Cloud work on AWS and GCP
Open an account, describe the job, get a quote. From a single domain to a cloud you want someone else to run, every step shows in your panel.
We work from the Energy Corridor in Houston, Texas, and take on jobs from anywhere in the world.
You don't need a technical background to describe the job. Individuals, companies, associations and public bodies are all welcome.
How it works
Your request, our questions, the quote, the work and the delivery all stay in one conversation in your panel.
We keep infrastructure in code wherever the platform allows it, and we document how each environment runs. If the work ever moves to another engineer, the environment and its documentation stay with you.
Create your account: You enter your name and email, choose a password and confirm your email. Two-step sign-in is required on every account.
Describe the job: Write what you need the way you would explain it to a colleague. Attach a screenshot or an invoice if it helps.
Get a quote: We reply in the same conversation and ask what we need to know. The quote lists every line, the delivery date and what is included. Nothing starts before you approve it.
Follow the work: Access requests, messages, the delivery and payment requests all appear in the same conversation. You have seven days to accept the delivery or tell us what is missing.
What we do
If the work is on AWS or GCP, write it in your request. If it is not on this list, write it anyway.
A single server or a highly available setup on EC2 or Compute Engine, hardened, backed up and monitored.
VPCs, site-to-site VPN and links between AWS and GCP.
We register your domain, point it where it belongs and secure it.
We look at your site or application first, then move it to AWS or GCP.
Backups to S3 or GCS, and alerts that reach the right person.
IAM, MFA and service accounts, set up so each person has only the access they need.
A one-time scan or one that repeats every month, each with a written report.
A dashboard for what you want to watch: storage, cost, security or monitoring.
We find what you pay for and do not use, and take it off the bill.
HPC, RStudio, notebooks and the infrastructure under them.
Regular care for your cloud, if you want it, agreed around your request.
Describe it, and we will tell you whether it is work we take on.
Every job comes with its own quote. If something new comes up while we work, it gets its own quote too.
Who does the work
You see who is working on your job and talk to that engineer directly, with no account managers or handoffs in between. The quote and the responsibility stay with I-ORBITX. When the job is done you rate the work, and ratings are public.
We ask for the exact role we need, for a set time. You grant it, and you take it back.
Every message, quote, approval and payment stays in the conversation. If a question comes up later, the record is there.

| Cloud | Work | Type of job | Tech |
|---|---|---|---|
| AWS + GCP | A highly available VPN between AWS and GCP We built a dual-tunnel site-to-site VPN across two clouds and verified later endpoint changes over BGP without interruption. |
Network and VPN |
|
| GCP | Replacing default service accounts across a GCP organisation We replaced default service accounts with per-bucket scoped ones and moved production in a single planned window. |
Users and access |
|
| AWS | Closing CIS and HIPAA audit findings, then bringing the audit in-house We closed external audit findings item by item, then brought the assessment in-house and made it continuous. |
Security scan and report |
|
| AWS + GCP | Backup plans and the restores that proved them We exercised the backup plans instead of just configuring them: real restores against real failures. |
Backups and monitoring |
|
| AWS | Cost cleanup: reclaiming an idle cloud estate We tagged and attributed every resource to an owner before retiring anything. |
Lower the cloud bill |
|
| AWS + GCP | Migrating a research application stack to the second cloud We traced post-migration breakage to its actual cause rather than the vendor, and closed it one root at a time. |
Move to the cloud |
|
| AWS + GCP | Organisation-wide audit logging with a live dashboard We centralised audit logs org-wide and put them behind a purpose-built dashboard reachable over VPN only. |
Dashboards |
|
| AWS | Building HPC Slurm clusters for scientific workloads We provisioned the clusters as code, so a broken cluster gets rebuilt rather than repaired. |
Run a research platform |

We have been continually impressed and satisfied with our workings with Murat. I would highly recommend him and I-Orbitx to any person or organization that would need an AWS cloud-based service, project technical or IT support. The AWS and non-AWS technical skills that Murat brings to our organization has been essential in number of projects.
