How Engagements Work

How engagements work

Project, retainer or embedded, every engagement runs through the same four phases.

01 · DISCOVERY

Discovery

A 30 to 60 minute call with the founder. We assess current state, understand goals, and identify the highest-leverage starting point. No sales rep, no junior account manager.

02 · ARCHITECTURE

Architecture

Reference architecture document for the proposed solution, founder-reviewed before it goes to you. It includes AWS Well-Architected mapping, a cost estimate, and an SOW with milestones.

03 · IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation

AWS-certified engineers building against the agreed architecture. Weekly status calls with founder attendance. Material decisions go through the founder before changes ship.

04 · HANDOFF

Handoff

Documented handover with runbooks, architecture diagrams, and operations playbooks. 30 days of post-handoff support. Optional retainer for ongoing operations.

Choosing A Partner

How to choose an AWS consulting partner

Whether you shortlist us or not, these five things are worth checking on any AWS consulting partner before you sign. All five are answerable before a contract. Our answer to each is next to it.

  • Partner tier: check it yourself in the AWS Partner directory rather than trusting a badge image. We are an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner and every delivery engineer is AWS-certified.
  • Named engineers: ask who will actually touch your account. You get a named senior engineer who knows your setup, and the founder attends engagement calls.
  • Written scope: the precise scope is agreed in writing before we start, with a reference architecture, cost estimate and SOW with milestones.
  • Exit terms: everything we build lives in your own AWS accounts with documentation handed over as we go, and you keep the billing relationship with AWS.
  • References: after our discovery call, we connect you directly with 2-3 past clients in similar situations.

Common Questions

AWS consulting, answered.

If your question is not here, ask it on the call. We would rather scope honestly than sell you more than your workload justifies.

What do AWS consulting services include?+
Architecture, migration, DevOps, security and cost work on AWS: migrations from Heroku, on-prem or other clouds, container platforms on ECS and EKS, landing zones, network security assessments, cost optimization and CloudOps operations. Every engagement runs through the same four phases, discovery, architecture, implementation and a documented handoff, with an optional retainer for ongoing operations.
How does pricing work?+
It depends on what you need, but here are the honest bands. Cost-optimization work is a fixed-fee audit, with the implementation either fixed-fee or aligned to the savings we actually validate. Simple single-app migrations typically land in the $1,000 to 3,000 range. Multi-app and compliance-heavy programs are scoped per workload. Ongoing support runs as a monthly retainer that scales with how complex your account is and how much cover you want. We share full pricing on the first call.
What AWS partner tier is HAZERCLOUD?+
HAZERCLOUD is an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, and every delivery engineer is AWS-certified. Check the tier yourself in the AWS Partner directory rather than trusting a badge image.
Can AWS MAP funding pay for a migration?+
Often, yes. Through the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), AWS co-funds qualifying migrations delivered by eligible partners like HAZERCLOUD. Eligibility depends on workload size and type: we assess it in your first call and handle the AWS registration if you qualify.
