Cloud & DevOps Services in Saudi Arabia

Cloud only pays off when it is engineered properly. We design secure, compliant, cost-efficient cloud platforms and the DevOps practices that let your teams ship safely and often.

Overview

Cloud & DevOps Services built for the Saudi regulatory environment

From first landing zone to full platform operations, we cover Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — with security, NCA Cloud Cybersecurity Controls and Saudi data residency designed in from day one.

What we deliver

Our cloud & devops services

The full capability list is published deliberately — it is what your procurement team needs to see, and what captures the long-tail searches your peers actually type.

Cloud Strategy, Advisory & Architecture

Decide with evidence, not vendor slides. We build the business case, the target architecture and the sequencing plan.

  • Cloud readiness and maturity assessment
  • Cloud strategy, operating model and adoption roadmap
  • Total cost of ownership and business case modelling
  • Workload placement and rationalisation (6R) analysis
  • Target cloud architecture and well-architected reviews
  • Hybrid and multi-cloud architecture design
  • Cloud governance, guardrails and policy-as-code
  • Cloud centre of excellence (CCoE) establishment
  • Exit strategy, portability and lock-in assessment

Landing Zones & Cloud Foundations

Build the platform once, correctly — identity, network, security, logging and cost controls in place before the first workload lands.

  • Azure Landing Zone and Cloud Adoption Framework implementation
  • AWS Control Tower, Organizations and multi-account foundation
  • Google Cloud and OCI foundation design
  • Subscription, tenancy and account structure design
  • Hub-and-spoke networking, ExpressRoute, Direct Connect and VPN
  • Identity federation and privileged access for cloud
  • Centralised logging, monitoring and security baseline
  • Tagging strategy, naming standards and guardrail policies
  • Cloud data residency and sovereign cloud design

Cloud Migration & Modernisation

Move without drama. Wave-planned, dependency-mapped, rehearsed and reversible.

  • Discovery, dependency mapping and migration wave planning
  • Rehost (lift and shift) server and VM migration
  • Replatform and re-architect for cloud-native services
  • Database migration and modernisation (SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL)
  • Microsoft 365, Exchange Online and SharePoint migration
  • Subscription, tenant and tenant-to-tenant migration
  • Data centre exit and colocation-to-cloud migration
  • VMware to cloud migration
  • Legacy application modernisation and containerisation
  • Cutover, hypercare and post-migration optimisation

DevOps, DevSecOps & Platform Engineering

Automation that removes manual release risk — and puts security checks inside the pipeline, not after it.

  • CI/CD pipeline design (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins)
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM, CloudFormation, Ansible)
  • GitOps and environment promotion workflows
  • Containerisation, Docker and image pipeline
  • Kubernetes (AKS, EKS, GKE, OpenShift) design and operations
  • Service mesh, ingress and API gateway engineering
  • DevSecOps toolchain integration and shift-left security
  • Secrets management and pipeline hardening
  • Release management, blue-green and canary deployment
  • Internal developer platform and self-service provisioning

Site Reliability, Observability & Resilience

Availability engineered and measured, not hoped for.

  • Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practice establishment
  • SLI, SLO and error budget definition
  • Observability stack design (metrics, logs, traces)
  • APM, synthetic monitoring and real user monitoring
  • Chaos engineering and resilience testing
  • Cloud backup, snapshot and immutable recovery design
  • Multi-region disaster recovery and failover automation
  • Capacity, performance and auto-scaling engineering
  • On-call, incident and postmortem practice design

FinOps & Cloud Managed Services

Someone has to own the cloud bill and the 3 a.m. alert. That can be us.

  • FinOps practice implementation and cost governance
  • Cloud cost assessment, rightsizing and waste elimination
  • Reserved instance, savings plan and commitment optimisation
  • Showback and chargeback model design
  • 24x7 managed cloud operations and monitoring
  • Patch, backup and configuration management
  • Managed Kubernetes and managed database operations
  • Cloud security posture management and remediation
  • Licence optimisation for Microsoft, VMware and Oracle on cloud
Outcomes

What you get

  • A secure, compliant landing zone delivered in weeks, not quarters
  • Migration executed with rehearsed cutovers and documented rollback
  • Deployment frequency up, change failure rate down
  • 20 to 40 percent cloud cost reduction typical in the first FinOps cycle
  • One accountable partner across architecture, build and run

Engagement

How we engage

Listen

A free 45-minute discovery call with a senior consultant to understand the business driver, the constraints and the deadline — before any solution is proposed.

Scope

A written scope with deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, timeline, team composition and fixed pricing wherever the scope allows. No unpriced obligations.

Mobilise

A named engagement lead, a named delivery team and a kick-off that confirms access, stakeholders and reporting cadence.

Deliver

Execution with weekly progress reporting, visible artefacts, and early escalation of anything that could affect timeline or cost.

Evidence

Documented, auditable deliverables — findings registers, control mappings, runbooks, architecture documents and test evidence written to withstand scrutiny.

Sustain

Handover and knowledge transfer, or managed operations under agreed SLAs — so the outcome holds after we leave.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which cloud platform should we choose?
It depends on your application estate, existing licensing, in-country data residency obligations, skills and commercial terms. NAZZTEC is certified across Azure, AWS, GCP and OCI, so our recommendation is based on your workloads rather than a single vendor relationship. We produce a weighted comparison and a three-year TCO model before you commit.
Can you migrate without downtime?
For most workloads, yes — using replication-based migration, phased cutover and read-only windows rather than full outages. Where zero downtime is not technically possible we define a minimal, agreed and rehearsed maintenance window with a tested rollback plan.
Do you provide ongoing support after migration?
Yes. Our managed cloud services cover 24x7 monitoring, patching, backup, security posture management, cost optimisation and change execution under agreed SLAs. Most clients start with a 30-day hypercare period and transition into a managed service.
How quickly can a landing zone be delivered?
A production-ready landing zone on Azure or AWS typically takes six to eight weeks including identity, network, guardrails, logging, cost controls and a migration runway. Complex multi-account or sovereign requirements extend this, and we tell you that up front.
