Cloud and DevOps
Infrastructure That Scales
We architect, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure that is secure, scalable, and cost-effective. From CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes clusters, we ensure your applications run smoothly and your team can deploy with confidence. **Why Launchwork Digital for cloud & DevOps?** We design infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) from day one — your cloud setup is version-controlled, documented, and reproducible, not a collection of manual console changes. Our London team handles AWS, GCP, and Azure, with a security-first approach covering IAM, encryption, and GDPR-compliant data handling. Learn about our deployment methodology.
Cloud DevOps covers infrastructure design, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, and monitoring for UK businesses running applications on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. UK businesses should expect faster deployments, reduced downtime, and lower infrastructure costs through automation. Launchwork Digital architects infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) from day one, with security-first design covering IAM, encryption, and GDPR-compliant data handling — typical engagements run 4–12 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our cloud and devops services.
Which cloud provider should I use: AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure?
Each has strengths. AWS has the broadest services and UK data centres. Google Cloud excels at data analytics and machine learning. Azure integrates best with Microsoft tools. For most UK businesses, we recommend AWS or Google Cloud. We're certified on all three and will recommend based on your needs.
How can DevOps reduce our development costs?
DevOps automation eliminates manual deployment work (typically saving 10-20 hours per week), catches bugs before production (reducing emergency fixes), and enables faster feature releases. Most clients see ROI within 3-6 months through reduced downtime and faster delivery.
What does cloud migration involve?
We assess your current infrastructure, design the target architecture, migrate data and applications in phases (starting with non-critical systems), test thoroughly, and provide team training. Migrations typically take 4-12 weeks depending on complexity.
How do you ensure cloud security?
We implement defence in depth: network security (VPCs, firewalls), identity management (IAM, MFA), encryption (at rest and in transit), monitoring (CloudWatch, alerts), and regular security audits. We follow AWS/GCP security best practices and can help with compliance (GDPR, ISO 27001).
What is cloud DevOps and does my UK business need it?
Cloud DevOps combines infrastructure management with automated deployment pipelines so your applications run reliably and your team can ship updates without manual server configuration. UK businesses typically need DevOps when they: run customer-facing applications where downtime costs money, manage data subject to UK GDPR requiring auditable infrastructure, deploy updates more than once a month, or have outgrown a single-server setup. For a static brochure website, managed hosting (Vercel, Netlify) handles most DevOps concerns automatically — you don't need a dedicated DevOps engagement until you run backend services, APIs, or databases.
How much does DevOps support cost for a UK business?
DevOps support for UK businesses typically falls into three tiers: monitoring-only retainers at £250–£500/month (uptime monitoring, alerting, monthly health reports), managed infrastructure at £750–£2,000/month (CI/CD pipeline management, security patching, scaling, backup management, 4-hour response SLA), and dedicated DevOps at £3,000–£8,000/month (embedded engineer, architecture design, compliance auditing, 1-hour response SLA). One-off infrastructure setup projects — Terraform architecture, CI/CD pipeline build, cloud migration — typically run £5,000–£20,000 depending on complexity. We quote fixed prices after a scoping call.
