AWS Cloud Health Check
Tailored AWS consultancy
Why this fits your objective:
The AWS Cloud Health Check is the natural starting point. It provides a multi-pillar baseline across security, spend, resilience, and operational risks so you gain immediate clarity on where to focus.
Key Engagement Focus:
How Kervora Cloud Works
A disciplined four-stage process that prioritises clarity, evidence, and controlled execution at every step.
Scope
Understand the environment, objectives and agreed boundaries before access or technical work begins.
Assess
Review the agreed AWS areas using evidence rather than assumptions.
Explain
Turn technical findings into prioritised, plain-English recommendations.
Improve
Where requested, implement approved changes with controlled delivery, validation and evidence.
Your AWS environment stays under your control.
Granting third-party access to cloud infrastructure requires absolute confidence in handling, intent, and boundaries. Kervora adheres to strict, transparent operational rules designed to safeguard your environment at all times.
Scope Agreed in Advance
We never perform scans or touch infrastructure outside agreed target accounts and pre-defined architectural boundaries.
Least-Privilege Role Access
Assessments use read-only AWS managed policies (such as SecurityAudit or ViewOnlyAccess) tailored strictly to what is needed.
Temporary, Controlled Access
We recommend cross-account IAM role assumption with external IDs or AWS IAM Identity Center sessions rather than static user accounts.
Zero Root Credential Handling
We will never ask for, accept, or handle root account credentials. Root access is never required for consulting reviews.
No Credential Transmission via Email
We explicitly instruct clients never to send AWS passwords, IAM secret keys, or private SSH keys via email or web forms.
Independent Assessment & Approval
Assessment is strictly separate from implementation. No changes are ever applied to your environment without prior written sign-off.
Validation & Change Evidence
Any approved implementation is validated against recorded test steps and configuration evidence before handover.
Immediate Access Revocation
Once work is delivered, client teams simply revoke or delete the assumed IAM role, leaving zero lingering access.
What you receive from an engagement
Depending on the engagement, Kervora provides concise, actionable documentation structured for both engineering teams and business leadership.
Clear Findings
Understand what was identified without having to interpret raw AWS JSON output or cryptic console logs.
Prioritised Actions
Separate urgent risks from useful operational improvements and longer-term architectural considerations.
Supporting Evidence
Where appropriate, findings reference the specific AWS resource IDs, configuration lines, and metrics observed.
Practical Recommendations
Recommendations clearly explain what could be changed, why it matters, and the operational trade-offs involved.
Defined Next Steps
Use the review as a clear foundation for internal engineering, Kervora implementation, or specialist partner delivery.
Why partner with Kervora Cloud
We are intentionally lean, technical, and founder-led. You receive direct expertise, rigorous evidence, and pragmatic advice without consultancy overhead.
Direct Technical Contact
Speak directly with the person assessing your environment rather than being passed through layers of account management and junior coordinators.
Clear Communication
Technical findings explained in practical business language, ensuring leadership and engineers share the same operational picture.
Defined Scope
Work is agreed before delivery begins so expectations, boundaries, and technical scope remain clear and controlled.
Evidence First
Recommendations are supported by what is actually found in your AWS environment rather than vendor marketing scripts or generic checklists.
No Unnecessary Complexity
We recommend AWS services and architectural patterns because they solve genuine business requirements, not simply because they exist.
Shaun Estcourt
Owner & Cloud Consultant
AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate
Direct technical engagement without intermediary sales layers.
Enterprise infrastructure discipline applied to AWS
Kervora Cloud was established by Shaun Estcourt to offer businesses something increasingly rare in the cloud consultancy market: direct access to an experienced, hands-on practitioner who actually inspects and works on your environment.
Shaun has extensive hands-on experience working with enterprise infrastructure including servers, networking, storage and datacentre technology, and has moved that experience into AWS architecture, migration, Infrastructure as Code and cloud infrastructure.
Because Kervora is deliberately founder-led, there is no dilution of accountability. You don't meet a senior architect during the sales discussion only to have your account handed to an unsupervised junior graduate. Shaun scopes the engagement, reviews the configurations, writes the plain-English report, and leads any approved implementation work.
Technical Portfolio
Demonstration architectures, migration laboratories, and Infrastructure as Code codebases showcasing engineering patterns and implementation rigor.
Multi-AZ Resilient Web & Database Architecture
A highly available, fault-tolerant infrastructure baseline deployed across two Availability Zones featuring an Application Load Balancer, auto-scaling compute, and Multi-AZ Amazon RDS.
Workload Migration & Database Cutover Lab
A hands-on migration laboratory demonstrating discovery, schema conversion, and near-zero-downtime replication from on-premises virtual machines to AWS native services.
Terraform Modular Cloud Foundation
Reusable Infrastructure as Code modules codifying VPC networking, security baselines, CloudTrail audit trails, and encrypted S3 state backends.
Frequently asked questions
Straightforward answers regarding our consulting scope, access procedures, deliverables, and implementation boundaries.
An AWS Cloud Health Check is an independent, evidence-led review of your AWS environment across key operational pillars: security controls, identity permissions, resource waste, backup coverage, monitoring, and architecture resilience.
