AWS Cloud Engineering

Cloud and Data
Engineering Services

End-to-end AWS cloud solutions — from migration and modernization to containerized platforms, automated pipelines, and compliance-ready data infrastructure.

Cloud transformation requires more than lifting and shifting workloads — it demands a disciplined approach to architecture, security, and operational excellence. MilkyWayTech brings proven AWS expertise to every phase of your cloud journey, designing and delivering environments that are scalable, secure, cost-efficient, and aligned to enterprise and federal compliance requirements including FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, and FISMA.

Cloud & Data Services

Cloud Migration & Modernization

Assess, plan, and execute the migration of on-premises applications and infrastructure to AWS. We redesign architectures for cloud-native patterns — containers, serverless, and microservices — ensuring minimal downtime and risk.

  • Application discovery and migration assessment
  • AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
  • Lift-and-shift to cloud-native re-architecture
  • AWS Landing Zone and Organizations setup

Cloud Infrastructure Management

Provision and manage AWS infrastructure with Terraform and CloudFormation, enforcing environment consistency, drift detection, and version-controlled changes across dev, test, and production environments.

  • EC2, EKS, ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, ALB/NLB
  • Terraform reusable module development
  • Auto Scaling and high-availability design
  • Multi-environment parity management

DevSecOps & CI/CD Engineering

Build enterprise-grade delivery pipelines that embed security from day one. Our pipelines integrate automated testing, security scanning, artifact signing, and controlled promotion workflows for auditable, repeatable delivery.

  • GitLab CI, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline
  • SonarQube SAST and JFrog artifact management
  • Kubernetes rolling deployments with Helm
  • Secrets Manager rotation and compliance gates

Database & Storage Solutions

Architect and manage relational, NoSQL, and object storage platforms to meet performance, scalability, and durability requirements. We implement encryption, backup automation, and performance tuning for production-grade data environments.

  • RDS / Aurora design and management
  • DynamoDB table design and optimization
  • S3 lifecycle policies, encryption, and replication
  • Automated backup and point-in-time recovery

Cloud Security & Compliance

Implement and document security controls aligned to FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, and FISMA requirements. From IAM policy hardening and encryption key management to continuous compliance monitoring and ATO documentation.

  • FedRAMP Authorization to Operate (ATO) support
  • IAM roles, policies, and permission boundaries
  • KMS key management and EBS/S3 encryption
  • AWS Security Hub, Config, and CloudTrail

Cloud Cost Optimization

Analyze cloud resource consumption, eliminate waste, and implement intelligent cost controls that maximize return on your cloud investment without sacrificing performance or reliability.

  • Resource right-sizing and utilization analysis
  • Reserved Instance and Savings Plans strategy
  • Cost allocation tagging and budget alerting
  • Automated scheduling for non-prod environments
