Cloud & DevOps Consulting Services for US & EU Teams

YuSMP Group helps mid-market product and engineering teams move to AWS, Azure, and GCP — and run them well. Senior cloud architects and DevOps engineers handle migration, Kubernetes, Terraform-based infrastructure as code, CI/CD, SRE, and FinOps under GDPR-aligned, ISO 27001 ready, SOC 2 Type II in-progress controls. Yerevan delivery with daily East-Coast overlap, 9 AM–1 PM ET.

We deliver end-to-end cloud and DevOps engagements: discovery and target-state architecture, lift-and-shift or replatform migration to AWS, Azure, or GCP, Kubernetes platform build-out, GitHub Actions and ArgoCD pipelines, Terraform-managed environments, Prometheus/Grafana and Datadog observability, and ongoing SRE. FinOps is built in from day one — tagging, rightsizing, savings plans, and unit-economic dashboards — so cost and reliability move together. Engineers join your standups, code in your repos, and ship against SLOs your business actually uses.

What you get from a YuSMP cloud and DevOps engagement

Migration without downtime

We move production workloads to AWS, Azure or GCP using strangler patterns and parallel runs. Cutover happens during business hours, not at 3 am.

Kubernetes, when it pays

EKS, AKS and GKE platforms with sane defaults: GitOps, network policies, autoscaling and cost guardrails. We refuse complexity that has no business case.

CI/CD that ships hourly

Trunk-based pipelines on GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, signed artifacts, SBOMs, automated promotion, and a path from commit to production in under fifteen minutes.

FinOps with teeth

Tagged resources, per-team chargebacks, savings plans and idle-resource detection. Customers regularly cut bills by 20 to 40 percent in the first quarter.

Secure by default

CIS benchmarks, IAM least privilege, secrets management, runtime threat detection. ISO 27001 controls and SOC 2 evidence collection wired into the pipeline.

Observability you can trust

OpenTelemetry traces, structured logs, SLOs and meaningful alerts. On-call rotations stop being a tax once you can actually see your system.

How we deliver — from discovery to steady-state SRE

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Two-week assessment of workloads, dependencies, costs, compliance and team skills, ending in a target architecture and migration plan.

  2. 02

    Design

    Landing zones, network topology, identity, dual data residency (EU and US) and disaster recovery designs, all expressed as Terraform modules and ADRs.

  3. 03

    Build

    Workloads migrated in waves, with feature flags and shadow traffic, GitOps deployment, and automated rollback at the first SLO breach.

  4. 04

    Run

    Platform team enablement, on-call playbooks, monthly cost and reliability reviews, and a backlog of platform improvements your team can own.

Engagement models

Fixed Price

For bounded migrations, landing-zone setups and FinOps audits with a clear scope and target deadline.

Time & Materials

For ongoing platform work where priorities shift weekly. Senior squad, weekly demos, capacity reviewed monthly.

Dedicated Team

A long-running platform engineering squad embedded in your organization, owning reliability, security and developer experience.

Why US & EU teams pick YuSMP

GDPR-aligned · ISO 27001 ready · SOC 2 Type II in progress · HIPAA-capable · CCPA-acknowledged

Aligned across CET & ET time zones

SREs on a CET workday with East-Coast US overlap (9 AM–1 PM ET), on your incident bridge, with shared Slack and shared on-call schedules.

Senior-only engineering

Every cloud lead has run platforms in production. We do not pilot Kubernetes for the first time on your cluster.

GDPR + CCPA & ISO 27001 ready

EU regions / EU keys / EU support for EU clients; US regions / US-only KMS keys / US support for US clients on request. ISO 27001 controls baked in, SOC 2 Type II in progress, PCI DSS scoping for fintech estates, HIPAA-capable for health workloads.

For payment platforms we operate inside PCI DSS scope, work with your QSA on segmentation, key management and logging, and document evidence as part of every release.

Frequently asked questions

AWS, Azure or GCP — which cloud should we pick?

We pick by workload, region availability (EU and US), existing skills and total cost of ownership over three years. EU SaaS typically land on AWS Frankfurt or Azure West Europe; US workloads land on AWS us-east-1/us-west-2 or Azure East US; data-heavy ML often goes GCP. We will not push a preferred logo.

How long does a typical cloud migration take?

A lift-and-shift of a mid-size SaaS lands in three to four months. A re-platform onto Kubernetes with rebuilt CI/CD, observability and IaC usually takes six to nine months including a parallel-run period.

Can you help us cut our current cloud bill?

Yes. A FinOps audit takes two to three weeks and typically uncovers 20 to 40 percent of waste through right-sizing, savings plans, storage tiering and idle workload retirement. We share the playbook so savings stick.

Do we have to use Kubernetes?

No. Kubernetes is great when you need multi-team isolation, complex networking or polyglot workloads. For smaller estates, ECS, App Service, Cloud Run or even managed PaaS stay cheaper and simpler. We recommend the smallest tool that fits.

How do you address GDPR and US data residency in the cloud?

We default to EU regions for EU clients (GDPR + data residency, EU-only KMS keys, EU support contracts, EU CDN edges); we deploy to US regions with US-only KMS keys for US clients (SOC 2 + CCPA + HIPAA where required), with US-resident support and US CDN edges. Where cross-Atlantic services are unavoidable, we apply DPF, SCCs and data-minimization patterns and document the decision.
