Frequently Asked Questions About Cloud Engineering

What cloud engineering services do you offer?

We offer end-to-end cloud engineering support, including network architecture design, secure landing zones, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), hybrid connectivity, cloud firewalling, tagging and monitoring strategies, and more. Our goal is to help you build a robust, secure, and scalable cloud environment that aligns with your business goals — whether you’re starting a new project or optimising an existing cloud estate.

Do I need internal cloud skills to work with Opticore?

Not necessarily. While we’re happy to work alongside your internal teams or external partners, many of our clients rely on us to fill the gap in cloud and networking expertise. We act as an extension of your IT function, providing both technical leadership and hands-on delivery — from concept to go-live.

How does Opticore support Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)?

We design and implement infrastructure-as-code using tools like Terraform, Bicep, and ARM templates — enabling you to deploy, manage, and version your cloud environments with confidence. This reduces manual configuration errors, accelerates time to value, and supports change control and rollback capabilities essential for compliance-driven environments.

Can you help us meet cloud compliance and governance standards?

Yes. Our cloud engineering approach embeds security and compliance from the start. We help clients align with frameworks like ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, NCSC guidance, and sector-specific standards.
We implement best practices such as:

  • Secure by default network policies
  • Audit-ready logging and tagging
  • IAM (Identity and Access Management) strategies
  • Separation of duties and environment boundaries
  • Cost visibility via resource tagging and budget alerts
What cloud platforms do you support?

We are vendor-agnostic and support Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and hybrid deployments involving on-prem data centres or private cloud. Our consultants help you select, architect, and connect the right platforms to meet performance, security, and cost objectives.

How do you handle cloud network design and performance?

We specialise in designing resilient, high-performance cloud networks — including VNet/VPC design, peering, transit gateways, express routes, and direct connects.
Our focus is on delivering:

  • Low-latency connections
  • Segmented and secure traffic flows
  • Scalable architecture to handle business growth
  • Integrated monitoring and alerting to maintain SLAs
Can you help us decide between AWS and Azure?

Yes — our cloud consultants provide platform evaluations and cost modelling to help you make the right choice.

Do different platforms require different engineering skills?

Yes — each platform has unique tools and services. Our engineers are certified across Azure, AWS, and GCP.

Do you handle cloud licensing as well?

Yes — we offer cloud licensing reviews and procurement across Azure, AWS, and GCP to support engineering and operational goals.

Can cloud engineering impact my ongoing cloud costs?

Absolutely. Our engineering approach includes optimisation, automation, and architecture decisions that reduce waste and improve cost-efficiency.

Will I need a support agreement for ongoing engineering work?

We offer flexible agreements — from one-off projects to retainer-based support for ongoing cloud platform evolution.
