Cloud Architecture & Consulting

Cloud architecture and consulting is the strategy, design and advisory work that sets a secure, resilient and cost-effective foundation for your cloud — cloud strategy and roadmaps, landing-zone and solution architecture, security and governance design, cost/FinOps architecture and Well-Architected reviews.

Schnell Technocraft provides vendor-neutral cloud architecture consulting across Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. We define the strategy, design the landing zone and target-state architecture, review against the Well-Architected pillars, and architect for security and cost from day one — with a clear business case. And because we can also build and run it, the architecture actually gets delivered.

Challenges We Solve

The problems good architecture prevents

No clear cloud strategy

Cloud adoption is happening in pockets without a roadmap, standards or a business case to steer it.

Fragile, ad-hoc architecture

Environments grown organically inconsistent, hard to secure, and expensive to run.

Security & compliance gaps

Guardrails and governance were an afterthought, and audits are getting harder.

Spiralling, unpredictable cost

No cost architecture spend grows faster than value, with little visibility or control.

What We Do

Architecture & advisory capabilities

From strategy to landing zone to Well-Architected review the foundation for a cloud that lasts.

Cloud strategy & roadmap

A prioritised, business-aligned cloud strategy and roadmap what to move, build, modernise and in what order.

Landing zone design

A secure, well-architected landing zone: identity, networking, subscriptions/accounts, guardrails and governance.

Solution & workload architecture

Reference and target-state architectures for your applications, data and platforms resilient and cost-aware.

Well-Architected reviews

Reviews against the cloud Well-Architected pillars reliability, security, cost, performance and operations.

Multi-cloud & hybrid strategy

A clear-eyed strategy for single, hybrid or multi-cloud placing each workload where it runs best.

Security & governance architecture

Zero-Trust, identity, policy and guardrails designed in from the start not bolted on later.

Cost & FinOps architecture

Architect for cost from day one tagging, budgets, right-sizing and reserved strategy baked into the design.

Migration & modernization advisory

Independent advice on the right migration path (6 Rs) and modernization approach for each workload.

Architecture governance & enablement

Standards, patterns, reference architectures and enablement so your teams build consistently and safely.

Governance & Standards

Reference patterns, policy, enablement

Security & Identity

Zero-Trust, IAM, guardrails, compliance

Applications & Data

Solution architecture, resilience, integration

Platform & Landing Zone

Subscriptions/accounts, networking, storage

Cost & FinOps

Tagging, budgets, right-sizing by design

Cloud Foundation

Azure, AWS, Google Cloud the right fit

Reference Architecture

A layered, well-architected foundation

We design the cloud as a clean set of layers — a secure foundation and landing zone at the base, applications and data in the middle, security, cost and governance woven through. Each layer follows proven patterns and the Well-Architected pillars.

The result is an architecture your teams can build on consistently — secure, resilient and cost-aware by design.

Design → Deliver

Advice you can actually build on

Strategy decks are easy; architecture that survives contact with delivery is harder. We design to be built — documented, reviewable and standards-based — and we can implement, migrate and run it too, so nothing gets lost in the handover.

Use Cases

Where we help most

Cloud landing zone

A secure, governed foundation ready to scale across teams and workloads.

Migration & modernization

An independent target architecture and the right path per application.

Multi-cloud strategy

A clear plan for placing workloads across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.

Well-Architected review

A pillar-by-pillar review with a prioritised remediation plan.

Our Approach

How we deliver

A proven method discover, define the strategy, design, validate and enable.

1

Discover & assess

Understand goals, workloads, constraints and current state; map dependencies and risks.

2

Define the strategy

Set the target state, guiding principles and a prioritised roadmap with a clear business case.

3

Design the architecture

Design the landing zone, solution and security/cost architecture documented and reviewable.

4

Validate & govern

Well-Architected review, standards and reference patterns so builds stay consistent and safe.

5

Enable & evolve

Enable your teams, then evolve the architecture as the business and cloud change.

The outcome

A clear cloud strategy and a secure, well-architected, cost-aware foundation your teams can build on with confidence plus a business case that justifies the move and a partner who can deliver it.

Deliverables

What you get

Why Schnell

Architecture you can trust

Vendor-neutral advice

Certified across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud we recommend the best fit, not a single vendor.

Architecture that lasts

Well-architected, secure and cost-aware foundations designed to scale, not to be re-done in a year.

A real business case

We quantify cost, savings and risk up front architecture as a decision, not a whiteboard exercise.

From advice to delivery

We can design and then build and run it one accountable partner, end to end.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Cloud architecture and consulting is the strategy, design and advisory work that sets the foundation for your cloud — including cloud strategy and roadmaps, landing-zone and solution architecture, security and governance design, cost/FinOps architecture, and Well-Architected reviews. It ensures your cloud is secure, resilient, cost-effective and aligned to business goals before and while you build.
A landing zone is a pre-configured, secure and governed cloud foundation — identity, networking, account/subscription structure, policy guardrails and baseline security — that lets you deploy workloads consistently and safely from day one, rather than building the basics over and over.
Both. As a certified partner across Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, we design single-cloud, hybrid or multi-cloud architectures based on your workloads, skills and goals — placing each workload where it runs best.
It's a structured review of your cloud environment against the Well-Architected pillars — reliability, security, cost optimization, performance efficiency and operational excellence — resulting in a prioritised list of findings and recommendations to improve your architecture.
We architect for cost from the start — a tagging and budget model, right-sizing, reserved/spot strategy and FinOps governance — so cost is a design decision, not a surprise on the bill.
Yes. Beyond strategy and architecture, Schnell can implement, migrate, modernise and run your cloud 24×7 under clear SLAs — so the architecture actually gets delivered and stays healthy.
