Work we’ve done
Client names withheld under NDA. Technical detail is exact.
A legacy Jenkins install ran every job through a single shared executor. Dev builds, QA builds, and production releases all competed for the same slot, so a release waited behind whatever routine job happened to be running. Engineers learned to time their commits around the queue.
- Rebuilt Jenkins on Amazon ECS using the EC2 launch type
- Containerized the build agents with the full toolchain resolved inside the images, including SAM CLI and downstream build dependencies
- Assigned a dedicated agent per environment so dev, QA, and production release pipelines execute independently
- Wired job completion notifications into Slack so teams stop polling the Jenkins UI
The client ran a single production-only environment spanning two clouds — the application on Azure AKS with its database in Azure, while asset storage and DNS stayed on AWS. The database was reachable from the public internet and the S3 asset bucket was publicly readable. With no dev or QA environment, every change was validated in production against live customer data.
- Moved the Azure database into a private subnet and removed public network exposure
- Locked the AWS S3 asset bucket down to private access
- Built matching dev and QA AKS environments so changes are validated before production
- Placed a firewall in front of the NGINX ingress controller for L7 filtering
- Kept Route 53 as the DNS authority across both clouds without disrupting the split
The client’s code lived in GitHub with no deployment automation attached to it. Releases were manual, there was no separation between environments, and services talked to each other with broader AWS permissions than they needed.
- Built the full SDLC with GitHub Actions deploying into AWS
- Stood up three isolated environments — dev, QA, and production
- Scoped IAM roles and policies per service, enforcing least-privilege for service-to-service access
- Took over ongoing infrastructure maintenance for the platform

Real results from the engineers we train
Unedited reviews from engineers who completed the certification courses. Names are withheld — students are identified only with their permission.
“Outstanding instructor with very clear communication. Well detailed, walks students from zero to certified.”
“Time and money well spent. Very well explained and practice from the console. Highly recommend.”
“Passed my exam with flying colors. It excelled my confidence — this is a must-have course with diagrams.”
“The hands-on labs in the AWS console make all the difference. I finally understood the concepts by doing them.”

Common questions
Do you need access to our cloud account?
Not for the free bill review — a Cost Explorer CSV export is enough, and it contains no credentials. For a full audit or an infrastructure engagement we ask for a read-only IAM role scoped to the accounts in question, and we’ll write the policy for your team to review before you create it. Write access is only granted if you ask us to implement fixes ourselves, and it’s revoked when the engagement ends.
How long does a cost audit take?
The free 30-minute review happens on the call itself. For a full audit we agree the timeline with you when we scope it, based on how many accounts and services are in play. You get a written findings document ranked by savings impact, with the specific fix for each item, plus a walkthrough call.
What if you don’t find meaningful savings?
Then you don’t pay. On the contingent option you pay 30% of savings we verify against your actual bill — no savings, no invoice. That is the option to take if you want the risk on us rather than on you. Either way you keep the findings document.
Do you work with teams outside Denver?
Yes. Most engagements are fully remote across US time zones. On-site is available in the Denver metro at no travel cost, and elsewhere in the US with travel billed at cost and agreed in advance. Delivery is US-based — nothing is offshored.
Can you work under our existing MSA, or subcontract through our agency?
Yes to both. We sign client-paper MSAs and NDAs, and we subcontract through agencies and MSPs on white-label terms. Send your paper over and we’ll review and turn it back quickly. If your procurement process needs vendor documentation, tell us what’s on the checklist and we’ll work through it with you.
Do you accept purchase orders and net-30?
Yes. We invoice against a PO and accept net-30 terms, which is how most training budgets are spent. We’re a registered Colorado LLC and can supply a W-9 and vendor onboarding paperwork. Payment by ACH or check.
What does the $499 AWS Health Check include, and how is it different from the audit above?
The Health Check is a fixed-scope, read-only review of one AWS account and one primary application — up to 20 major resources — across cost, security, reliability, and monitoring, with a written report and a 45-minute results call. The full Cost Audit and Architecture Deep Dive above go deeper across more of your account and are scoped individually. Many clients start with the $499 Health Check and apply it toward a larger engagement.
Do you need my AWS root password or permanent access keys for the Health Check?
No — we never ask for root credentials, passwords, or permanent access keys. We use a temporary, read-only IAM role scoped to your account, or we work over screen-share when that’s a better fit.
Will you make any changes to my AWS environment during the Health Check?
No. The $499 assessment is strictly read-only. Any recommended fixes are listed in the report; implementing them is a separate, separately quoted engagement.
Is the AWS Health Check a penetration test or formal compliance certification?
No. It’s a practical infrastructure and configuration review, not a penetration test and not a formal compliance audit (e.g. SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI). If you need one of those, tell us and we’ll scope it separately.
Can you review multiple AWS accounts as part of the $499 Health Check?
The $499 price covers one AWS account and one primary application. Multiple accounts or applications require a custom quote — ask us and we’ll scope it.

How we work
TechTree Cloud Services is a Denver-based cloud consultancy. Every engagement — audit, build, or training — is delivered by the senior engineer you speak to on the first call. Nothing is handed to a junior, nothing is offshored, and you are not passed to an account manager after you sign.
Engagements start with a fixed scope and end with something written down — a findings document, a runbook, or infrastructure your team owns outright. Access begins read-only, anything broader is agreed before it’s granted, and it ends when the engagement does. We work in your repositories and your tooling, so nothing we build depends on us still being here afterwards.
