Asterion Gridworks

Services built for growing infrastructure

Four focused practice areas that cover the operational surface of modern cloud environments. Each service is designed to reduce complexity, increase visibility, and strengthen resilience.

Cloud Foundations

What it solves

Organizations moving to the cloud often lack the foundational structure needed for long-term operational success. Without clear landing zones, identity governance, and network architecture, complexity compounds quickly. Cloud Foundations establishes the structural baseline your infrastructure needs to remain manageable, secure, and cost-aware as it grows.

Typical deliverables

  • Multi-account landing zone design and implementation
  • Identity and access structure with least-privilege principles
  • Network architecture and segmentation strategy
  • Migration planning and workload prioritization
  • Infrastructure-as-code practices and repository structure
  • Comprehensive documentation and operational runbooks

Ideal for

Organizations planning their first major cloud migration, those restructuring existing cloud environments, or teams preparing to scale their infrastructure while maintaining operational control.

Managed Cloud Operations

What it solves

Running cloud infrastructure day-to-day requires constant attention: monitoring, alert management, patching, incident response, and capacity planning. Without dedicated operations support, these tasks either consume internal teams or get neglected. Managed Cloud Operations provides the ongoing operational coverage your environment needs without requiring you to build a large internal platform team.

Typical deliverables

  • 24/7 monitoring coverage with intelligent alert routing
  • Alert tuning and noise reduction to surface meaningful signals
  • Patch coordination and change management processes
  • Incident response coordination with clear escalation paths
  • Capacity review and resource planning
  • Regular operational reporting and executive summaries

Ideal for

Organizations with production cloud environments that need reliable ongoing operational support, teams struggling with alert fatigue, or companies that want to free internal engineers to focus on product and feature work rather than infrastructure maintenance.

Security & Resilience

What it solves

Security and resilience are often treated as afterthoughts—until an incident exposes gaps in backup strategy, access controls, or recovery procedures. Security & Resilience helps you build proactive defenses, test your recovery capabilities, and establish the governance practices that keep your environment defensible and recoverable.

Typical deliverables

  • Backup strategy design and verification testing
  • Disaster recovery planning and documentation
  • Access reviews and privilege governance
  • Configuration baseline establishment and drift detection
  • Vulnerability visibility and prioritization framework
  • Tabletop exercises and incident response rehearsals

Ideal for

Organizations preparing for compliance audits, those that have experienced incidents and want to strengthen their posture, companies handling sensitive data, or teams that recognize their recovery capabilities haven't been tested recently.

Cloud Cost Intelligence

What it solves

Cloud costs can spiral without visibility, governance, and intentional optimization practices. Teams often discover overspending only when invoices arrive, with little ability to trace costs to specific workloads or understand what's driving growth. Cloud Cost Intelligence brings clarity to your spend, establishes guardrails, and creates a continuous optimization practice.

Typical deliverables

  • Tagging strategy and cost allocation framework
  • Spend visibility dashboards and reporting
  • Budget alerts and anomaly detection
  • Rightsizing reviews and resource optimization
  • Reserved instance and savings plan analysis
  • Executive-ready cost narratives and forecasting

Ideal for

Organizations experiencing unexpected cloud cost growth, those preparing for budget planning cycles, companies that need to demonstrate cost accountability to leadership, or teams that want to establish a sustainable FinOps practice.
