cloud operations
Telemetry, service objectives, incidents, backups, recovery, vulnerabilities, upgrades, capacity, cost, support, and lifecycle.
Use cases / 05
Where this capability creates practical leverage.
Production cloud foundation
Create governed account, identity, network, security, delivery, observability, backup, and cost foundations for new workloads.
Cloud-native application platform
Run web, API, worker, event, data, AI, and container workloads on supported provider services with clear operating ownership.
Cloud estate modernisation
Refactor unmanaged infrastructure, permissions, networking, deployment, telemetry, security, recovery, and cost into a controlled platform.
Provider and architecture decision
Evaluate AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, or a deliberate combination against product, data, compliance, region, skill, and economic requirements.
Architecture and integration / 06
Designed to fit the wider technology environment.
Provider-native where it creates durable value
Use managed capabilities when they materially improve reliability, security, delivery, or operations while documenting dependencies and exit implications.
Environment and ownership boundaries first
Define account, subscription, project, network, identity, data, budget, and support boundaries before individual services are deployed.
Infrastructure and policy are versioned
Create reproducible resources, permissions, network rules, monitoring, backups, and controls through reviewed automated delivery.
Quality and control / 07
Production requirements are part of the build.
Secure by design
Identity, permissions, secrets, data boundaries, dependencies, change controls, and recovery are addressed throughout delivery.
Observable operation
Metrics, logs, traces, quality, cost, failures, and service outcomes are made visible and actionable.
Reproducible delivery
Configuration, tests, infrastructure, pipelines, artefacts, changes, and recovery procedures are versioned and repeatable.
Delivery / 08
A controlled path from requirement to operation.
Discover
Clarify the objective, users, systems, constraints, dependencies, risks, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Architect
Define the target design, interfaces, controls, migration or delivery sequence, and operating model.
Deliver and validate
Implement in controlled increments with testing, review, documentation, observability, and stakeholder validation.
Operate and improve
Establish ownership, service controls, measurement, support, and a prioritised improvement backlog.

FAQ
Cloud platform engineering
Scope, ownership, assumptions, delivery, security, and long-term operation are clarified before work begins.
01Which cloud provider should we use?
Which cloud provider should we use?
The decision depends on workload architecture, regions, data, AI and platform services, compliance, existing identity and contracts, team skills, support, total cost, and exit requirements. Rokad evaluates these against actual workloads.
02Can Rokad work across more than one cloud?
Can Rokad work across more than one cloud?
Yes, where business continuity, customer requirements, acquisitions, data, edge delivery, or specialised services justify it. We avoid duplicating every capability without a workload-specific reason.
03Can Rokad take over an existing cloud environment?
Can Rokad take over an existing cloud environment?
Yes. We audit accounts, identity, networks, resources, code, deployments, telemetry, security, backups, cost, documentation, incidents, and ownership before stabilisation and transition.
04Can Rokad operate the cloud platform after delivery?
Can Rokad operate the cloud platform after delivery?
Yes. Managed services can cover releases, incidents, monitoring, security, backups, recovery, upgrades, cost, capacity, compliance evidence, and continuous platform improvement.
