AWS reliability and cloud networking consulting

RTZ Labs provides AWS reliability engineering – reviewing account and network architecture, failure domains, scaling limits, and the structural cost drivers in production AWS environments.

Most AWS reliability problems are architectural rather than operational: a workload spread across availability zones that still shares a single point of failure, service quotas nobody tracked until they were hit, or a network path whose cost and latency both grow with traffic. We review the estate as it actually runs, using its own metrics and configuration as evidence.

All expertise

What we do with AWS

  • Review account structure, VPC design, and cross-AZ and cross-region traffic paths
  • Identify single points of failure that survive a nominally multi-AZ deployment
  • Analyze load balancer configuration and the edge path into your services
  • Track service quotas and scaling limits before they become incidents
  • Codify infrastructure in Terraform, replacing manual changes and environment drift
  • Identify structural cost drivers – data transfer, idle capacity, and storage class choices
  • Review backup, recovery, and the gap between stated and tested recovery objectives

Problems we are called in for

Usually described this way before anyone knows the cause.

The architecture is nominally multi-AZ but has never been tested against losing one
AWS costs grow faster than traffic and the driver is not obvious
Infrastructure changes are made by hand and environments have drifted apart
A service quota was hit in production without warning
Recovery procedures exist on paper but have not been exercised

Scope and boundaries

AWS is our primary cloud. We do not offer a full security audit or compliance certification, though baseline posture is covered in the assessment.
