I help teams cut wasted AWS and Azure spend, migrate workloads without a messy cutover, and put infrastructure under Terraform so every change is reviewed and repeatable.

A written roadmap: options, sequence, and what I would touch first.
Infrastructure, automation, and security — as code, in your accounts.
Monitor, patch, and keep changing it as the workload changes.

Six ways I usually help. Most engagements mix a few of them.
A secure, well-organized AWS or Azure foundation your whole team can understand, whether you're starting fresh or cleaning up years of growth.
Learn more →Migrate to AWS or Azure without the disruption: a tested plan from a certified cloud migration consultant, with a rollback path ready before the old environment is turned off.
Learn more →Practical, enforceable security for your AWS or Azure accounts: fewer passwords and keys to leak, and a clear list of what to fix first.
Learn more →Lower your AWS or Azure bill without slowing anything down, with every change backed by your actual usage data.
Learn more →Get the AWS and Azure infrastructure you already run into Terraform or Bicep without rebuilding it, so every change is versioned, reviewed, and repeatable.
Learn more →Keep your environment patched, current, and watched, so small problems get fixed before they turn into outages.
Learn more →Every engagement starts with a free conversation about where things stand and what you want to do.
$150/hour
For work with a clear finish line: a migration, a security review, a Terraform import, or a cost cleanup. You work directly with me from the first call through handoff, and you're billed only for the hours the work takes.
From $2,000/month
Ongoing care for your AWS or Azure environment. Pricing is set after a review of what you run and what it needs, so you pay for your environment, not a one-size package.
You hear about it before it happens. If the work starts to look bigger than the estimate, I flag it and we agree on how to proceed before I go past it, so the invoice is never the first you hear of it.
You do. Everything is built in your own AWS or Azure accounts and source control, with handoff documentation so your team can run it without me.
Me, Shane Schlabach. The person on the first call is the person doing the work. There are no account managers and no handoffs to junior staff.

Practical write-ups from real AWS and Azure work.
Replace a wide-open 0.0.0.0/0 rule for Bitbucket-to-Jenkins webhooks with an AWS managed prefix list that stays in sync automatically via SNS.
Most infrastructure doesn't start in Terraform. Here's how to bring console-built and script-built resources under management without recreating them.
Remove passwords from Azure SQL connection strings using Microsoft Entra authentication and managed identity, plus SSMS options and how to verify it works.
Whether you're planning something new or improving what you already have — cost, a migration, security, or Terraform — write a few sentences about where things stand. I work remotely with teams across the US and usually reply within one business day. No obligation — just a conversation about what you need.
