CTOs & platform teams
Pain: Cloud sprawl, no consistent landing zone, and IaC that no one trusts.
Fit: Reference landing zones, hardened IaC and Kubernetes platforms on your chosen cloud.
Practice · Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure
Cloud foundations that scale, safely
We design and stand up cloud architecture — landing zones, migration, infrastructure-as-code and FinOps — on OCI, AWS, Azure and GCP, with the pre-sales rigor of a principal cloud architect and integration depth for real workloads.
Yerbabuena Digital
Yerbabuena Digital designs and builds cloud infrastructure for teams moving to or optimizing the cloud. We deliver landing zones, migration patterns, IaC, Kubernetes platforms and FinOps on OCI, AWS, Azure and GCP — with integration (OIC) and multi-cloud strategy from hands-on principal-architect experience across Iberia and the US.
Who this practice is for
Teams that need a credible cloud foundation — not a generic migration deck — and the integration to make it work.
Migration programs
Pain: Lift-and-shift stalls; workloads arrive without governance, networking or cost controls.
Fit: Migration patterns, LIFT-style pre-sales and landing zones that work the first day.
Finance & operations
Pain: Cloud bills rising with no accountability or FinOps practice.
Fit: FinOps foundations: tagging, showback and cost optimization across multi-cloud.
Foundations before features
A good cloud architecture starts with the boring parts done right: identity, networking, landing zones, logging and IaC. We design those foundations so your teams can ship fast on top without rework.
We work across OCI, AWS, Azure and GCP — and the multi-cloud reality in between. We bring principal-cloud-architect pre-sales discipline: reference architectures, consumption roadmaps and LIFT-style delivery that account teams can run with.
Integration is where most cloud programs stall. We pair infrastructure with integration expertise (Oracle Integration Cloud and modern iPaaS) so your landing zone actually connects to your business, not just hosts VMs.
FinOps is built in, not bolted on: tagging strategy, showback, rightsizing and commitment planning — so the bill is explainable and the foundation earns its keep.
Return on investment
Where the numbers come from
Illustrative scenarios based on typical cloud engagements — results vary by estate, workloads and scope. We scope every engagement together before you commit.
Mid-market — first landing zone on OCI
An Iberia enterprise moving its first workloads to OCI needed a governed landing zone, networking and IaC before teams could build.
- Time to first safe workload
- ~4 weeks — Landing zone + IaC + guardrails
- Provisioning lead time
- Minutes — Was weeks of tickets
- Drift incidents
- −80% — IaC + policy-as-code
A reference landing zone turns cloud from a risk into a runway — teams build on safe ground.
Multi-cloud — FinOps program
A US scale-up ran across AWS and GCP with rising bills, no tagging, and no accountability across teams.
- Cloud spend
- −22% — Rightsizing + commitments + showback
- Tagged spend coverage
- 95%+ — From ~30%
- Chargeback disputes
- Near zero — Showback dashboards
FinOps foundations make the bill explainable — and surface 20%+ in safe savings fast.
Capabilities
What we design and build
A coherent cloud foundation — from landing zone to FinOps — on your chosen clouds.
Landing zones & foundations
Identity, networking, logging and guardrails that work from day one.
- Reference landing zones on OCI, AWS, Azure, GCP
- Identity, networking, segmentation and key management
- Policy-as-code and guardrails
- Production-ready baselines your team can build on
Migration & architecture
Move workloads with a plan, not hope.
- Migration assessment and wave planning
- LIFT-style pre-sales and consumption roadmaps
- Reference architectures and design reviews
- Modernization vs lift-and-shift decisions
IaC & Kubernetes platforms
Repeatable, reviewable infrastructure.
- Terraform / IaC modules and pipelines
- Kubernetes platform foundations and guardrails
- GitOps and environment promotion
- Drift detection and policy-as-code
FinOps & integration
Make the bill explainable and the cloud connected.
- Tagging, showback and chargeback
- Rightsizing and commitment planning
- Oracle Integration Cloud and iPaaS patterns
- Multi-cloud strategy and connectivity
Use cases
Engagements we know well
First OCI landing zone
Challenge: Cloud ambitions but no governed foundation; teams blocked on networking and identity.
Outcome: Reference landing zone + IaC in weeks; safe self-service provisioning for platform teams.
Multi-cloud FinOps program
Challenge: Rising AWS + GCP bills with no tagging or accountability.
Outcome: FinOps foundations: 20%+ savings, 95%+ tagged spend, showback dashboards.
Governed migration with integration
Challenge: Workloads to move plus integration requirements across systems.
Outcome: Migration waves with OIC/iPaaS patterns and policy-as-code guardrails.
Engagement
How a cloud engagement runs
From assessment to a governed foundation your teams can build on — in clear phases.
Discover
We assess workloads, costs, risks and goals. You get a written architecture options paper and migration waves — not a generic cloud pitch.
Architect
We design the landing zone, networking, IaC and FinOps foundations, plus integration patterns — reviewed with your security and platform leads.
Build
We stand up the foundation in IaC, validate with a pilot workload, and hand over runbooks so your team can provision safely and repeatably.
Optimize & operate
We tune FinOps, guardrails and performance — or run a retainer with cost reviews, drift monitoring and architecture office hours.
Before & after
What changes with a real foundation
Before
- Manual provisioning via tickets and click-ops
- No landing zone; networking and identity ad hoc
- Cloud bills no one can explain or attribute
- Migration plans that stall at integration
After
- IaC-provisioned landing zones with guardrails
- Reference architecture on OCI, AWS, Azure or GCP
- FinOps with tagging, showback and commitment plans
- Integration patterns (OIC/iPaaS) that connect workloads
Outcomes
What clients typically see
Safe ground to build on
A reference landing zone with identity, networking and guardrails — teams provision in minutes, not ticket weeks.
Repeatable infrastructure
IaC modules and GitOps make environments reviewable, drift-detectable and promotion-safe.
Explainable cloud spend
FinOps foundations with tagging and showback surface 20%+ in safe savings and end chargeback disputes.
Connected, not just hosted
Integration expertise (OIC and iPaaS) so your cloud connects to the business, not just runs VMs.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Which clouds do you work with?
OCI, AWS, Azure and GCP — and the multi-cloud reality between them. We are OCI-certified at the architect-professional level and bring hands-on pre-sales architecture across Iberia and the US.
Do you do migration or only greenfield?
Both. We run migration assessments and wave planning alongside landing-zone design, so moved workloads land on a governed foundation instead of recreating the old mess.
What is FinOps and do we need it?
FinOps is the practice of making cloud spend understandable and accountable. If your bill is growing and no one can attribute it, you need it — it typically surfaces 20%+ in safe savings quickly.
Can you integrate our cloud with existing systems?
Yes. We pair infrastructure with integration expertise (Oracle Integration Cloud and modern iPaaS) so workloads connect to the business, not just get hosted.
Do you hand over or run it?
Both. We build in IaC with runbooks for your team, or run a retainer with cost reviews, drift monitoring and architecture office hours.
How does this connect to AI and data work?
Cloud foundations are the substrate for data platforms and AI agents. We design them to host Databricks, Snowflake and governed agent workloads — see our Data and AI Governance practices.
