Cloud that's right-sized,
not over-engineered.
Your 'Frankfurt region' AWS account is still US-owned infrastructure — the CLOUD Act reaches it. Your bill compounds faster than your workloads. Nobody can rebuild the environment from scratch because it was clicked together in a web console. We quantify your actual CLOUD Act exposure, migrate to IaC-first architecture, and right-size spend. Typically production-ready in under 8 weeks.
Last reviewed:
The European Commission's 2024 cloud strategy explicitly warns that hosting on US-hyperscaler infrastructure creates regulatory exposure under the CLOUD Act, even when servers are physically located in the EU.
The problem
Cloud costs grow but clarity doesn't. Migration was copy-paste. You're running three data warehouses across two providers and still can't answer basic questions about cost drivers or sovereignty.
Symptoms
- "Frankfurt region" treated as EU-sovereign — it isn't under the CLOUD Act
- Cloud bill growing 30%+ per quarter with no clear driver or accountability
- Infrastructure clicked together in a web console — no code, no audit trail, no bus factor
- Locked into one vendor with no exit strategy and rising egress fees
- Multiple data warehouses, none of them the "source of truth"
Best fit for
- You're on AWS/GCP in EU regions but worried about US legal reach
- Cloud spend is growing without clear ownership or cost attribution
- Infrastructure was built in a web console — no IaC, no audit trail
- You want an exit strategy from vendor lock-in before it becomes urgent
Not ideal for
- Pure lift-and-shift migrations with no architectural change
- Companies with existing IaC, solid cost governance, and no sovereignty concerns
- Single-application deployments that don't warrant an architecture review
Our approach
Assessment
Map your actual CLOUD Act exposure, current costs, and vendor lock-in risk. "Frankfurt region" ≠ sovereign — we quantify the gap.
Blueprint
IaC-first architecture design on the right provider (AWS EU, GCP EU, Hetzner, OVH). Cost-tagged and right-sized from day one.
IaC implementation
Everything in Terraform or Pulumi. Version-controlled, peer-reviewed, rebuildable from scratch in minutes. Zero console-clicking.
Migration
Move workloads with zero downtime. Data stays in EU at every step. Kill unused resources and optimize as you go.

Cloud architecture consulting involves designing right-sized, EU-sovereign infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Hetzner with infrastructure-as-code, cost optimization, and data residency compliance. We architect and migrate data platforms with IaC, cost controls, and CLOUD Act risk mitigation.
