Services — Operational Excellence

We run it. You grow.

Day-2 operations, 24/7 monitoring, patch management, incident response, and capacity planning — handled by the same team that built your platform. You focus on customers, we keep the lights on.

Operations Scope

Full-stack operations

Not just infrastructure monitoring — we operate every layer from hardware to customer experience.

Infrastructure Operations

OpenStack and OpenShift health, node management, capacity monitoring, and performance tuning. We keep the foundation solid so your services stay online.

Node health monitoring
Capacity planning
Performance tuning
Hardware lifecycle

Platform Operations

Provisioning pipeline health, Kafka cluster management, database maintenance, and API gateway performance. The platform runs 24/7 — so do we.

Database maintenance
API monitoring

Security Operations

Certificate rotation, vulnerability patching, access reviews, and incident response. Security is continuous — not a one-time audit.

Day-2 Operations

What we do every day

Recurring operational activities that keep your platform healthy, secure, and performing — with defined frequencies and outcomes.

Patch Management

OS, Kubernetes, OpenStack, and application patches applied with staged rollout and automated validation

Weekly / Critical: < 24h

Backup Verification

Automated backup tests with restore drills. Monthly full-recovery simulation to validate RTO/RPO targets

Daily

Capacity Planning

Resource utilization analysis, growth projection, and scaling recommendations before you hit limits

Monthly

Security Scanning

Vulnerability scanning, CVE tracking, and remediation across infrastructure and platform components

Weekly

Certificate Rotation

TLS certificates auto-renewed 30 days before expiry. No manual intervention, no expired certs

Automated

Performance Review

Latency analysis, query optimization, caching review, and infrastructure right-sizing recommendations

Monthly
Incident Management

When things break, we fix them

A structured 5-step incident response process — from automated detection to blameless post-mortem. Every incident makes the system stronger.

01

Detect

Automated monitoring detects anomaly — metric threshold breach, health check failure, or error rate spike

02

Alert

On-call engineer notified via PagerDuty within 60 seconds. Alert includes context: affected service, severity, recent changes

03

Triage

Engineer assesses impact scope — affected tenants, service degradation level, blast radius. Customer communication triggered if SLA impacted

04

Resolve

Root cause identified and mitigated. Runbook-driven response for known issues, escalation path for novel failures

05

Review

Blameless post-mortem within 48 hours. Timeline, root cause, customer impact, and preventive actions documented and tracked

Why Cloud Factory

Operations by the builders

Your platform is operated by the engineers who designed and built it. No knowledge gaps, no handoff friction.

We Built It — We Run It

The same team that designed your architecture and deployed your infrastructure operates it. No context gaps, no handoff friction. Continuity from day one.

Platform-Aware Operations

We don't just monitor servers — we understand the entire stack. Provisioning failures, billing anomalies, Kafka lag — we see the business impact, not just the metric.

Runbook-Driven

Every known failure mode has a documented runbook. On-call engineers follow structured procedures, not guesswork. This means faster resolution and consistent quality.

Continuous Improvement

Monthly optimization reports, quarterly architecture reviews, and annual infrastructure audits. Your platform gets better over time — not just maintained.

Focus on growth. We handle the rest.

FAQ

Common Questions

Yes, with an onboarding assessment. We audit your existing infrastructure, document the architecture, create runbooks, and deploy our monitoring stack. There's typically a 2-4 week ramp-up period before we reach full operational coverage. If we find critical issues during the assessment, we'll flag them before taking over.

Traditional MSPs monitor hardware metrics and restart services. We operate the full stack — infrastructure, platform, business logic, and customer experience. We understand that a Kafka consumer lag spike means orders aren't being fulfilled, not just 'a metric is high.' Our operations team is the same team that builds the platform.

All changes follow a structured process: change request → impact assessment → staging validation → maintenance window → staged rollout → post-change verification. For critical patches (zero-day CVEs), we have an expedited process that skips staging but adds extra monitoring during rollout. All changes are tracked and reversible.

Detection within seconds, engineer on the problem within 15 minutes (Enterprise) or 1 hour (Professional). Real-time status updates via your preferred channel. Blameless post-mortem within 48 hours with root cause, timeline, impact assessment, and preventive measures. We share incident reports openly — no hiding.

Yes. Support tiers are monthly contracts. You can scale up to Enterprise before a product launch or peak season, and scale back to Professional during quieter periods. Most clients start with Professional and upgrade to Enterprise as their customer base grows beyond 500 active services.
