Cloud Review · 5 business days
Find out where your cloud loses money and takes risks.
In five business days, with read-only access, a senior engineer reviews your costs, reliability, security and delivery pipeline — and hands you a written report with a prioritised plan.

- 04Written report and plan
(01) — Is it for you?
Signs it is time for a review.
- The cloud bill keeps growing and nobody can say exactly why.
- Deploys are manual, slow or depend on one person.
- There are backups, but nobody has tested a restore.
- Access keys and permissions have piled up without a review.
- An outage or a slow week has already cost you customers.
- An audit, a funding round or a due diligence is coming up.
(02) — What we review
Four areas, one report.
Reliability
What breaks when something fails: single points of failure, autoscaling, backups and restores, monitoring and alerts.

Security
Who can do what, and what is exposed: identities and permissions, public endpoints, secrets in code and pipelines, encryption and logs.
- IAM & permissions
- Exposed services
- Secrets
- Encryption & logs
Delivery
How a change reaches production: CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code coverage, Kubernetes configuration and environments.

See the products we run(06) — Questions
Before you ask.
Which clouds do you cover?
AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, including Kubernetes — managed (EKS, AKS, GKE) or self-hosted.
Do you need write access?
No. The review runs on a read-only role that you create and can revoke at any time. Nothing in your environment is changed.
How much does it cost?
A fixed price, quoted before we start and sized by your environment: accounts, clusters and services. No hourly billing and no surprises.
Why pay when some partners review for free?
Free reviews are usually paid for later — by reselling your cloud bill or by a monthly support contract. Ours is paid for on its own, so its only interest is finding problems: Albion does not resell cloud and takes no cut of what you spend.
Do we need meetings?
No. Scope, access, questions and delivery can all happen in writing. If you prefer a call, we book one at a time that works for both sides.
Can you sign our NDA?
Yes. We work under your NDA, and we never mention clients or their data publicly.
And after the review?
Nothing is mandatory. Your team can execute the plan on its own, or we can take on the items you choose, each at a fixed price.
