Our Google Cloud bill jumped this month. Is something wrong?

AOD engineer

Two old disks and a snapshot schedule nobody needed were still running. Removed them with your OK, and the app server can drop one size based on 60 days of usage. Want us to schedule that?

What we handle

The servers and everything around them.

The provider runs the underlying infrastructure. Your operating system, applications, configuration and monitoring still need an owner.

Patching & hardening

OS and package updates and SSH hardening, with firewall rules reviewed so only what should be reachable is reachable.

Snapshots & backups

Disk snapshots and backups on a schedule, kept for a sensible retention window, and restored when you need one.

Right-sizing

Instance and disk sizes checked against real usage so you stop paying for capacity you never touch and stop starving the parts that need it.

Migrations

Moves into AWS or Google Cloud, between regions or providers, and OS upgrades. Every move is planned with a rollback before we touch anything.

Monitoring

Instance health and services watched from the inside, with external uptime checks available through AOD Pulse.

Design & consulting

Network and infrastructure design, VPNs between cloud and on-premises, and a second pair of eyes before big changes.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Something else on your mind? Ask us or call 918-872-0657.

Do you manage servers in our own AWS or Google Cloud account?

Yes. You keep your cloud account and billing; we manage the Linux instances and the pieces around them, such as firewall rules, disks and snapshots, and static IPs.

Can you help lower our cloud bill?

Often, yes. We review instance sizes and actual usage, disks, snapshots and idle resources, and right-size where the numbers support it, without trading away reliability.

Can you move our servers into the cloud?

Yes. We plan and run migrations from dedicated or virtual servers into AWS or Google Cloud, and between providers, with testing and a rollback plan before cutover.

How is cloud management priced?

AWS and Google Cloud management is part of our Custom plan and is quoted on the size and shape of your environment. Individual Linux instances can also be covered by our per-server plans from $149 per month.
