Cloud Computing Services

Stop overpaying for cloud.
Start extracting real value.

Progressive Robot engineers cloud environments on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud that are lean, secure, and built to scale — while FinOps practices keep your bill exactly where it belongs.

Why Cloud Bills Spiral

The four sources of cloud waste
most teams never see

Visibility is the first problem. Most organisations have no single view of where cloud spend actually goes — and the bill grows every month.

Idle Compute34%
Over-provisioned28%
Committed Waste21%
Data Transfer17%

Idle Compute

Servers, containers, and VMs that run 24 / 7 but serve traffic for only a fraction of the day. Right-sizing and auto-scaling policies eliminate this silently.

Over-Provisioned Instances

Resources sized for peak demand two years ago — carrying 3× the capacity you actually need today. Rightsizing alone recovers 15–20% of spend.

Committed Spend Waste

Reserved instances and savings plans bought without demand modelling, now sitting unused. Proper commitment planning flips these into genuine discounts.

Data Transfer Costs

Egress fees silently accumulating across regions and zones. Often the single largest surprise line on a cloud invoice — and entirely preventable with the right architecture.

What We Do

Cloud services across the full stack

Most Requested

Cloud Migration

Lift-and-shift, re-platform, or re-architect — zero-downtime migrations from on-premise and legacy data centres to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Our playbooks cover data, identity, networking, and compliance in a single coordinated programme.

  • Full pre-migration dependency mapping & wave planning
  • Automated rollback capability on every cutover window
  • Compliance evidence pack (GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2 ready)
  • Post-migration 90-day hypercare & cost baseline review

Cloud Security

Security-by-design: IAM governance, posture management, encryption at rest and in transit, and zero-trust network architecture across all platforms.

  • Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) deployment
  • Zero-trust network segmentation & least-privilege IAM
  • Continuous vulnerability scanning & alerting

FinOps & Cost Optimisation

Tag governance, rightsizing analysis, reserved instance planning, and monthly FinOps review cycles that keep spend predictable.

  • Tag taxonomy design & enforcement automation
  • Reserved instance & savings plan right-sizing
  • Monthly spend anomaly alerts & exec dashboards

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform and CloudFormation to version-control, audit, and repeatably deploy your entire cloud estate with full drift detection.

  • Full IaC codebase with Git-based CI/CD pipelines
  • Drift detection & automated remediation playbooks
  • Module library for future self-service provisioning

Cloud-Native Architecture

Kubernetes, serverless, and event-driven microservices built for genuine resilience, auto-scaling, and operational independence.

  • Container orchestration with Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE)
  • Serverless functions & event-driven workflow design
  • Observability stack: logging, metrics, tracing
Platform Expertise

Certified across all three major clouds

We're not a one-platform shop. Our engineers are certified across AWS, Azure, and GCP — so the recommendation is always the right fit, not the one we happen to know best.

What You Get

Included in every engagement

Every Progressive Robot cloud project ships with the same baseline of deliverables, documentation, and ongoing support — no matter how large or small the scope.

Dedicated Cloud Architect

A named senior engineer owns your engagement end-to-end. No account managers, no handoffs — the person you brief is the person who builds.

Full Documentation & Runbooks

Architecture diagrams, runbooks, IaC repositories, and decision logs delivered at handover so your team can operate independently from day one.

Security Baseline Review

Every engagement includes a CIS Benchmark review against your cloud environment with a prioritised remediation list before go-live.

90-Day Post-Project Hypercare

Our engineers stay on call for 90 days after go-live. Any issues that surface in production are resolved at no additional charge.

Weekly Progress Reports

Plain-English status updates every week with spend-to-date, risks, next milestones, and a RAG status your board can read in two minutes.

Compliance Evidence Pack

Audit-ready evidence for GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 requirements — collected continuously throughout the project, not scrambled at audit time.

How We Work

Your cloud migration in five proven stages

Every engagement follows the same structured delivery — no guesswork, no surprises. You know exactly what happens in week one, and every week after.

Phase 01
Discovery & Audit

Workload inventory, dependency mapping, and licence review. Each asset scored on complexity and business value to prioritise what moves first, and what gets retired.

DeliverableMigration-ready asset register with wave plan & cost baseline
Weeks 1–2
Phase 02
Architecture Design

Landing zone, network topology, IAM model, and DR strategy — all documented as infrastructure-as-code before a single cloud resource is created.

DeliverableReviewed IaC codebase, network diagram & approved security baseline
Weeks 3–4
Phase 03
Pilot Migration

Non-critical workloads move first in a controlled wave. Performance, security, and cost-per-unit validated against agreed baselines before full commit.

DeliverablePilot sign-off report with go/no-go recommendation for full migration
Weeks 5–7
Phase 04
Full Cutover

All remaining workloads in agreed waves with automated rollback. Production stays online; cutover windows scheduled and communicated to your team in advance.

DeliverableFull estate live on target cloud with zero-downtime cutover confirmation
Weeks 8–14
Phase 05
FinOps Handover

Cost dashboards, tagging policies, and alerting handed to your team or into managed service. Monthly FinOps reviews keep spend on track as usage evolves.

DeliverableLive FinOps dashboard, tag policy docs & 90-day hypercare SLA
