Cloud Engineering
Migration, modernisation and FinOps across hyperscalers.
Cloud is not a destination — it is an operating model. TDS Global engineers cloud infrastructure, platform architectures and operating practices that give organisations the speed, resilience and cost efficiency that cloud promises but rarely delivers without intentional design.
Our approach to cloud engineering.
We design and build cloud platforms on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud — covering infrastructure, networking, security, containers, serverless and data services. Our work includes greenfield cloud-native builds, data centre migrations, cloud-to-cloud moves and ongoing FinOps optimisation.
What we build and deliver within this practice.
Cloud Migration
Lift-and-shift, replatforming and refactoring workloads to cloud with minimal disruption and risk.
Cloud-Native Architecture
Designing microservices, serverless and container-native platforms for scale, resilience and operational simplicity.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform, Pulumi and CDK-based infrastructure automation ensuring reproducibility and security by default.
Kubernetes & Container Platforms
Designing and operating production-grade Kubernetes clusters on managed and self-hosted infrastructure.
Cloud Security & Compliance
Security architecture, IAM design, network segmentation and compliance controls baked into every layer.
FinOps & Cost Optimisation
Continuous cost governance, rightsizing, reserved capacity strategy and cloud cost accountability models.
Where we apply this practice across sectors.
Technology & SaaS
Kubernetes platform engineering and multi-region cloud architectures for high-availability SaaS products.
Financial Services
Secure, compliant cloud migrations with PCI-DSS and SOC 2 Type II controls.
Healthcare
HIPAA-compliant cloud architectures for patient data and clinical application hosting.
Retail
Auto-scaling cloud platforms that handle peak trading seasons without performance degradation.
Manufacturing
Hybrid cloud architectures connecting on-premise OT systems with cloud analytics platforms.
Government
Sovereign cloud deployments with strict data residency and compliance requirements.
