Cloud engineering services cover the full spectrum of technical work needed to design, automate, and operate cloud infrastructure across public hyperscaler, hybrid, and on-premises environments. Ænix delivers these services with senior engineers rather than advisory-only consultants, spanning cloud architecture review, infrastructure-as-code, observability, CI/CD and GitOps, Kubernetes platform decisions, network and identity, FinOps, and compliance posture for DORA and NIS2. The work is aimed at CTOs, VP Engineering, and platform teams that need execution capacity, not just recommendations. When scope expands into a productized private cloud, the engagement pairs with an Ænix platform, the commercial offerings built on Cozystack, an Apache 2.0 CNCF project unifying virtual machines and containers on one Kubernetes API.
“Cloud engineering” covers the full spectrum from hyperscaler-native architecture to private-cloud platform engineering. The Ænix engagement applies senior engineers — not consultants — to the cloud architecture, automation, and operations work your team needs.
Pairs with: any of the three Ænix platforms once scope expands into a productized cloud platform. Stand-alone engineering augmentation is available without one.
What’s covered
- Cloud architecture review and target design (public, private, hybrid)
- Infrastructure-as-code maturity (Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, Crossplane)
- Observability stack engineering (VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
- CI/CD and GitOps maturity
- Container orchestration (Kubernetes platform decisions)
- Network and identity engineering
- FinOps integration
- Compliance posture (DORA, NIS2, sectoral)

Ænix created Cozystack, a CNCF project and CNCF Certified Kubernetes distribution, and maintains it with maintainers from other companies. Ænix sells three platforms built on it — Public Cloud, Private Cloud and AI — plus support and services.
Frequently asked questions
What does Ænix cloud engineering cover?
Cloud architecture review and target design across public, private, and hybrid; infrastructure-as-code maturity; observability stack engineering; CI/CD and GitOps; Kubernetes platform decisions; network and identity engineering; FinOps integration; and compliance posture for DORA, NIS2, and sectoral requirements.
How is this different from advisory consulting?
Ænix applies senior engineers who do the architecture, automation, and operations work directly, rather than producing recommendations a separate team must implement. Engagements range from a short architecture review to multi-month implementation or an ongoing managed engagement.
What engagement options are available?
Three modes: an architecture review (5-10 days), an implementation engagement (1-6 months), and a managed engagement for ongoing operations. Stand-alone engineering augmentation is available even if you are not yet evaluating an Ænix platform.
Do I have to adopt an Ænix platform or Cozystack to use these services?
No. Cloud engineering is offered stand-alone across hyperscaler, hybrid, and on-prem stacks. When scope expands into a productized private cloud, the engagement can pair with an Ænix platform, which is built on the open-source Cozystack project.
Can the engineering work address DORA and NIS2 compliance?
Yes. Compliance posture for DORA, NIS2, and sectoral regulations is part of the standard scope, covering the architecture, automation, and operational controls these frameworks require.
What technologies do the engineers work with?
Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, and Crossplane; observability with VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry; Kubernetes orchestration; and, where a private cloud is in scope, Cozystack (KubeVirt for VMs and containers, Cilium eBPF networking, LINSTOR/DRBD storage, Tenant CRD multi-tenancy).
