AWS Service Topology

The Holistic AWS Architecture Framework.

Modern cloud infrastructure is more than just individual servers. We organize AWS environments across five interconnected architectural layers to balance performance, security, and cost.

Layer 01
Front Door
🌐

Global Edge & Traffic Routing

Directs user traffic with high resilience and minimal latency. Edge points of presence terminate SSL/TLS securely and cache assets close to your users worldwide.

Amazon Route 53 Amazon CloudFront AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) AWS WAF & Shield
  • Low-latency global edge distribution via CloudFront
  • Automated, zero-maintenance SSL/TLS certs through ACM
  • Domain routing and health-checked failover with Route 53
Layer 02
Security Zone
🛡️

VPC Perimeter & Network Isolation

Builds a secure perimeter so sensitive systems are never directly exposed to the internet. Internal components communicate through private subnets and firewalls.

Amazon VPC Public & Private Subnets NAT Gateways Security Groups & NACLs
  • Databases and backends isolated in private subnets
  • Stateful security groups enforcing least-privilege ports
  • Multi-Availability Zone layout for built-in network redundancy
Layer 03
Execution Tier
⚙️

Compute & Application Workloads

Runs your web applications, APIs, and background processes using modern containerized or serverless patterns that scale with traffic and avoid idle server waste.

AWS Fargate / ECS AWS Lambda Application Load Balancer Amazon EC2
  • Serverless containers (Fargate) with zero host OS patching
  • Event-driven microservices with AWS Lambda
  • Intelligent path-based routing via Application Load Balancers
Layer 04
State & Assets
📦

Durable Storage & Managed Databases

Safeguards company records, uploaded media, and transactional state using durable AWS managed databases and object storage with automated backups.

Amazon S3 Amazon RDS (Postgres/MySQL) Amazon Aurora Amazon DynamoDB
  • 11 nines of durability on Amazon S3 object storage
  • Automated daily backups and point-in-time recovery on RDS
  • Intelligent lifecycle policies to automatically reduce storage costs
Layer 05
Foundation
⚡

Governance, Security & IaC

The operational foundation holding the infrastructure together. All environments are codified in Terraform for total repeatability, transparency, and access control.

AWS IAM (Roles & Policies) Amazon CloudWatch AWS KMS (Encryption) HashiCorp Terraform
  • 100% declarative Infrastructure as Code (no manual console clicks)
  • Role-based access controls (IAM) with no shared root credentials
  • Proactive budget alerts and operational metrics via CloudWatch
Consulting Areas

Practical AWS services tailored to small business realities.

Whether you are starting fresh on AWS, migrating an existing project, or reviewing your current setup, we provide clear, scoped guidance.

Foundation

AWS Environment Planning & Setup

Establish a structured, clean AWS foundation from the ground up. We help you design account structures, core networking (VPC), access policies (IAM), and baseline security best practices before workloads go live.

  • Foundational VPC, subnets, and routing
  • IAM role and permission separation
  • Repeatable infrastructure organization
Migration

Cloud Migration Guidance

Step-by-step advisory for moving web applications, databases, or static assets from shared hosting, on-premises servers, or other cloud providers into AWS with minimal disruption.

  • Pragmatic migration feasibility & checklists
  • Data and asset transfer planning
  • DNS transition and cutover strategies
Cost Review

Cost & Resource Reviews

AWS billing can quickly become confusing. We review your current AWS resource usage and monthly invoices to identify idle resources, oversized instances, and opportunities to right-size configurations.

  • Identification of unused volumes or instances
  • Storage lifecycle and caching opportunities
  • Clear summary of cost drivers without exaggerated savings claims
Operations

Monitoring & Operational Guidance

Help your team set up visibility into how your infrastructure is performing. We guide you in configuring CloudWatch alerts, billing alarms, and operational health checks.

  • CloudWatch metrics and billing threshold alerts
  • Essential backup and snapshot schedules
  • Standard operating guidelines for your team
Advisory

Architecture & Technical Consultation

Get an objective, outside perspective on upcoming infrastructure decisions. We review technical proposals, recommend appropriate AWS managed services, and help prevent costly architectural rework.

  • Evaluating serverless vs. container vs. VM options
  • S3 static website and CloudFront edge architectures
  • Clear architectural diagrams and documentation

Consulting Scope & Boundaries

NasirCloud provides advisory consulting and scoped technical guidance. We do not provide 24/7 managed emergency operations, outsourced security audits, or formal regulatory compliance certifications unless explicitly verified in a written agreement.

Target Fit

Designed for businesses needing straightforward cloud guidance.

We work with small teams and business owners who want reliable cloud setups without navigating AWS complexity alone.

01

Non-Technical Founders & Small Business Owners

You know your business needs cloud hosting or AWS tools, but technical documentation is dense and intimidating. We translate requirements into clear, understandable choices.

02

Growing Teams Setting Up Their First AWS Environment

You are launching a web application, API, or customer portal and want to ensure the foundational VPC, access rules, and services are configured cleanly from day one.

03

Teams Seeking Outside Guidance Without Full-Time Hires

Your developers build the product, but you do not need—or cannot yet justify—a full-time cloud engineer. We fill that gap on a focused, scoped basis.

Our Approach

A simple, transparent process from first contact to delivery.

No rigid multi-month retainers or surprise fees. Every engagement follows a clear, mutually agreed plan.

1

Initial Conversation

We begin with a low-pressure conversation to discuss what your business is trying to achieve, what systems you currently run, and what challenges you face with AWS.

2

Understand Goals & Current Setup

We review your current infrastructure, architecture diagrams, or planned workloads. We ask questions to uncover dependencies, constraints, and cost considerations.

3

Agree on a Scoped Engagement

You receive a clear, written proposal detailing what we will deliver, what is out of scope, the estimated timeline, and the agreed consulting fee before any work begins.

4

Provide Agreed Guidance or Implementation

We deliver the agreed work—whether that means hands-on setup, migration steps, architectural documentation, or review walk-throughs—and ensure your team understands the results.
