    AI cloud & infra

    The cloud estate AI workloads actually need

    Assessed with AI, built as code, run under FinOps. Cloud strategy, landing zones, migration, AI platform engineering and platform operations

    Cloud estate with servers, data stores and Kubernetes nodes connected into one AI-ready platform

    What is changing in cloud & infra?

    Infrastructure built for reports cannot run AI

    98%

    of FinOps teams now manage AI spend, up from 31% two years ago

    29%

    of IaaS and PaaS spend is wasted, the first increase in five years

    ~60%

    of cloud waste comes from idle compute and over-sized instances

    Use cases

    Which AI workload is waiting on your platform today?

    Clear gap list against AI needs

    An AI scan of IaC, configuration, quotas and usage produces a six-lens readiness scorecard. A cloud architect validates it.

    Infra ScannerSix readiness lensesCloud strategy

    Readiness assessment scorecard by lens

    Low-risk migration plan

    A dependency scan and AI-drafted wave grouping produce a wave plan with cut-over order. The architecture board approves it.

    Migration StudioDependency MapperMigration

    Legacy workloads moved

    Code translation and target-model regeneration produce translated jobs promoted via Git, with engineer review and CI.

    Migration StudioCode translationMigration

    Landing zone as code

    AI-generated IaC modules from approved patterns, reviewed and with policy checks passed. Peer review and policy as code.

    Landing zone as code: IaC modules as pull requests

    Private model access

    Gateway configuration and approved-model routing produce a model gateway with identity and budgets. The security owner approves it.

    Model access: token budget by agent

    Right-sized, attributed spend

    AI right-sizing and cost anomaly detection produce sizing fixes and cost by workload. The FinOps owner approves them.

    Three ways in. Where we start decides what is fixed first

    Modern glass office building

    Readiness-led

    Scan the whole cloud estate against the six lenses, then fix the worst gaps before AI workloads land.

    Executive reviewing financial charts on a tablet

    Migration-led

    Start from the estate being exited, whether data centre, legacy warehouse or ETL servers, and land it AI-ready.

    Connected global network map

    Workload-led

    Take one AI workload to production and build only the platform it needs, as a reusable pattern.
