AWS Consulting & Managed Services

AWS consulting, projects, and managed services from the team that builds Quiverstone. Whether you run one AWS account or a portfolio of client Organizations, we help you see the estate, land governance that will stay, and keep it running.

What we do

Core AWS services

Strategy & architecture

Account and Organization strategy, well-architected design reviews, and a roadmap that fits your compliance needs, including GovCloud and FedRAMP-aware environments.

Management & governance

Control Tower and Organizations, guardrails, IAM and External ID trust, account contacts and break-glass, and cost visibility, kept consistent over time.

Migration & modernization

Moving workloads to AWS or tidying the ones already there: landing the target environment, planning cutovers, and leaving infrastructure as code behind.

Automation & AI on AWS

CloudFormation, CDK, and StackSets delivery, pipelines, and org-wide automation. Practical help adopting AWS-native AI services such as Amazon Bedrock inside your accounts.

Who it's for

Businesses on AWS, the practices that serve them, and the engineers who hold the accounts

Businesses running on AWS

Healthcare, transportation and logistics, local government, and other teams that depend on AWS but do not have a full-time cloud engineer, or have one who needs a second set of hands. You want someone accountable for the account, the bill, and the security findings.

MSPs and consultants

You run many clients at once — resale, managed services, and short professional-services jobs, each with its own AWS Organization. Bring us in as overflow or as specialist help, working from the same inventory and access your team already uses.

Cloud engineers

Platform and cloud engineers, inside a company or on a client team, with several Organizations, standalone accounts, or a Control Tower that no longer matches the diagram. You want something you can operate next week.

The problems

Multi-account chaos, governance that drifts, access that does not travel

Multi-account chaos

A handful of accounts is a challenge. A few hundred is lost visibility: member accounts that appeared over a weekend, standalones that never joined an Organization, and an inventory that still lives in a spreadsheet. “What are we responsible for?” should not take a day.

Governance that drifts

Organizations and Control Tower govern inside one Org. They do not keep a practice consistent across many of them. Billing, security, and operations contacts go stale. Break-glass accounts get overwritten. Guardrails exist in the account that was migrated carefully, and nowhere else.

Access that does not travel

Shared keys, per-client passwords, and one-off assume-role scripts do not survive a team. Profile tools help once an identity exists. They do not help when the client only gives you a role. We work from deploy-or-reuse, direct or chained, with an External ID, temporary credentials, and a CloudTrail event in the account you entered.

Ways to engage

Hourly consulting, scoped projects, and managed AWS

A small practice led by the founder. If a request is a product question, a short advisory call, or work we should not take, we will say so. Every engagement is scoped and agreed in writing before work starts.

Consulting & advisory

From $200/hr

Design reviews and targeted help, when you need an expert for hours rather than months.

Architecture, account strategy, and Organization changes
Access models, IAM trust paths, and new-client onboarding
Security, compliance, and cost questions
AWS-native AI, such as where Amazon Bedrock fits and how to keep it governed
Patterns we have published: org-wide contact automation, CloudFormation delivery, and CloudFront-oriented testing

Billed hourly. A direct line that is neither a product-support ticket nor a brand-new project.

Book time

Projects

From $2,500

Fixed-scope work with findings, deliverables, and a clear finish line.

Assessment: Organizations, landing zone drift, IAM trust paths, long-lived keys, and day-2 gaps, with a recommended sequence
Landed governance: an account structure the next engineer can explain, Control Tower where it fits, least-privilege roles via CloudFormation or StackSets
Migration to AWS and modernization of what is already there
Infrastructure as code and automation your team can keep

Scoped implementation. Not an open-ended staff bench. We do not invent a maturity score, and we do not attach a client’s name.

Request a proposal

Managed AWS

From $1,500/mo

Ongoing operations and governance on a monthly retainer, after the landing.

Monitoring, patching, and backup oversight
Account, contact, break-glass, and access hygiene
Security findings triage and monthly cost reviews
Change requests and Organization changes as you grow
Your estate inventoried in Quiverstone, so you see what we see

Business-hours support with response times agreed per engagement. Not a 24/7 NOC, and not a substitute for your on-call.

HOW THIS PAIRS WITH THE PRODUCT

The cockpit and the work around it

Quiverstone is the hosted cockpit for this same problem: Client → Org → Account inventory, and temporary role assumption with External ID, across unrelated client Organizations. Access is how people get in. Inventory is the map, including Control Tower-aware detection of the Audit and Log Archive accounts. Utilities are the reference tools — subnet planning, AWS IP ranges, region availability — that architects keep open while they work.

Consulting and managed services are the human work around that cockpit. An engagement can use the product, the tools you already have, or both.

We will recommend Quiverstone where it replaces spreadsheet inventory and access archaeology. That is the job it was built for: MSPs and consultants jumping many client estates, and platform teams with the same multi-Org pain. We will not treat a subscription as a stand-in for an assessment, a Control Tower landing, or a design review. You do not need a subscription to hire us, and you do not need to hire us to use the product. If the useful outcome is a trust policy and a contact standard, and you do not need us in the account after that, we will say so.

If you sell services of your own, the product is meant to sit underneath them. The launch post says it directly: the platform is there to empower your services, not to compete with them.

Book a demo or contact the team.

WHAT WE WILL NOT CLAIM

Kept honest

Named clients or case studies. We do not have permission to publish those here, so we do not invent them.
A 24/7 network operations center, or a substitute for your on-call rotation.
A formal uptime SLA for the product. It is early-stage and best-effort; you can watch status.quiverstone.io. Service response times are agreed in each engagement.
SOC 2 or ISO 27001 as a current certification. Those audits are planned; they are not done. See the FAQs.
That Control Tower, Organizations, or Identity Center should be ripped out. An engagement complements them. So does the product.

FIELD NOTES

Where this offering comes from

The public record is the writing, the product pages, and the background on About.

The single pane of glass for AWS multi-account chaos — why a portfolio of client Organizations is a different problem than one landing zone, and how inventory plus role assumption fits resale, managed services, and short professional-services work.
Automating contact updates across accounts — primary and alternate contacts from the management account, with an exclusion list so break-glass and other sensitive accounts are left alone.
Scaling performance testing with the AWS Distributed Load Testing solution — CloudFormation delivery, GitHub-hosted solution templates, multi-region runners, and CloudFront egress validation. That is the shape of technical delivery work we will take when it is in scope. It is not a standing load-testing package.
About describes past government cloud operations and contract support, and managed and professional services on the order of 50+ AWS Organizations under resell and partner-led support, with 500+ accounts under governance. That is background for how the practice was formed. It is not a client list.
