CloudTrail-backed change records
Every change ships with an audit trail: CloudTrail logs, Config rules, a Terraform diff, and an updated runbook in your knowledge base.
Our AWS clients cut the monthly bill without touching uptime metrics
Two recent AWS engagements. Full spend and availability figures under MNDA; we walk the numbers on a scoping call.
Cloud and Data engagement,
AWS cloud program
Dcrayon ran a Well-Architected review, moved us to Graviton and Savings Plans, and handed us an EC2 and RDS bill we can explain line by line.
MNDA
Monthly AWS spend, before and after
90 days
Idle capacity retired
AWS engagement: solutions architect, Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor audit, right-sized EC2 with S3 lifecycle rules. Either side can pause the retainer at day 90.

Mid-market cloud and data brand,
AWS plus migration program
Our AWS bill kept climbing with no clear owner. Dcrayon tagged every resource, removed orphaned EBS volumes and Elastic IPs, and set CloudWatch alarms so it stays in check.
MNDA
Reserved Instance and Savings Plan coverage
90 days
Right-sized workloads counted
AWS engagement paired with a move off self-managed servers onto ECS and RDS. A free Cost Explorer readout in week one set the spend baseline.

What Dcrayon changes in your first 90 days on AWS
A short walkthrough of a Dcrayon AWS engagement, from your first Well-Architected readout to a tagged, tuned, and monitored account with a clear cost picture.
AWS controls we set up on your account
What comes standard on every Dcrayon AWS account we run
Each control below maps to a line in your Well-Architected review, set up and verified by the architect assigned to your account.
Anomaly and cost forecasting
DcrayonAI watches your CloudWatch metrics and Cost Explorer trends, flagging spend anomalies and configuration drift as they appear.
FinOps and cost tagging
Cost allocation tags plus monthly reviews surface idle EC2, oversized RDS, and untagged spend.
You see cost per environment, not one lump bill total.
Security baseline on every account
Every account ships with GuardDuty, Security Hub, and Config enabled, IAM least-privilege roles, and encryption defaults mapped to SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
Three methods we run on every AWS account
Score, Formula, DcrayonAI: the Well-Architected diagnostic, the quarterly plan, and the monitoring toolkit we run on every AWS account.
Dcrayon Score (AWS axis)
AWS Well-Architected Review across all six pillars, 150 checks in total. We grade operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability against your real workload data. Free on every proposal call.
Dcrayon Growth Formula (AWS sequencing)
The quarterly plan that ties each AWS change back to one number you choose: monthly bill, recovery time, or uptime. Scoped to fit inside one quarter.
DcrayonAI (AWS toolkit)
Our internal toolkit runs Trusted Advisor and Compute Optimizer sweeps, then writes a prioritized remediation list your finance team can budget.
How Dcrayon runs AWS accounts
Three repeatable practices that stack AWS gains across cycles.
Step 1: Score
Free Dcrayon Score readout in one business day. We pull Trusted Advisor, Cost Explorer, and a Well-Architected pass, then hand you one 0-100 number plus the full gap list. No follow-on commitment.
Step 2: Plan
A written 90-day AWS plan tied to one operational metric you pick, from p99 latency to the monthly bill. A senior architect designs your landing zone and codes it in Terraform. Every SoW lets either side stop, with no annual lock-in.
Step 3: Compound
Weekly working sessions with your senior architect, plus a monthly summary your finance team can read. Cycle one hardens IAM and VPC boundaries, cycle two raises adoption, cycle three automates deploys and cost guardrails.
Other Cloud and Data solutions
Sibling Dcrayon services inside the Cloud and Data category. Programs clients often layer alongside AWS Cloud Services.
Why teams hand us their AWS account
A named AWS architect on every account
No junior engineers practicing on your bill. The architect who scopes your AWS account is the one who keeps running it.
Well-Architected review before you commit
A written diagnostic and a fixed estimate follow your first call, not a long discovery phase you pay to sit through.
Monitoring built in, not bolted on
Every AWS account we run ships with anomaly detection, cost forecasting, and drift alerts wired into CloudWatch and Cost Explorer.
A monthly review finance can read
Weekly sessions plus a monthly report tied to one number: your bill, your uptime, or your recovery time. No jargon for finance to translate.

AWS Cloud Services FAQs
Onboarding begins once the contract is signed and read-only account access is granted. We open with a Well-Architected review, then scope the first cycle of work.
Both. Some clients use us as their full AWS team; others use us as a senior architect and escalation layer beside their in-house engineers. We scope per account.
Most AWS engagements start at Rs 4 to 8 lakhs per month in India, or USD 6 to 15 thousand per month globally. Audit-only reviews start lower.
