Independent AWS Cloud Consulting

Make AWS simpler for your business.

Practical cloud consulting for small businesses planning, setting up, or reviewing their AWS environment. We provide scoped advisory and clean Infrastructure as Code—without unnecessary complexity.

Scoped advisory & hands-on setup. Full documentation and account control stay with your team.

What NasirCloud actually offers.

We provide a combination of strategic advisory and hands-on Terraform implementation. Every engagement has a clear scope, defined deliverables, and full handoff to your team.

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 table setup
  • IAM role and permission separation (least-privilege)
  • Repeatable infrastructure organization codified in Terraform
Migration

Cloud Migration Guidance

Step-by-step advisory for moving web applications, databases, or static assets from shared hosting, VPS providers, or on-premises servers into AWS with careful cutover planning.

  • Pragmatic migration feasibility and requirement checklists
  • Data and asset transfer planning to S3 or managed databases
  • DNS transition and cutover strategies with minimal downtime
Cost Review

Cost & Resource Usage 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, unattached IPs, or idle compute
  • Storage lifecycle and caching opportunities
  • Clear summary of cost drivers without exaggerated savings claims
Operations

Monitoring & Operational Setup

Help your team gain visibility into how your cloud infrastructure is performing. We configure CloudWatch metric dashboards, budget threshold alerts, and operational runbooks.

  • CloudWatch metric alerts and proactive monthly billing alarms
  • Essential backup and snapshot schedules for databases
  • Standard operating documentation tailored for your developers
Advisory

Architecture & Technical Consultation

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

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

Clear Engagement Scope & Boundaries

To build a trustworthy relationship, here is what NasirCloud does and does not provide:

✓ What NasirCloud Delivers

  • Advisory & Planning: High-level system design, service selection, and migration roadmaps.
  • Hands-on Implementation: Repeatable, documented Terraform code and AWS console configurations.
  • Complete Handoff: Full administrative control, code repositories, and documentation remain with your team.
  • Optional Periodic Checkups: Scheduled quarterly reviews upon request under separate agreed scopes.

✕ What Is Out of Scope

  • No 24/7 Managed Operations: We do not offer continuous 24/7 monitoring, emergency on-call incident response, or MSP coverage.
  • No Compliance Certifications: We do not issue formal SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or legal compliance sign-offs.
  • No Savings Guarantees: We do not guarantee specific dollar savings or AWS credit/grant approvals.
  • No Unbounded Commitments: Work is strictly scoped before beginning so you have full budget predictability.

Designed for businesses needing straightforward cloud guidance.

We work with small businesses, startup founders, and development teams who want clean AWS infrastructure without the overhead of hiring a full-time cloud engineer.

01

Non-Technical Founders & Business Owners

You know your business needs cloud hosting or AWS tools, but technical documentation is dense and confusing. We translate technical options into practical, business-friendly 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 core product, but you do not need—or cannot yet justify—a full-time cloud engineer. We fill that gap on a focused, scoped project basis.

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 discussion to understand your business goals, current setup, timeline, and questions regarding AWS.

2

Understand Setup & Goals

We review your current architecture, planned workloads, or pain points to identify dependencies, constraints, and realistic cost factors.

3

Agree on Scoped Engagement

You receive a clear, written proposal specifying exact deliverables, timeline estimates, and a fixed consulting fee before work starts.

4

Implementation & Handoff

We deliver the agreed work—whether Terraform scripts, configurations, or advisory documentation—and ensure your team understands every component.

How this platform was built.

Rather than inventing client case studies or testimonials, here is a transparent, verifiable project demonstrating NasirCloud's real AWS and Terraform implementation in production.

Live Reference Project

The NasirCloud Production Platform & Custom Domain

Live at nasircloud.shop

Project Context & Objective

Design and provision a production web platform for NasirCloud with global low-latency distribution, custom domain DNS, automated TLS certificates, and 100% declarative Infrastructure as Code.

Owner Role

Mohammed Nasirudeen (Solo Cloud Consultant): Full architectural design, Terraform code authoring, Route 53 DNS delegation, ACM SSL validation, and CloudFront CDN integration.

Technologies Actually Used

Amazon S3 Amazon CloudFront CDN AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) Amazon Route 53 DNS HashiCorp Terraform v1.15+ Vanilla HTML5 / CSS3 / JS

What Was Delivered

  • Automated S3 static hosting bucket with least-privilege read policy
  • Global CloudFront CDN with TLS 1.3, Brotli compression & HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect
  • Route 53 hosted zone with apex (A/AAAA) & subdomain alias routing
  • Repeatable Terraform configuration with version-controlled state and automated mime detection

Client Engagements Note: Future client project summaries are only published with explicit written authorization, verified scope details, and sanitized architectural references to respect client confidentiality.

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

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
