AWS Managed Services for Australia

We run your AWS. You keep ownership.

HAZERCLOUD operates your AWS environment around the clock: monitoring, incident response, patching and backups, while everything stays in your own AWS account. We are an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner and ISO 27001:2022 certified, delivered remotely from India with Australian-workday overlap and 24/7 on-call cover. We do not run a local office, and we are upfront about that.

We Run It, You Own It

Managed AWS, without giving up control.

Everything runs in your own AWS account. We operate it for you under agreed permissions, and you keep ownership and access throughout. Here is what managed AWS actually covers.

01 · MONITORING

Metrics, alarms and logs

CloudWatch metrics, alarms and log aggregation tuned to your workload, so problems surface as a signal we act on rather than a support ticket you have to raise. We watch the things that matter for your stack, not a generic dashboard.

CloudWatchAlarmsLog aggregation
02 · INCIDENT RESPONSE

24/7 first response

First response under an agreed SLA, a documented escalation path, and the founder on the escalation chain for the ones that matter. When something breaks at 3am, someone is already looking at it, not waiting for business hours.

SLA responseEscalation pathFounder on-call
03 · PATCHING

Patching & maintenance

Operating system and application patching in an agreed change window, with the rollback planned first, not improvised if it goes wrong. You know when a change is happening and how it gets reversed before it starts.

Change windowRollback plannedOS & app
04 · BACKUP & RESTORE

Verified by restoring

Backups are proven by actually restoring them, not by a green backup job in a console. A backup you have never restored is a hope, not a recovery plan, so we test the restore and keep the evidence.

Verified restoresRetentionRecovery tested
05 · COST & CAPACITY

Cost & capacity reporting

A monthly review of spend and capacity with right-sizing recommendations, so the bill stays honest as the workload changes. We flag the waste and the Savings Plan opportunities rather than letting the account drift.

Monthly reviewRight-sizingSavings Plans
06 · NAMED ENGINEER

A named engineer

A named engineer who knows your environment, not a rotating queue that reads your history from scratch every time. Continuity is the point: the person who set up your account is the person who runs it.

24/7 Across Time Zones

Covered in the day, covered overnight.

The Australian business day is fully covered because your late morning and afternoon overlap our core hours. Overnight incidents are handled by on-call. Here is exactly how that works, with no exaggeration.

Your business day

Live cover during AU hours

  • Real overlap. Your late morning and afternoon, roughly 11:00 to 16:00 AEST, sit inside our core hours for live calls.
  • Scheduled work. Reviews, change windows and planned maintenance are booked into that overlap, so you are awake for the important ones.
  • Same team. The engineer who runs your account is the one on the call, not a handoff to a stranger.
  • Better than the US. The overlap is materially wider than a US-based partner can offer an Australian business.
Overnight and weekends

On-call handles the rest

  • On-call cover. Outside the overlap, incidents are picked up by on-call engineers under your SLA.
  • No local night shift. We do not pretend there is an Australian team working through the night, because there is not.
  • No local office. Delivery is remote from India, and we do not run a local office in any Australian city.
  • Honest by design. You get round-the-clock incident cover without anyone claiming a presence we do not have.
The honest version: your working day gets live, same-team cover during the overlap, and anything that breaks overnight is handled by on-call under your SLA. That is a wider overlap than a US partner, delivered remotely, with no local office and no local night shift invented to make it sound closer than it is.
Compliance-Aware Operations

Run with Essential Eight, APRA and IRAP in mind.

Compliance is not an afterthought bolted on later. Patching cadence, backup verification, logging and access control are set up to support the frameworks Australian businesses are held to, underpinned by our own ISO 27001:2022 certification.

Essential Eight

Patching and hardening cadence

Our operational routine, patch cadence, application control, backup verification and admin-access discipline, maps to the Essential Eight maturity model, so the day-to-day running of your account supports the mitigation strategies rather than working against them.

Essential Eight
APRA

Operational resilience for regulated workloads

For APRA-regulated environments, CPS 230 operational resilience and CPS 234 information security shape how the account is monitored, changed and recovered, with the evidence trail an auditor can actually follow.

APRA CPS 230
IRAP

Government-aligned context

Where government-aligned obligations apply, we run operations with IRAP context in mind, aligning logging, access and data-handling with the assessment frameworks so a formal review starts from a defensible baseline.

IRAP-ready
Support Tiers

Three tiers, mirrored from CloudOps.

These mirror the tiers on our CloudOps managed-services service. Our CloudOps page is the global CloudOps and managed-services service page and stays the parent; this page owns the Australian intent and links up to it. Full tier detail lives on CloudOps.

TIER 01 · STANDARD

Standard, business hours

Business-hours support with monthly reviews. The right fit for a stable workload that needs steady operation, monitoring and monthly cost and capacity reporting without round-the-clock cover.

Business hoursMonthly reviewsMonitoring
TIER 02 · PRO

Pro, extended hours

Extended-hours support with weekly reviews and priority response. Suited to a busier or growing environment where issues need faster attention and the cadence of review steps up from monthly to weekly.

Extended hoursWeekly reviewsPriority response
TIER 03 · ENTERPRISE

Enterprise, 24/7

24/7 support with a dedicated team and defined SLAs. Built for production-critical workloads that need round-the-clock cover, a team that knows the environment, and service levels written down and measured.

Proof, Not a Promise

An Adelaide engagement, on the record.

We completed AWS cost optimization and database modernization for an Adelaide client, who left a five-star review on Clutch. You can read the detail in the case study. We reference only that scope, cost optimization and database modernization, and we do not claim any other Australian case study.
Common Questions

Managed AWS in Australia, answered.

If your question is not here, ask it on the call. We would rather scope honestly than win the work and disappoint you once we are running your account.

Which AWS region should Australian companies host in?+
For most Australian workloads, ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) is the default. It has been live since 2012 and carries the deepest AWS service catalogue in the country, with three Availability Zones so Multi-AZ hosting is straightforward. ap-southeast-4 (Melbourne), which opened in 2023, is a strong second site for disaster recovery or for Victorian workloads that want in-state residency. We host and operate whichever region fits your data-residency and latency needs, and we keep your data in-country.
How does 24/7 support work with an India-based team?+
The Australian business day overlaps our core hours in the late morning and afternoon, roughly 11:00 to 16:00 AEST, which is when reviews, change windows and live calls are scheduled. Outside that window, overnight incidents are handled by on-call engineers under your SLA. That overlap is materially better than a US-based partner, and the round-the-clock cover does not depend on anyone in Australia working through the night. We are honest about this: we do not run a local office.
Can you take over an AWS account someone else built?+
Yes, that is a common starting point. We begin with a one to two week assessment of the existing account, mapping what is running, where the risks sit, and what needs cleaning up, then we transition you into a support tier. Everything stays in your AWS account, so the handover is a change of who operates it, not a migration of where it lives.
Do you cover Essential Eight and APRA operations?+
Yes. We run operations with Essential Eight, APRA and IRAP context rather than treating compliance as an afterthought. Patching cadence, backup verification, logging and access control are set up to support those frameworks, and our own ISO 27001:2022 certification underpins the same controls. See our Essential Eight and APRA CPS 230 pages for how we structure regulated AWS environments.
What does managed AWS cost?+
Managed AWS is a monthly retainer that scales with how complex your account is and how much cover you want, from business-hours support up to 24/7 with defined SLAs. There are no invented figures on this page, because the right number depends on your environment. We share full pricing on the first call, with no gated discovery.
Do we keep control of our AWS account?+
Yes. Everything runs in your own AWS account, which you own and retain full access to. We operate it for you under agreed permissions, and you can see exactly what we do. If you ever move on, there is nothing to untangle, because the account was always yours.
