CLOUD ENGINEERING
Cloud engineering for federal missions.
RISA engineers AWS and Azure environments from architecture and migration through operations, automation, governance, and optimization.
Engineering across the cloud lifecycle.
RISA connects workload planning and day-to-day engineering with the visibility and governance needed to manage cloud environments.
Plan and migrate
Assess workloads, design environments, and support migration and mission-owner onboarding.
Operate and connect
Configure resources, automate repeatable tasks, and integrate networking and logging.
Govern and optimize
Track ownership, utilization, and spending to inform resource and budget decisions.
ARCHITECTURE & MIGRATION
Design around the workload. Plan for the transition.
RISA supports AWS and Azure architecture and migration, connecting workload requirements with existing infrastructure and the teams who will operate it.
Environment and workload design
Workload and resource planning, infrastructure modernization, and architecture documentation establish a practical basis for deployment. Connectivity, identity, and operating requirements inform the design.
Migration and onboarding
Experience includes cloud migration support, Microsoft 365 migration and sustainment, and mission-owner onboarding. Implementation planning and knowledge transfer support the transition into operations.
OPERATIONS & AUTOMATION
Operate reliably. Make repeatable work repeatable.
RISA combines cloud administration and troubleshooting with infrastructure as code, standardized configurations, and operational documentation.
Cloud operations
Provisioning, configuration, resource management, and troubleshooting support operational continuity. Experience includes Windows Server and RHEL image engineering, agent configuration, and backup and lifecycle policies.
Hands-on work spans EC2, S3, machine images, and AWS Systems Manager.
Infrastructure as code
RISA uses infrastructure-as-code practices to create repeatable cloud configurations, logging baselines, resource controls, and operational automation. Demonstrated technologies include CloudFormation and StackSets.
SOPs and playbooks support configuration maintenance and operational handover.
NETWORKING & OBSERVABILITY
Connect the environment. Make its activity visible.
RISA connects cloud infrastructure with the monitoring and logging teams need to investigate issues and maintain their environments.
Cloud networking and secure connectivity
VPC and subnet architecture, IP planning, routing, Transit Gateway, and security groups support secure connectivity. RISA integrates cloud firewalls, supports DNS, troubleshoots connections, and maintains architecture documentation.
Monitoring and centralized logging
CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and flow logs provide visibility into cloud activity. RISA develops logging templates and supports centralized logging integration, including troubleshooting log delivery with Splunk.
GOVERNANCE & FINOPS
Understand cloud spending. Manage resources with purpose.
FinOps connects cloud engineering with financial decisions. It helps program and acquisition teams understand what resources cost, how they are used, and where changes may be appropriate.
Visibility and budget control
AWS and Azure spend tracking, budgets and notifications, utilization reporting, and cost estimates help teams monitor spending. Billing automation supports ongoing review.
Resource and savings planning
Identify unused resources, schedule instance shutdown, and evaluate savings opportunities. Experience includes AWS Savings Plans planning and purchase activity.
Governance and account management
Account onboarding and closure, organizational controls, naming and tagging standards, inventories, and playbooks connect resource ownership with cost visibility.
Supporting experience:
Container setup, Kubecost configuration and Azure integration, and deployment documentation for cloud utilization and cost visibility.
Demonstrated federal cloud experience
