Someone watching it who is not you.
Monitoring, patching, backups, and cost review running continuously — with a monthly report in language your board understands rather than a dashboard nobody opens.
When this is the priority
This is the priority when nobody owns the estate day to day, patches slip, or the bill grows without anyone able to explain why.
It is optional. Many clients take the handover and run it themselves, which is a legitimate outcome and one we document for deliberately.

What we do
Watch it, patch it, and explain the bill.
Four things run continuously. The monthly report is the deliverable you actually read — what happened, what it cost, and what we recommend next.
Monitoring and response
Alerting with on-call routing and post-incident notes that name the cause.
CloudWatch · EventBridge
Patch management
A schedule that runs, with exceptions surfaced rather than silently skipped.
Systems Manager
Backup verification
Backups checked, not assumed, with periodic restore tests.
AWS Backup
Cost and FinOps
Right-sizing, commitments, and allocation so spend has an owner.
Cost Explorer · Budgets
How it runs
Instrument first, then improve.
You cannot fix reliability you cannot see. The first month is about establishing a baseline; the improvement work follows from what it shows.
Take over monitoring
Instrumentation, alert thresholds, and on-call routing established.
Establish schedules
Patch windows and backup verification running on a cadence.
Fix the recurring causes
The failure modes the baseline exposed, addressed in priority order.
Report and review
Monthly report, cost review, and a standing recommendation list.
What changes
Before and after.
- Nobody watching the estate day to day
- Patches applied when someone remembers
- A bill that grows unexplained
- Alerting with a named person responding
- Patch and backup schedules that run
- Spend broken down by workload and owner
