Cloud Architecture & Migration
Your infrastructure is either accelerating your business or holding it back. There is no neutral ground.
The Problem
Most enterprises are stuck in one of three places: legacy on-premises infrastructure bleeding OpEx, a half-finished cloud migration that created more complexity than it solved, or a single-cloud dependency that limits negotiating leverage and resilience.
The consequences are measurable. Provisioning takes weeks instead of minutes. Scaling requires capital expenditure approvals. Disaster recovery plans exist on paper but have never been tested. Your best engineers spend 40% of their time managing infrastructure instead of building product.
Meanwhile, your competitors have already migrated. They ship faster, scale dynamically, and operate at a fraction of your cost per transaction.
Our Approach
We do not sell cloud migrations. We architect cloud-native operating models that fundamentally change how your organization builds and delivers technology.
Every engagement starts with a comprehensive assessment of your current infrastructure, application portfolio, and organizational readiness. We map dependencies, identify quick wins, and build a phased migration plan that delivers value from month one -- not month twelve.
Our methodology follows a six-phase framework:
- Assess -- Current state analysis, workload profiling, cost modeling, and risk identification
- Strategize -- Target architecture design, cloud provider selection, migration wave planning
- Design -- Infrastructure as Code templates, network topology, security architecture, CI/CD pipelines
- Build -- Landing zone deployment, automated provisioning, monitoring and observability stack
- Migrate -- Application-by-application migration with rollback procedures and validation gates
- Optimize -- Right-sizing, reserved instance strategy, FinOps dashboards, continuous improvement
We are cloud-agnostic. AWS, Azure, GCP, or multi-cloud -- the architecture serves the business requirements, not a vendor partnership quota.
Key Capabilities
- Cloud Strategy & Roadmap -- Multi-year transformation plans with business case justification and executive alignment
- Landing Zone Architecture -- Production-ready cloud foundations with security guardrails, networking, and IAM baked in
- Infrastructure as Code -- Terraform, Pulumi, and CloudFormation modules for repeatable, auditable infrastructure
- Application Modernization -- Lift-and-shift, re-platform, re-architect, or rebuild -- matched to each workload's profile
- Multi-Cloud & Hybrid -- Kubernetes-based abstractions that prevent vendor lock-in without adding operational overhead
- FinOps & Cost Optimization -- Real-time cost visibility, anomaly detection, and automated right-sizing recommendations
- Disaster Recovery & Resilience -- Active-active and active-passive architectures with tested failover procedures
- Cloud Security Architecture -- Zero trust network design, encryption at rest and in transit, compliance automation

Why BAG
We are not a cloud reseller. We do not staff junior consultants with certification badges and call it architecture. Our team has led cloud transformations at organizations managing billions in assets, processing millions of transactions, and operating under the strictest regulatory requirements in financial services and insurance.
Every architect on our team has built production systems at scale. We write the Terraform, review the pull requests, and stand behind the architecture in production.
