Our approach

How Our Managed Cloud Services Work

Managed cloud services take day-to-day operations off your engineers: monitoring, incident response, patching, backups, access and cost. Our teams in the USA and India share the clock, and they work in your tooling, through code, so you can see and reverse everything they do.

Illustration for Managed Cloud Operations
  • 01

    Engineers on every shift

    Alerts go to engineers who can fix the problem, not a first-line desk that forwards it.

    • Named engineers who know your estate
    • Escalation paths agreed up front
  • 02

    Changes in code, not consoles

    Every infrastructure change goes through Terraform and review, so nothing drifts and everything is auditable.

    • Change history in Git
    • Rollback for every change
  • 03

    Recovery you have tested

    Backups are only useful if restores work, so we test them on a schedule and report the results.

    • Restore tests on a set cadence
    • Recovery targets agreed per system
  • 04

    Cost and security in the routine

    Every month includes a cost review and a configuration check against security baselines.

    • Monthly cost review with actions
    • Misconfigurations flagged and fixed
  • Operations coverage

    Four Pillars of Managed Cloud Operations

    Every managed cloud services plan includes all four, scaled to your estate.

    24/7 monitoring and response

    Health, performance and availability monitoring with incident response and escalation around the clock.

    Patching and lifecycle

    Operating system, runtime, database and Kubernetes version updates on a planned schedule.

    Backup and disaster recovery

    Backups, cross-region copies and tested restores against agreed recovery targets.

    Cost and configuration hygiene

    Monthly cost review, right-sizing, and checks against security and tagging baselines.

    Fit check

    Are Managed Cloud Services a Fit for You?

    A good fit if

    • You run production on AWS, Azure or GCP without a full operations team.
    • Your engineers are on call more than they should be.
    • You need evidence of patching, backups and access reviews.
    • You want operations done in code you own.

    The wrong start if

    • You want someone to click changes in the console with no review.
    • You will not share monitoring or access to your accounts.
    • You need on-site data-centre hardware support.
    FAQs

    Managed Cloud Services FAQs

    Managed cloud services are an outside team taking responsibility for running your cloud environment day to day: monitoring, incident response, patching, backups, access changes and cost reviews. At Maatara these are delivered by engineers working through code in your own accounts, with monthly reporting so you keep full visibility.

    Managed cloud services are an outside team taking responsibility for running your cloud environment day to day: monitoring, incident response, patching, backups, access changes and cost reviews. At Maatara these are delivered by engineers working through code in your own accounts, with monthly reporting so you keep full visibility.

    We manage AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, including Kubernetes clusters on EKS, AKS and GKE. Most clients run mainly on one cloud; we support multi-cloud estates where they exist and keep monitoring, runbooks and reporting consistent across them, so one team can see everything.

    Response targets are agreed per service in the proposal, based on how critical each system is and the coverage hours you choose. Critical incidents are acknowledged and worked by an engineer immediately, around the clock under 24/7 plans, with escalation to your team as agreed.

    No. You own the accounts and the code. We work with roles you grant and can revoke, all changes go through review in your repositories, and you see the same dashboards we do. Monthly reports summarise every change and incident.

    Everything we build or change is in your accounts and repositories, documented with runbooks. We provide an exit and handover pack and can pair with your team during the transition, so operations move back in-house, or to another provider, without a gap in coverage.

    As a monthly plan set by the size of the estate, coverage hours and services included, with a fixed-scope onboarding project first. After a free operations review we send a fixed-price proposal, with no hidden costs and separate from your cloud provider bill.
