Managed Services

Cloud Managed Services

Keep your cloud platforms, data workloads and applications secure, available and cost-efficient, with an experienced operations team and clearly agreed service levels.

Let Your Engineers Build While We Keep the Platform Running

Moving to the cloud removes hardware from your data center, but not the operational work. Someone still has to monitor services, respond to incidents, apply patches, manage backups, rotate credentials, review security findings, keep infrastructure code up to date and stop costs from creeping up month after month. When this falls on product engineers, roadmaps slip and operational hygiene suffers.

Hanoi Technology provides managed services for workloads on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Our team operates your environments using infrastructure as code, automated monitoring and documented runbooks, under service levels agreed in advance. You get predictable operations, regular reporting and continuous optimization, while keeping full ownership of your accounts and data.

The Challenge

The Operational Burden of Running in the Cloud

Cloud operations demand constant attention across reliability, security and cost.

Too Few Specialists, Too Many Services

Each cloud offers hundreds of services that evolve constantly. Small internal teams cannot maintain deep expertise across compute, networking, data, security and cost management at once.

Security and Compliance Drift

Misconfigurations, overly broad permissions and unpatched systems accumulate over time. Without continuous review, environments drift away from your security baseline.

Uncontrolled Cloud Spend

Idle resources, oversized instances and missing commitments raise bills steadily. Without ownership and regular optimization, costs are only noticed when budgets are exceeded.

Reactive Incident Handling

Without proactive monitoring, clear escalation paths and runbooks, incidents are discovered by users and resolved through ad hoc firefighting.

Business Value

Benefits of Managed Cloud Operations

Higher Availability

Proactive monitoring, tested runbooks and defined escalation reduce the frequency and duration of outages.

Continuous Security Hygiene

Regular patching, access reviews and posture management keep environments aligned with your security baseline.

Optimized, Predictable Costs

FinOps practices such as rightsizing, scheduling and commitment planning keep spending in line with usage and budgets.

Focus for Your Engineers

Product and data teams spend their time on features and insight instead of routine operations.

Transparent Reporting

Monthly service reports cover incidents, availability, changes, security findings and cost trends.

Flexible Scale

Support scope grows or shrinks with your environment without hiring, onboarding or retaining scarce specialists.

Operations as Code

We manage environments the same way good engineering teams build software: infrastructure as code, version control, peer-reviewed changes and automated pipelines. That makes every change traceable and repeatable, reduces configuration drift and means your environments can be rebuilt or audited with confidence at any time.

Managed Services FAQ

What exactly is included in your managed services?

Scope is tailored to each client, but typically covers monitoring and alerting, incident management, patching and maintenance, backup and recovery testing, security posture reviews, access management, cost optimization and monthly reporting. Optional services include data platform operations, application support and infrastructure-as-code development. We document the scope, service levels and responsibilities in a service description before we start, so there are no surprises.

What support hours and response times do you offer?

Support hours and response targets are agreed per contract and per priority level. Options range from business-hours coverage in your time zone to extended or round-the-clock coverage for critical production workloads. We define priorities with you, for example by user impact, and set response and update targets for each. Our Hanoi delivery hub allows us to provide working-hour overlap with clients in Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America.

Do we keep ownership of our cloud accounts and data?

Yes. Your cloud accounts, subscriptions or projects, data and infrastructure code remain yours. We access your environments through named, least-privilege roles that you can review and revoke at any time, with all actions logged. Billing stays with your cloud provider or reseller, unless agreed otherwise. If you end the service, we hand over documentation, runbooks and code so another team can take over smoothly.

How is managed services pricing structured?

Pricing is typically a monthly fee based on the size and complexity of the environment, the number of workloads in scope, the support hours and service levels required, and optional services such as application support or FinOps. An initial onboarding phase covers assessment, documentation and remediation of critical gaps. We provide a transparent proposal after the assessment and review the scope as your environment changes.

How does the transition from our current team or provider work?

We start with an assessment and knowledge transfer from your current team or provider, then onboard monitoring, document runbooks and agree on escalation paths. Where possible we run a period of shadow support before taking primary responsibility. Critical risks discovered during assessment, such as missing backups or exposed resources, are remediated early. The transition plan is agreed in advance with clear milestones.

Can you manage environments built by another vendor?

Yes. Many clients come to us with environments designed by internal teams or other providers. During the assessment we document the architecture, identify risks and technical debt, and agree on which improvements are required before or after we take over. If infrastructure is not yet defined as code, we can gradually bring it under code to make operations more reliable and changes easier to audit.
