Managed AWS
We Run Your AWS
So You Don't Have To
Patching, backups, monitoring, security and cost, handled by a senior engineer who knows your setup. A fraction of a full-time hire, and nothing depends on one person's memory anymore.

The Problem
Your AWS Needs Someone Looking After It
AWS doesn't run itself. Operating systems need patches, certificates expire, disks fill, backups silently fail, and costs creep up month after month.
Most small teams handle this when something breaks. Managed AWS means someone is watching before it breaks, with a monthly report so you know what was done.
What you stop worrying about:
3 a.m. surprises
Alerts go to us first, and most are fixed before you'd notice.
Untested backups
We run restore tests on a schedule, not just snapshots.
Creeping costs
Monthly cost review with anything unusual explained.
What's Included
Everything Day-to-Day AWS Needs
Monitoring and alerting
Uptime, errors, capacity and cost alerts routed to us, with response times in your plan.
Patching and updates
OS, runtime and container base-image updates on a regular maintenance schedule.
Backups and restore tests
Automated backups with documented, regularly tested restores.
Security reviews
IAM, open ports, public buckets, CloudTrail and GuardDuty findings reviewed monthly.
Cost control
Budgets, anomaly alerts and a monthly review of anything that moved.
Hours for changes
A monthly block of engineering hours for changes and improvements; extra at $175/hr.
Pricing
Plans
Managed AWS starts at $2,500/mo for a typical small-team setup: one or two accounts, a handful of services, business-hours response and a monthly hours block.
Larger or more critical environments run about $5,000/mo: more accounts and services, faster response and more hours.
Your AWS bill is paid by you, directly to AWS. We start with a cost audit or an onboarding review, so the plan is priced from what you actually run. Month to month, cancel anytime.
How much do managed AWS services cost?
From $2,500/mo for a typical small-team environment, and around $5,000/mo for larger or more critical setups. Your AWS usage is billed by AWS directly to you.
Is there 24/7 support?
Alerts are monitored around the clock and critical outages get after-hours response. Day-to-day changes happen in business hours. Response times are written into your plan.
Do we keep control of our AWS accounts?
Yes. Everything stays in your accounts. We work through roles you can revoke anytime, and all changes are documented.
Can you take over from our previous provider or contractor?
Yes. Onboarding starts with a review of what's there, credentials moved to proper roles, and documentation of how everything works.
What's the difference between Managed AWS and Fractional DevOps?
Managed AWS keeps what you have running safely and cheaply. Fractional DevOps builds and improves: pipelines, infrastructure as code, new environments. Many teams start with one and add the other.
