Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure Services
Why Infrastructure Matters in the Cloud
Cloud is more than “someone else’s data center.” The right cloud infrastructure and services determine how reliably your applications run, how secure your data is, and how quickly you can respond to change. Poorly planned infrastructure shows up as outages, security gaps, spiraling costs, and frustrated teams.
In contrast, well-architected cloud infrastructure:
- Provides consistent environments across dev, test, and production
- Aligns networking, identity, and security with your governance model
- Scales with demand you plan for and automatically when needed, without blowing your budget
- Allows you to be proactive and not reactive to bottlenecks and threats
- Supports modern practices like DevOps, SecOps, containerization, and automation
- Prepares your organization to take full advantage of AI, data platforms, and evolving cloud services
- Gives you peace of mind for business continuity and disaster recovery
- Empowers your teams to innovate and deliver while respecting governance, security, and your cloud spend
Infrastructure is where cloud maturity is won or lost. SPR helps you evaluate where you are today and design the environment you actually need.
SPR’s Core Cloud Infrastructure Services
Our cloud infrastructure services cover the full lifecycle, from initial design to ongoing refinement, so your teams can build and run applications with confidence. We introduce the latest AI tooling to accelerate your team’s adoption of cloud best practices and move from reactive responses to automated and proactive approaches.
Architecture & Environment Design
We design cloud infrastructure and services that align with your business and technical goals. This includes account and subscription structures, landing zones, VPC/VNet design, identity and access management, and environment patterns for dev, test, and production. Our designs draw on SPR’s cloud enablement work helping organizations unlock the full value of the cloud while improving security and efficiency.
Networking, Connectivity & Identity
We configure secure, resilient connectivity within and across clouds and data centers (VPC/VNet peering, VPNs, private endpoints, and direct connections) as well as identity integrations with services like Microsoft Entra ID and AWS IAM. This foundation ensures your applications, data platforms, and cloud application infrastructure services can communicate safely and predictably.
Containers, Kubernetes & Platform Integrations
From container platforms like Amazon Elastic Kubernetes (EKS) and Azure Kubernetes (AKS) Services to serverless architectures and PaaS offerings, we design and implement platform layers that support modern application development. We integrate CI/CD pipelines, secrets management, logging, and policy controls so teams can deploy reliably without sacrificing governance.
Automation, Infrastructure as Code & DevOps Enablement
We utilize the latest AI tooling to accelerate the development of your infrastructure pipelines and simplify the management of your cloud infrastructure. We use automation and infrastructure as code (IaC) to make your cloud infrastructure repeatable and auditable. Whether you’re using tools like Terraform, ARM/Bicep, or AWS CloudFormation, we build templates, pipelines, and guardrails that support fast, safe change, aligned with cloud change management best practices.
Monitoring, Reliability & Operations
We implement monitoring, logging, and alerting strategies that give you clear visibility into uptime, performance, and cost. Information that allows you to identify trends and adjust before the events or automation to avoid impact all together. Using native tools like Amazon CloudWatch and Azure Monitor, alongside third-party observability platforms, we help you define SLIs/SLOs and operational playbooks so your cloud infrastructure service is stable and predictable.
Security, Compliance & Governance
Security isn’t bolted on; it’s built in. We align your infrastructure with cloud governance and security frameworks, such as policies, controls, tagging strategies, and role-based access, so you can strengthen cloud security, optimize resource management, and maintain compliance as you scale.

How We Support Your Broader Cloud Strategy
Our Approach to Building Stable, Secure Cloud Environments
Every organization is at a different point in its cloud journey, but the path to stable, secure infrastructure follows a familiar pattern. SPR’s approach combines proven methodology with flexibility to match your needs.
- Discovery & Environment Assessment
We start with an inventory of your current environments, tools, and workloads, plus an understanding of your regulatory, security, and performance requirements. This includes reviewing existing cloud accounts, on-premises infrastructure, and current cloud services usage. - Target Architecture & Roadmap
Based on your goals, we design a target-state architecture: landing zones, network topology, identity model, and operational practices. We then define a phased roadmap to move from your current state to the desired future state without disrupting critical services. - Build & Automate
We implement the architecture using AI Tooling, infrastructure as code, automating as much as possible. This includes creating reusable templates, CI/CD pipelines, and policy controls so new environments can be deployed quickly and consistently. - Integrate, Harden & Optimize
We connect applications, data platforms, and integrations to the new environment, apply security hardening, and tune for performance and cost. This may include leveraging serverless architectures, managed services, or container platforms where appropriate. - Handoff, Enablement & Documentation
We provide detailed runbooks, diagrams, and documentation, and lead training sessions for your engineering, operations, and security teams. The goal is clear: your teams should feel confident operating and evolving the environment long after the project ends. - Ongoing Partnership & Evolution
For clients who want continued support, we remain engaged to review new initiatives, evaluate changes, and evolve your cloud infrastructure service over time, especially as AI, data, and application needs grow.

Cloud Infrastructure Success in Action

Cloud Infrastructure Success in Action
A retirement benefits company needed to migrate critical systems to the cloud while planning for future growth and strict regulatory requirements. SPR assessed their landscape, including security and governance needs, third-party infrastructure tools, and upcoming systems that would move to or be built for the cloud. We then developed a cloud infrastructure strategy that:
- Defined a scalable, secure architecture for multiple environments
- Standardized tooling and management approaches to avoid fragmentation
- Supported immediate migrations while laying a foundation for long-term operations
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a cloud infrastructure engagement take?
It depends on scope and starting point. Some clients begin with a focused engagement, such as designing a new landing zone or remediating a single environment, that can be completed in a matter of weeks. Broader initiatives that combine infrastructure design, cloud migrations, and governance can extend over several months in phased releases.
SPR aligns timelines with your priorities, existing cloud services, and internal capacity, providing a clear roadmap so you can see progress at each stage of your cloud engagement.
Can you rework an existing environment?
Yes. Many of our projects start by assessing and improving an existing cloud environment rather than building from scratch. We review your architecture, networking, security controls, automation, and operations, then recommend a pragmatic path to remediation.
Sometimes that means targeted fixes; other times, it means introducing new patterns like landing zones, better governance, or infrastructure as code so change is manageable moving forward.
Do you support hybrid or multi-cloud environments?
Absolutely. Our clients often run a mix of on-premises systems, private clouds, and public cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP. SPR helps you design connectivity, identity, and governance that work across these environments, so you can make the most of each platform without creating silos.
We focus on patterns (networking, security, automation) that can be applied consistently, regardless of where workloads run.
How do you ensure security from day one?
Security is built into our cloud infrastructure and services approach, not added later. We incorporate identity and access management, network segmentation, encryption, logging, and policy compliance into the initial architecture and automation.
Our work is grounded in SPR’s cloud governance and security practices, which emphasize clear ownership, standardized configurations, and continuous improvement, so your environment is secure from the first deployment and stays that way as you grow.
