Cloud & DevOps Company in Kochi

Migration ambition is the variable here — a landing zone, one application, or a core: a scoped AWS, Azure, or GCP landing zone with RBI Master Direction alignment, Terraform infrastructure-as-code, baseline CI/CD, observability stack, and a documented exit plan, a lift-and-shift of a single legacy application with refactoring of stateful components and CI/CD wiring, or a multi-year banking core or NBFC modernisation (Federal Bank or Manappuram scale) run across phases with measurable cost-take-out and RPO/RTO improvement KPIs. Smart City Kochi SEZ clients can be billed in USD with IFSC-aligned tax treatment where eligible. We quote fixed-fee per phase rather than open T and M, and proposals include the FinOps tooling cost-take-out projections.

The RBI Master Direction (RBI/2023-24/102 dated April 10, 2023) applies to commercial banks, NBFCs, urban cooperative banks, payment system operators, and credit information companies. It mandates board-approved IT outsourcing policy, due diligence on cloud providers, exit strategy with quantified switching costs and tested fallbacks, Concentration Risk Assessment if more than 30 percent of critical workloads sit with one provider, data sovereignty inside India for sensitive customer data, BCP/DR with documented RTO and RPO per workload, and Audit Right clauses in cloud agreements. For Federal Bank, South Indian Bank, Manappuram, Muthoot, and ESAF, we build the cloud landing zone with these provisions baked into the Terraform module library, the runbooks, and the contractual schedule with AWS, Azure, or GCP. CERT-In 6-hour incident reporting and DPDP Act 2023 obligations layer on top.

Yes, with caveats. IBS Software runs an unusually mature Azure-and-AWS hybrid for its iFly, iCargo, iLogistics, and iHospitality products serving 200+ global airlines and tour operators with strict SLAs. Our team has shipped similar globally-distributed SaaS architectures in Toronto, Singapore, and Dubai, but for airline-grade IATA NDC, GDS integration, and PCI DSS Level 1 workloads we recommend a joint engagement model rather than a solo bid: Codazz delivers the cloud landing zone, CI/CD, observability, and FinOps, while you keep the airline domain logic with your existing IBS Software, Sabre, or Amadeus engineering teams. We do not pretend to be a substitute for genuine PSS or DCS engineering depth, and we will say so on the first call.

We typically take 18 to 35 percent off AWS, Azure, or GCP spend in the first six months through Reserved Instances or Savings Plans, Spot or Preemptible nodes for batch and dev workloads, right-sizing through Compute Optimizer or Azure Advisor, S3 Intelligent-Tiering and EBS gp3 migration, RDS Aurora Serverless v2 where read patterns permit, and CloudFront or Azure Front Door consolidation. Beyond month six, FinOps shifts to architecture-level changes (event-driven serverless on Lambda or Azure Functions, ARM-based Graviton or Ampere Altra for compute-heavy workloads, Karpenter on EKS for bin-packing). We report monthly with a Finance-readable INR-denominated cost waterfall, not vendor-marketing dashboards, and we tie savings to specific Jira tickets so attribution survives auditor scrutiny.

Yes. KSUM operates from Technopark Trivandrum and the satellite Infopark Kochi presence, and runs the Kerala Startup Mission grant programmes including the Innovation Grant, Productisation Grant, Scaleup Grant, and the Idea Days demo programmes. Our scoping for KSUM-backed founders aligns to the grant milestones, produces the auditable deliverables KSUM officers require for tranche release, and avoids over-engineering for a stage that does not need it. We routinely deliver a working MVP cloud stack (AWS or GCP), CI/CD, observability, and a documented runbook within a KSUM-grant-sized envelope, then deepen on Series A capital when the unit economics actually warrant it.

RBI's data localisation directives (the original 2018 payment data directive and the broader sovereignty position embedded in DPDP Act 2023) require payment data and increasingly broader categories of personal data to remain within India. Our defaults route all storage and primary inference to AWS ap-south-1 (Mumbai), ap-south-2 (Hyderabad), Azure Central India (Pune), Azure South India (Chennai), or GCP asia-south1 (Mumbai) and asia-south2 (Delhi NCR). Cross-region replication for DR stays inside India between Mumbai and Hyderabad rather than crossing borders. For analytics and ML workloads where data minimisation allows non-personal data to leave India under DPDP Section 16 (pending notified blacklist), we document the legal basis explicitly in the data processing schedule. CERT-In incident reporting wires into the SOC playbook with 6-hour notification automation.

Yes, and it is the most common ask from Infopark and Technopark Trivandrum clients. We standardise on GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps with branch protection, mandatory code review (CODEOWNERS), signed commits where regulatory clients require it, container image signing through Cosign and Sigstore, SBOM generation via Syft, vulnerability scanning through Trivy or Snyk, and GitOps deployment through Argo CD or Flux. Pipeline run-time stays under 15 minutes for typical microservice repos through caching and parallelisation. Distributed-team workflow guidance covers IST core hours, async PR review SLAs, and a documented trunk-based or release-branch strategy depending on team maturity. Output includes a developer onboarding runbook in English (Malayalam glossary on request for senior team education sessions).

Kochi sits in a Tier-3 data centre region but is genuinely flood and monsoon exposed (the 2018 Kerala floods caused multi-day outages at multiple Infopark tenants, and Cyclone Tauktae in 2021 brought a fresh round of BCP scrutiny). Our DR architecture for Kochi clients defaults to active-passive between AWS ap-south-1 (Mumbai) and ap-south-2 (Hyderabad), or Azure Central India (Pune) and South India (Chennai), with documented RTO and RPO per workload tier rather than a blanket policy. For Federal Bank and similar RBI-regulated tier-1 clients we run annual full-failover tests with documented witness logs. For SMB clients on tighter budgets we deliver pilot-light DR with infrastructure-as-code that can spin up the secondary region on demand. BCP documentation aligns to the RBI Cyber Security Framework and your insurance carrier's BCP attestation requirements.
