Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about my DevOps consulting services.

I provide end-to-end cloud consulting including AWS architecture design, CI/CD pipeline automation, Kubernetes orchestration, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, security & compliance hardening, and FinOps cost optimization.

Yes, I work fully remotely with clients worldwide. I'm available for async collaboration and scheduled calls via video conference.

My primary expertise is AWS - I hold multiple AWS professional and specialty certifications. I also work with Azure and GCP, and help teams migrate to cloud, optimize existing infrastructure, and build multi-cloud strategies.

Typically within 1–2 weeks depending on scope. For urgent needs, I offer a free 30-minute discovery call to assess your situation and propose an immediate action plan.

I offer both project-based and retainer engagement models. Pricing depends on scope, timeline, and complexity. Book a free discovery call to discuss your needs and receive a tailored proposal.

In the free consultation I analyze your current infrastructure, identify bottlenecks and cost inefficiencies, and provide actionable recommendations - at no cost or commitment.

You get direct access to the person doing the work — no account managers, no junior engineers learning on your dime, no hand-offs between teams. Every recommendation comes from someone who’s personally done the implementation. For larger engagements, I bring in trusted collaborators from past projects (including work delivered through Cloud Assembly) rather than assigning you to whoever’s available that week.
