OpsDevCo
Platform Engineering Advisory
AWS Kubernetes / EKS Terraform Cost + Scaling

Stabilize and optimize your AWS & Kubernetes platform before it gets expensive or fragile.

OpsDevCo helps engineering teams simplify EKS, reduce cloud waste, and refactor Terraform into maintainable systems — without adding full-time headcount.

Quiet, high-leverage engagements. No long contracts. Most work is async-friendly.

Services

Platform Health Assessment

Deep review of AWS/EKS/Terraform with a written findings report and prioritized action plan.

Cost + Scaling Optimization

Fix real cost drivers: compute waste, node strategy, autoscaling/Karpenter patterns, and workloads.

Terraform Structure Overhaul

Refactor for maintainability: environment separation, safer workflows, reduced plan/apply risk.

Karpenter / Node Lifecycle Strategy

Design and implement predictable, cost-effective node provisioning and consolidation behavior.

Architecture Review

Validate major platform decisions before you commit: networking, cluster layout, and guardrails.

Fractional Platform Advisor

Ongoing senior guidance (a few hours/week) for CTOs and platform leads—without hiring.

How it works

1) Quick intro (15 minutes)

Confirm the problem, constraints, and what success looks like. If it's not a fit, I'll say so.

2) Review + access

Usually read-only: billing, EKS, IaC repos, and observability. Minimal disruption to your team.

3) Findings + roadmap

You get a prioritized plan: quick wins, medium fixes, and deeper structural improvements.

4) Targeted fixes

I implement or pair with your team. Most engagements are async-friendly and time-boxed.

If you're hiring for "Senior DevOps / Platform / SRE" because things are getting messy, this is often a faster and lower-risk way to stabilize before adding headcount.

Engagement options

Transparent pricing. No long contracts. If you need something different, it will be scoped clearly.
