Cloud architecture retainer with principal architects and SRE
A cloud architecture retainer puts a senior architect behind your infrastructure every month. Omeiro offers principal cloud architects, dedicated SRE capacity, multi-region failover and incident response against an uptime target.
You buy hours and response times, and the work covers design decisions, reviews and keeping the platform healthy.
How a cloud architecture retainer works day to day
A cloud architecture retainer suits companies whose infrastructure has outgrown ad hoc help. Hours are spent on reviews of proposed designs, capacity and cost planning, incident follow-up and roadmap guidance for your engineers. Before starting, share your architecture diagrams, cloud accounts, on-call arrangement and the outages that hurt most. These set the first month's priorities.
Tiers differ in response time and uptime commitment, so match them to the cost of downtime. If an hour offline is a nuisance, Basic with a 4-hour response may be enough; if it costs revenue or contracts, the 1-hour or 15-minute plans fit better. A cloud architecture retainer should leave your team with written decisions, tested failover and runbooks that explain what to do when something breaks.
Who needs a standing architect
- Growing companies whose cloud was built by whoever was available.
- CTOs needing a second opinion on big infrastructure decisions.
- Buyers comparing managed cloud services with a full-time hire.
- Firms looking for a cloud architect consulting retainer to guard uptime.
