🧭

Cloud Adoption & Strategy

A pragmatic roadmap to the cloud — business case, target operating model and migration strategy aligned to your goals, not a vendor's checklist.

🧱

Secure Landing Zones

PBMM-aligned, scalable cloud foundations — org structure, IAM, networking, guardrails and policy-as-code — so every workload starts secure and compliant by default.

📐

Architecture Frameworks

Well-Architected reviews, reference architectures and governance standards that keep your estate consistent, secure and cost-efficient as it scales.

✈️

Cloud & App Migrations

Lift-and-shift to full re-architecture. We assess, plan waves and move workloads with minimal downtime and a clear rollback path.

🗄️

Data Migrations & Platforms

Move databases, warehouses and pipelines to the cloud — BigQuery, lakehouse and streaming platforms — with integrity, lineage and zero data loss.

⚙️

DevOps & Platform Engineering

Infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, GKE/Kubernetes, observability and SRE practices — golden paths that let your teams ship safely and often.

🤖

Agentic AI & Automation

AI agents, RAG assistants and intelligent automation embedded into real workflows — governed, measurable and built to deliver value, not hype.

🚀

Business Transformation

Modernize how your organization builds and operates — uplifting people, process and technology so the cloud actually changes outcomes, not just hosting.

Security & compliance

Secure by design — PBMM experts.

Compliance isn't a checkbox we bolt on at the end — it's built into the foundation. We specialize in deploying PBMM (Protected B, Medium-Medium) secure frameworks and platforms, aligned to ITSG-33 and Government of Canada cloud guardrails, so regulated and public-sector workloads are audit-ready from day one.

About

A hands-on cloud consultancy.

NorthStratus is a specialist cloud architecture firm, led by experienced, hands-on architects with decades of combined experience designing and running production cloud platforms in the real world.

We've implemented secure cloud platforms for public-sector and healthcare organizations, and built high-scale retail and e-commerce architectures on Kubernetes and serverless — across both AWS and Google Cloud. We're platform-agnostic and not limited to one vendor: we use the right technology for your goals, not whatever we happen to be selling.

Everything we build is infrastructure-as-code, version-controlled, and handed over so your team can own it. No black boxes, no vendor lock-in.

Decades of real-world cloud delivery behind every engagement.

  • AWS & Google Cloud — multi-cloud, not locked to one platform
  • Kubernetes, serverless & modern container platforms
  • Security & cost-conscious by default
  • Clear documentation and knowledge transfer
