How we approach this work
Frequently asked questions
What does AWS infrastructure management actually include?
It covers everything between your application code and AWS itself: EC2 and RDS provisioning, IAM and network security, CloudWatch monitoring, automated backups with tested restores, cost optimization, and CI/CD pipelines, run as an ongoing operation rather than a one-time setup. The goal is an AWS account where nothing depends on one person remembering how it was configured.
How much does managed AWS infrastructure cost?
MatrixKloud publishes fixed monthly retainers rather than open hourly billing: Growth at $1,000/month for agencies running multiple environments, and Priority at $2,500/month for mission-critical setups needing 24/7 on-call. One-off work (a migration, an incident, a single audit) is quoted per engagement instead of forced into a monthly shape.
Who owns our AWS account once you start managing it?
You do, permanently. MatrixKloud operates inside your AWS account using roles you grant and can revoke at any time, and every credential and piece of documentation stays yours, including a full handover if the engagement ends.
Can you take over an AWS account nobody has documented properly?
Yes. That's the most common starting point, not an edge case. The engagement opens with an audit that documents the real state of EC2, IAM, networking, backups, and cost before anything is changed, so the first fixes target actual production risk rather than guesswork.
Are you an AWS MSP, or an outsourced CTO?
Functionally both, without the branding overhead of either. We operate as an AWS managed services provider for the day-to-day work (EC2, RDS, IAM, monitoring, cost control) and as an outsourced CTO for businesses that need senior technical ownership of their infrastructure without a full-time hire. To be precise about status: MatrixKloud is not an AWS Partner Network member, so nothing here implies certified MSP status. What you get is one accountable engineer running your AWS environment the way an in-house lead would.
Does this replace hiring an in-house DevOps engineer?
For most growing agencies and SaaS teams, yes. A full-time DevOps hire runs $8,000-$14,000/month loaded, against $1,000-$2,500/month for the same operational coverage under a retainer. Where a business genuinely needs a full-time person embedded in product decisions day to day, that's a different need than infrastructure operations, and we'll say so rather than oversell the fit.
What happens if something breaks outside business hours?
On the Priority plan, an on-call engineer responds within one hour, 24/7. Growth covers extended hours Monday through Saturday with a four-hour response target, which is enough for most environments that are not mission-critical around the clock.
Do you handle VPS and Linux servers too, or only AWS-native services?
Both, under the same retainer. Many agencies and businesses run a mixed environment, with some workloads on AWS and some on self-managed VPS or Linux servers running nginx, Docker, PHP, MariaDB, or Redis. This service covers all of it as one accountable partner rather than treating AWS and self-managed infrastructure as two separate engagements.
Ready to operate your AWS environment properly?
If you are stabilizing a fragile AWS account, migrating onto AWS, or scaling a production workload, MatrixKloud can audit your setup and operate it under a clear managed retainer.
