What We Deliver in Africa

AWS services we deploy, migrate & operate.

From containers and CI/CD pipelines to database management and cost optimization — we cover the full AWS stack for African businesses.

African Data Protection Frameworks

Four frameworks. One AWS architecture practice.

POPIA, NDPR, Kenya DPA, and Egyptian PDPL each demand different evidence. We've built solutions for all four, with the same AWS-native, ISO 27001-grounded approach.

P

POPIA

South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act. Lawful processing, data subject rights, cross-border transfer safeguards, and Information Regulator compliance.

N

NDPR / NDPA

Nigeria's Data Protection Act 2023. Consent management, data protection impact assessments, cross-border data transfer mechanisms, and NITDA compliance.

K

Kenya DPA 2019

Kenya's Data Protection Act. Registration with ODPC, data protection impact assessments, cross-border transfer controls, and data localisation requirements.

Industries We Serve in Africa

AWS expertise across African verticals.

From mobile-first FinTech to enterprise mining operations — we understand the compliance, performance, and cost constraints specific to each industry.

Where We Deliver In Africa

Six key markets. One AWS region.

Africa's AWS region in Cape Town serves the entire continent. Our country pages cover the specifics for each market.

AWS African Region

One AWS region. Continental coverage.

Cape Town is AWS's only African region, launched in 2020. It provides low-latency access across Southern and East Africa, with Middle East regions serving North Africa.

HAZERCLOUD
Why HAZERCLOUD For African Delivery

AWS Advanced Tier expertise, without the premium price tag.

Africa-focused AWS partners are rare, and those with Advanced Tier status are even rarer. HAZERCLOUD combines India-based delivery economics with genuine AWS depth — containers, CI/CD, migration, cost optimization, and compliance-ready architecture. ISO 27001:2022 certified, AWS Advanced Tier, founder-led on every engagement.

Honest acknowledgement: We are not an Africa-headquartered partner. Our market is African commercial entities — FinTech, SaaS, HealthTech, mining, and regulated businesses — where AWS-certified engineering delivered from India with daily African timezone overlap is the right fit. Cape Town (UTC+2) aligns closely with India (UTC+5:30), giving us strong working hour coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions

AWS in Africa — common questions.

Cape Town (af-south-1) is AWS's only African region, launched in April 2020 with three Availability Zones. It's the default choice for workloads requiring low latency across Southern and East Africa, and for compliance with South African data residency requirements under POPIA. For North African workloads, Bahrain (me-south-1) often provides lower latency. HAZERCLOUD helps you choose based on latency, compliance, service availability, and cost profile.
Africa-based AWS Advanced Tier partners are extremely rare. HAZERCLOUD delivers genuine AWS Advanced Tier expertise at competitive rates through India-headquartered delivery with African timezone overlap (3-5 hours daily). Cape Town (UTC+2) aligns closely with India (UTC+5:30). Every engagement is founder-led, ISO 27001:2022 certified, and uses the same AWS-certified engineers throughout.
Yes — cloud migration is one of our core services. We've completed production migrations from Heroku to AWS ECS, DigitalOcean Kubernetes to ECS, and on-premises infrastructure to AWS. Our migration approach includes workload assessment, architecture design, data migration planning, zero-downtime cutover, and post-migration optimization.
Each African country has its own data protection framework. South Africa has POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act), Nigeria has the NDPA (Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023), Kenya has the DPA 2019, Egypt has its PDPL, Ghana has the DPA 2012, and Rwanda has the Data Protection and Privacy Law 2021. HAZERCLOUD architects AWS environments that satisfy the specific requirements of each jurisdiction.
For most African startups and scale-ups, ECS is the pragmatic choice — lower operational overhead, tighter AWS integration, and simpler scaling. EKS is right when you need Kubernetes-native tooling or multi-cloud portability. Both are available in the Cape Town region. HAZERCLOUD has production experience with both and will recommend based on your team size, operational maturity, and scaling requirements.
Cape Town (af-south-1) launched in 2020 and has a growing service catalogue. Core services like EC2, ECS, EKS, RDS, S3, Lambda, and CloudFront are available. Some newer or specialised services may launch in Cape Town later than in larger regions. HAZERCLOUD monitors service availability and architects solutions using available services, with cross-region patterns when specific services are needed.
Yes. We architect AWS environments that satisfy POPIA requirements including lawful processing conditions, data subject rights implementation, cross-border transfer safeguards, security measures (encryption, access controls, audit logging), and Information Regulator reporting readiness. Our ISO 27001:2022 certification provides the management system evidence that underpins POPIA compliance.
Yes. We manage Windows Server EC2 instances, Windows containers on ECS, Active Directory integration, SQL Server on RDS, and Windows-based CI/CD pipelines. We also help optimize Windows licensing costs on AWS — including license-included vs. BYOL decisions, and migration to Linux where appropriate for cost savings.
