01 / Services

What we build.

A full DevOps, cloud and security engineering practice under one roof — from first architecture diagram to 3 a.m. pager to successful SOC 2 audit. Every engagement is led by a senior with 15+ years of hands-on production experience across AWS, Azure, GCP and government data centers.

01

Cloud migration & architecture

Rehost, replatform or rebuild on AWS, GCP, Azure, Alibaba Cloud or hybrid estates. Multi-account, multi-region landing zones, zero-downtime cutovers and architecture built to pass audits the day it ships.

02

Cloud cost optimization

FinOps audits, rightsizing, reserved-instance strategy, savings plans, storage-tier refactors. Typical outcome: a 25–40% reduction in monthly cloud spend within the first 90 days, without sacrificing performance.

03

Kubernetes & containers

Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, Alibaba ACK, or self-managed. Production-grade clusters with autoscaling, GitOps via Argo CD, service meshes, and the observability to sleep at night.

04

CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Argo CD. Pipelines your team will actually trust — with rollbacks, promotion gates, and security scanning baked in from day one.

05

SOC 1/2 & ISO 27001 compliance

Audit-ready infrastructure with proper access controls, automated logging and evidence collection, and complete documentation. ISO 27001 certified team — we've shipped companies through their first SOC 2 audit in under 90 days with zero findings.

06

Security & DevSecOps

IAM & least-privilege access control, secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), shift-left scanning, hardening, and continuous vulnerability management. Security-first mindset rooted in a master's in Network Cryptography.

07

Identity & access (Keycloak)

Production-grade Single Sign-On, user federation, MFA and role-based access control with Keycloak. OIDC, SAML, LDAP and social identity providers — integrated securely with your existing stack.

08

Proxmox & VMware virtualization

For teams who can't or won't go fully public-cloud. VM provisioning, HA clusters, backup strategies, hybrid networking — including government data-center and VPN-secured production environments.

09

Observability & 24/7 support

Prometheus, Grafana, the ELK Stack, Datadog, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, OpenTelemetry. Meaningful SLOs, alerts that don't cry wolf, and on-call engineers when things go sideways.

Automated CI/CD pipeline: GitHub Actions & Kubernetes at scale.

Replaced a fragile, manual release process for a multi-service SaaS platform. Built zero-downtime deployments on Google Kubernetes Engine with GitOps via Argo CD, canary rollouts, automated rollbacks and integrated security scanning. Deployment time dropped from hours to minutes; release confidence went from “Friday is off-limits” to ship-whenever.

Enterprise migration to AWS ECS Fargate.

Lifted an on-premise monolith to a containerized microservices architecture on AWS — with ECS Fargate, Aurora, CloudFront and a fully Terraform-managed VPC. Phased cutover, zero customer-facing downtime. A post-migration cost-optimization sprint then trimmed a further six figures off the annual AWS bill.

Rooted in the Himalaya

The same patience that moves mountains.

We're named for the range we live beside — the same range that has trained porters, climbers and problem-solvers for a thousand years. The engineering culture here values preparation over panic, discipline over flash, and seeing the weather two days out rather than reacting to it today.

That's the temperament we bring to your infrastructure. Calm in incidents. Methodical in migrations. Relentless about the small details that stop 3 a.m. pages before they happen.

07 / How we work

A measured ascent.

A methodical, security-first process — no shortcuts. If it's not automated, observable, secure and audit-ready, it's not production-ready.

Assess
Understand the terrain.
A free discovery call followed by a technical audit of your current setup, billing, pain points and compliance gaps. You leave with a written report — yours to keep, whether we work together or not.
Architect
Design for scale, security & audit.
Scalable, secure, audit-ready and cost-efficient systems drawn up before a single resource is provisioned. Multi-cloud where it makes sense, single-cloud where it doesn't. Always with IaC from day one.
Automate
IaC, pipelines, repeatable deployments.
Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment workflows your team can operate without us. Weekly demos, shared Slack channel, staging environments you can actually poke at.
Harden
Controls, audit trails, compliance mapping.
Access controls, automated logging, evidence collection, and mapping to SOC 2, ISO 27001 or your framework of choice. Built in from the start — not bolted on when the auditor arrives.
Observe
Visibility before problems happen.
Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry. SLOs that mean something, alerts that don't cry wolf, and runbooks your on-call engineers will actually thank you for.
Hand over
Transfer — or stay on as your team.
Full documentation and knowledge-transfer for in-house teams, or ongoing managed operations with 24/7 on-call and monthly cost-optimization reviews. Your choice.
08 / Client stories

Shipped. Proven.

Good infrastructure is invisible — we build the kind that lets your engineers forget we exist. Here's what the people who've worked with our team have to say.

★★★★★

“Cut our AWS costs by 40%” — while improving performance.

The team rebuilt our entire CI/CD pipeline and cut our AWS costs by 40% without sacrificing performance. Their deep understanding of cost-optimization strategies — right-sizing instances, implementing auto-scaling, optimizing storage — saved us over $60,000 annually. They also set up comprehensive monitoring so we can see exactly where our money goes. Best investment we made this year.
Michael Rodriguez Head of Infrastructure · E-commerce Platform · Toronto, Canada
★★★★★

Legacy monolith to Kubernetes microservices in six months.

Migrating our legacy monolith to containerized microservices seemed impossible until we worked with this team. They created a phased migration strategy, set up our Kubernetes clusters on GKE, implemented GitOps workflows, and trained our team on the new stack. Six months later, our deployments are faster, our infrastructure is more reliable, and our dev team is happier. Worth every dollar.
James Peterson Engineering Director
★★★★★

SOC 2 compliance in record time — zero audit findings.

We needed to achieve SOC 2 compliance quickly for a major enterprise deal. The team delivered audit-ready infrastructure with proper access controls, automated logging and complete documentation in under 3 months. Their ISO 27001 certification and hands-on compliance experience made the difference. Our auditors were impressed with how well-prepared our systems were.
David Chen VP of Engineering
★★★★★

From chaos to automated excellence.

They transformed our infrastructure from a maintenance nightmare into a streamlined, automated system. Their expertise in Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines reduced our deployment time from hours to minutes. What impressed me most was their ability to anticipate scaling challenges before they became problems. They're not just executing tasks — they're thinking architecturally about long-term stability.
Sarah Mitchell CTO · FinTech Startup · San Francisco, USA

If it's not automated, observable, secure and audit-ready — it's not production-ready.

09 / Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

The things every team asks us before kicking off a DevOps engagement. If yours isn't here, just ask on WhatsApp or email — we're quick to reply.

01

What DevOps and cloud services does DevOps Himalaya offer?

We offer a full DevOps and cloud engineering practice: cloud architecture design on AWS, Azure, GCP and Alibaba Cloud; Kubernetes and container orchestration; CI/CD pipeline automation; Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible; SOC 1/2 and ISO 27001 compliance implementation; Keycloak identity and access management (SSO, MFA, RBAC); Proxmox and VMware virtualization for hybrid / on-premise estates; cloud cost optimization; and 24/7 observability and on-call support.

Engagements range from one-off architecture audits and cost-optimization sprints to long-term managed DevOps and SRE operations. We've delivered 150+ production infrastructure projects to date.

02

Which cloud platforms do you specialize in?

Production-grade expertise across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Alibaba Cloud, plus strong coverage of DigitalOcean, Hetzner and on-premise / hybrid setups including government data centers.

We design multi-cloud and hybrid architectures where a single provider isn't the right fit — for example to meet data-residency rules or escape vendor lock-in.

03

Do you work with clients in the USA, UK, Europe and Canada?

Yes — the majority of our work is with teams in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, Australia and Singapore. Our engineers have spent years inside SRE and platform teams at US and European companies, so the culture, communication style and quality bar will feel familiar.

We rotate on-call coverage to align with your working hours, and run a hybrid of asynchronous updates plus scheduled live overlaps with US and EU time zones.

04

Can you help with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance?

Yes. Our team is ISO 27001 certified and has successfully helped multiple companies achieve SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance. This includes implementing audit-ready infrastructure with proper access controls, automated logging and monitoring, evidence collection systems, security policies, and documentation required for compliance audits.

We build systems so your infrastructure meets auditor requirements from day one — not the night before the audit.

05

How much can I save on my AWS, GCP or Azure bill?

Most clients see a 25–40% reduction in monthly cloud spend within the first 90 days through a combination of rightsizing, storage-tier optimization, savings plans and reserved instances, commitment discounts, auto-scaling fixes, architectural refactors (e.g. moving to spot / preemptible where safe), and eliminating zombie resources.

We begin every cost engagement with a free audit so you know the potential upside before committing. One recent engagement saved a client over $60,000 annually.

06

How is pricing structured?

Three engagement models: fixed-scope projects (e.g. a migration or SOC 2 readiness), monthly retainers for ongoing managed DevOps and SRE coverage, and dedicated-engineer arrangements where a senior joins your team full-time.

Because we operate from Nepal with senior engineers who've worked for Western companies, rates are typically 40–60% lower than equivalent US or UK agencies — without a drop in quality bar. Contact us for a specific quote.

07

Do you work with startups or only enterprise clients?

Both. We work with organizations of all sizes — from early-stage startups building their first production infrastructure to enterprises managing complex multi-cloud environments. Our experience spans government data centers, multinational corporations, and high-growth SaaS companies.

Whether you're deploying your first Kubernetes cluster or optimizing existing infrastructure at scale, we can help.

08

How do we get started?

Simplest path: message us on WhatsApp or email devopshimalaya@gmail.com. We'll reply within one business day to schedule a free 30-minute discovery call, followed (if it's a fit) by a written technical audit of your current infrastructure and goals.
