Cloud & DevOps Company in Atlanta

Workload count and compliance surface set the number on an Atlanta cloud engagement long before tooling choices do. The shapes are a scoped AWS or GCP landing zone build at Atlanta rates over six to ten weeks, covering Control Tower or Organization setup, networking, IAM baseline, logging, and a reference workload, a Kubernetes platform build (EKS or GKE with GitOps, observability, and policy guardrails), or a full multi-account migration from on-prem or another cloud, scaled by workload count and compliance scope. Managed DevOps and SRE retainers are scoped separately. No Georgia state income tax helps Atlanta engineering payroll, and we give fixed-fee proposals instead of open T and M.

AWS us-east-1 in Northern Virginia is the closest AWS region and the default for most Atlanta workloads, with sub-12ms latency on direct paths. GCP us-east1 in Berkeley County, South Carolina sits about 220 miles from downtown Atlanta and is what The Home Depot anchored during its GCP migration. Azure East US 2 in Virginia is the Azure default. For disaster recovery we pair us-east-1 with us-east-2 (Ohio) on AWS or us-east1 with us-central1 on GCP. For FedRAMP Moderate workloads tied to CDC or HHS contracts we deploy into AWS GovCloud (US) East or Azure Government Virginia.

Yes. The 2017 Equifax breach exploited Apache Struts CVE-2017-5638, which had a patch available for months, and the post-incident reviews surfaced gaps in asset inventory, vulnerability management, network segmentation, and credential hygiene. Our security baseline addresses every one of those: SBOM generation in CI, automated CVE scanning with Trivy or Wiz, mandatory patch SLAs by severity, zero-trust network segmentation on Kubernetes with NetworkPolicy and service mesh, short-lived credentials through IAM Roles Anywhere or OIDC federation, and continuous posture monitoring through Security Hub or Prisma Cloud. We deliver a control matrix mapped to NIST 800-53 and CIS Benchmarks that your CISO can defend to a board.

Yes. Atlanta hosts CDC headquarters and a large HHS contractor base, and FedRAMP Moderate is the typical authorization tier for federal civilian workloads. We deploy into AWS GovCloud (US) or Azure Government, implement the NIST 800-53 Moderate control baseline, produce the System Security Plan (SSP), the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), and the continuous monitoring artefacts a 3PAO assessor will require. We also handle the HIPAA overlay common to CDC-adjacent work, which adds breach notification, BAA management, and audit logging requirements on top of FedRAMP. Final ATO sits with the agency and the JAB or sponsoring agency authorizing official.

The Northern District of Georgia remains one of the most active ADA Title III web-accessibility venues in the United States, and Atlanta retailers, banks, and healthcare networks face demand letters and lawsuits at meaningful volume. Our DevOps and platform work integrates accessibility testing (axe-core, Pa11y, Lighthouse a11y) into CI pipelines, blocks merges on WCAG 2.1 AA failures, and emits accessibility evidence reports your legal team can attach to a defence file. We also instrument production with synthetic accessibility checks so regressions surface before a serial filer does. Final legal exposure assessment sits with your counsel.

The Georgia Personal Identity Protection Act (PIPA) governs breach notification for personal information of Georgia residents, requires reasonable security practices, and obligates timely notice to affected individuals and the Attorney General when thresholds are met. Our landing zones default to encryption at rest (KMS, Cloud KMS, Azure Key Vault) and in transit (TLS 1.2+ everywhere, mTLS inside the mesh), centralized audit logging with immutable retention, and incident response runbooks that meet PIPA timelines. For healthcare clients we layer HIPAA, and for fintech we layer PCI DSS 4.0. The control mapping is documented so legal and risk teams can answer regulators without a separate vendor engagement.

We are not Delta, but we have shipped resilient cloud platforms for airline-adjacent and logistics clients where the 2016 Delta outage and the 2024 CrowdStrike-related disruptions defined the bar for resilience engineering. Our designs assume regional failure, use multi-region active-active or warm standby with documented RTO and RPO, exercise failover quarterly, and route traffic with Route 53 or Cloud DNS health checks against real SLO data. Chaos engineering (Gremlin, AWS Fault Injection Service) runs against staging before production. The runbooks we hand over describe exactly what an on-call engineer does in the first 15 minutes of a regional event, in plain English.

A typical Atlanta SaaS or fintech migration takes sixteen to thirty weeks from kickoff to cutover, assuming reasonable application hygiene and a defined compliance scope. Week 1 to 4 is discovery, landing zone, and a pilot workload. Week 5 to 14 is migration waves grouped by blast radius and dependency. Week 15 to 22 is cutover, parallel run, and decommissioning. Week 23 onward is optimisation and FinOps. Larger Home Depot-style multi-year migrations obviously run longer, and we have patterned client roadmaps after the public GCP migration playbook Home Depot ran from 2014 onward. We give fixed-fee phases instead of an open T and M migration estimate.
