AWS Work From an Advanced Tier Services Partner
Migration, cost reduction, well-architected reviews and platform engineering on AWS, delivered by an official AWS Partner Network member recognised at the Advanced Tier.
What AWS services does Anviam provide?
Anviam is an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner providing cloud migration and modernization, cost optimization, Well-Architected reviews, container platforms on EKS and ECS, serverless architecture, infrastructure as code with Terraform or CDK, CI/CD pipelines, and managed operations with monitoring and incident response. Engagements typically start with either a Well-Architected review or a cost analysis, because both produce measurable findings within two to three weeks.

Most AWS Bills Have 20 to 40 Percent of Obvious Waste in Them
When we run a cost review, the findings are rarely clever. Instances sized for a load test that finished two years ago. Development environments running through nights and weekends. Unattached EBS volumes and old snapshots accumulating quietly. Data transfer crossing availability zones for no architectural reason. Nothing on a savings plan because nobody wanted to commit. No lifecycle policy on S3, so logs from 2019 are still on standard storage.
That is good news, because it means meaningful savings usually come from housekeeping and right-sizing rather than a risky re-architecture. We start there, get the bill down, and use the savings to fund the structural work that follows. A two-week review pays for itself immediately, and it also tells us far more about how your platform is actually operated than any architecture diagram would.
AWS Services We Provide
Cloud Migration
On-premise and other-cloud migration with a wave plan, dependency mapping and rollback at each step.
Cost Optimization
Right-sizing, savings plans, storage lifecycle and architectural changes, with savings tracked against a baseline.
Well-Architected Reviews
Formal review across the six pillars, producing a prioritised remediation plan rather than a score.
EKS & Container Platforms
Kubernetes and ECS platforms with GitOps deployment, autoscaling and sane observability defaults.
Serverless Architecture
Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge and Step Functions designs, including when serverless is the wrong answer.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform or CDK covering the whole estate, so environments are reproducible rather than hand-tended.
AWS Services We Work With Daily
Why Teams Bring Us In
The Bill Is Out of Control
Spend growing faster than usage, with nobody able to explain the largest line items.
Data Centre Exit
A lease ending or hardware refresh forcing a migration on a fixed date.
Reliability Problems
Recurring incidents, no meaningful monitoring, and recovery that depends on one person.
Manual Infrastructure
Everything built by hand in the console, with no way to reproduce an environment.
Failed Security Review
Audit or customer assessment findings on IAM, encryption, logging or network exposure.
Slow Deployments
Releases that take hours and require a maintenance window, holding back delivery pace.
What AWS Advanced Tier Actually Means
Partner tiers are easy to name and hard to earn, so here is what sits behind ours and why it matters for your engagement.
Talk to Our Team- A minimum bar of AWS-certified technical staff, verified by AWS rather than self-declared
- Documented customer references on delivered AWS engagements, validated by AWS
- Access to AWS solutions architects and funding programmes that can offset migration cost
- Eligibility to run formal Well-Architected reviews using AWS tooling and methodology
- Direct escalation paths into AWS support when an issue is genuinely on their side
- Early access to service roadmap information, which affects architecture decisions with long lifespans
How an AWS Engagement Runs
Assess
Read-only access, automated tooling and interviews to produce a written findings report with priorities.
Quick Wins First
Low-risk cost and reliability fixes delivered in the first weeks, so value arrives before the big work.
Codify the Estate
Infrastructure as code and CI/CD, so subsequent changes are reviewable and reversible.
Structural Work
Migration waves, container platform or re-architecture, each with a rollback path.
Operate or Hand Over
Runbooks and training for your team, or a managed operations arrangement with agreed response times.
Common Questions About AWS Cloud Services
How much can we realistically save on our AWS bill?
Twenty to forty percent is the usual range on an estate that has not been actively optimised, and occasionally more where non-production environments run continuously. Roughly half of that typically comes from right-sizing, scheduling and storage lifecycle changes that carry no architectural risk. The remainder needs structural work such as moving off over-provisioned instances or reworking data transfer patterns. We report savings against a measured baseline so the figure is verifiable rather than claimed.
What is a Well-Architected review and is it worth doing?
It is a structured review of your workload against AWS's six pillars — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, cost and sustainability — using AWS's own methodology and tooling. It is worth doing when you are about to scale, have had reliability incidents, or need to satisfy a customer security assessment. The output is a prioritised list of specific risks, not a score, and AWS funding programmes can sometimes offset the remediation cost.
Should we use Kubernetes or serverless on AWS?
Serverless where workloads are event-driven, spiky or low-volume, because you avoid running and patching anything. Kubernetes where you have long-running services, need fine-grained control over networking and resources, or are running enough workloads that per-invocation pricing stops being attractive. The honest answer is that many teams adopt EKS before they have the operational maturity to run it, and ECS Fargate would serve them better with a fraction of the overhead. We recommend based on your team, not the trend.
Can you migrate us from Azure or on-premise to AWS?
Yes. Migrations run in waves rather than as a single cutover: dependency mapping first, then group applications into waves by coupling, migrate the least risky wave, and validate before proceeding. Each wave has a defined rollback. For on-premise exits driven by a lease or hardware end-of-life we work backwards from the hard date and are explicit early about what will need to lift-and-shift rather than be modernised in time.
Do you provide ongoing managed AWS operations?
Yes, as an option rather than a requirement. Managed operations cover monitoring and alerting, patching, backup verification, cost reporting and on-call incident response against agreed response times. Many clients instead take the runbooks, dashboards and training and operate it themselves, which is a perfectly good outcome — the infrastructure-as-code and documentation deliverables are designed to make that possible.
How do you handle security and access to our AWS accounts?
We start read-only for assessment work, with access through a dedicated role using external ID and MFA rather than shared credentials. Write access is granted per environment when the work requires it, and every action is traceable through CloudTrail. Our delivery process is ISO 27001:2013 certified, and we recommend and implement the same controls on your estate: no long-lived access keys, least-privilege roles and centralised logging.
