Your AWS Environment. Always On. Always Optimised.

The challenge
Your AWS bill is growing.
Your visibility into it isn’t.
Most teams hit the same wall. AWS is running. Things mostly work. But GuardDuty findings are piling up unreviewed, the monthly bill keeps climbing without a clear explanation, patch compliance is inconsistent, and there’s no runbook for what happens at 3am when the primary RDS instance starts behaving unexpectedly.
That’s not a cloud problem. That’s an operations problem. Matellio’s managed services practice takes that off your team’s plate — with defined SLAs, continuous monitoring, and a team that has done this before.
AWS managed services scope
End-to-End AWS Operations. Six Domains. All Covered.
Matellio’s managed services practice covers six operational domains. Every domain has defined scope, tooling, and team ownership — and clear boundaries so you know exactly what’s included.
Infrastructure Monitoring - 24/7
Round-the-clock monitoring across your entire AWS environment using Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Health Dashboard, AWS CloudTrail, AWS Config, Datadog, and New Relic. We monitor ECS/EKS clusters, EC2 instances, ALBs, RDS/Aurora databases, S3 storage, VPN and network connectivity, and application infrastructure health. Alerting is configured for CPU, memory, disk, latency, unhealthy targets, failed deployments, SSL expiration, and security events. Critical incidents are escalated immediately. Monthly monitoring reviews and alert optimisation are included.
Application debugging, feature development, source-code fixes, or end-user application support.
Database Management
Operational management of Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, and Amazon DynamoDB — automated backups, snapshot verification, failover testing, storage monitoring, replication monitoring, and parameter group management. We monitor CPU utilisation, storage growth, connection counts, deadlocks, replication lag, DynamoDB throughput and throttling, latency, and failover health. Backup restoration testing and failover validation are performed quarterly, or aligned to your compliance requirements.
Schema design, application query optimisation, stored procedure development, or data modelling.
Security Operations
Continuous monitoring of AWS GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS Config, IAM activity, WAF logs, VPC Flow Logs, and CloudTrail events. Weekly and monthly security reviews depending on workload criticality. IAM permissions reviews, privileged access audits, public exposure checks, security group change monitoring, Secrets Manager usage, encryption posture, and compliance findings management. WAF rules and IP restrictions updated as part of ongoing operations. Critical GuardDuty findings are reviewed within a 4-hour SLA.
Penetration testing, SAST/DAST, third-party compliance certification audits, or application security remediation.
Patch
Management
OS patching across Linux and Windows environments using AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager and maintenance windows. Security patches applied during approved maintenance windows. Emergency patching for critical vulnerabilities handled based on severity SLAs. Patch compliance monitored, reported, and validated after every deployment.
Application feature upgrades, major software refactoring, or vendor licensing management.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
AWS Backup policy configuration and monitoring, automated snapshot management, retention rules, lifecycle policies, and backup compliance validation. Backup completion validated daily. Disaster recovery runbooks maintained and tested quarterly or semi-annually depending on your requirements. RTO/RPO alignment validated for critical workloads. Operational recovery documentation maintained and kept current.
Business continuity planning outside infrastructure, application-level reconciliation after recovery, or organisational disaster simulations.
FinOps — Cost Optimisation
Monthly and quarterly reviews of AWS usage trends, Reserved Instance and Savings Plan coverage, underutilised resources, unattached volumes, storage growth, and tagging compliance. Right-sizing recommendations across EC2, ECS, RDS, storage, and scaling configurations. We implement approved infrastructure-level optimisation changes where included in scope. Monthly cloud spend and optimisation reports with specific cost-saving recommendations.

Engagement model
What the First 90 Days Actually Look Like.
Week 1 - 2
Onboarding
Week 3 - 4
Baseline
AWS Well-Architected Review aligned assessments. Operational baselines defined. Monitoring and alerting standards implemented. Dashboards configured and operational runbooks established. Typical quick wins: right-sizing, unused resource cleanup, backup validation, IAM hardening, logging improvements, WAF and security rule updates.
Week 2 - 3
Stabilise
Full operational handover and transition to steady-state operations. CI/CD operational workflows validated. DR runbooks and escalation procedures confirmed. Patching schedules established. Initial backup restoration testing and disaster recovery validation completed for critical workloads.
Week 4+
Ongoing Operations
Monthly reviews covering incidents, cost optimisation, security findings, uptime trends, patch compliance, and operational improvements. Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) covering roadmap, architecture, compliance posture, FinOps recommendations, risk assessment, and service improvement planning.
Why Matellio
Beyond Monitoring. Here’s What You Actually Get.
Our security operations model applies a secure-by-default and least-privilege approach across every managed AWS environment. Centralised logging and audit trails, mandatory MFA enforcement, IAM least-privilege reviews, Secrets Manager adoption, encryption enforcement for data at rest and in transit, WAF and network boundary management, and patch compliance tracking are standard — not add-ons. Critical GuardDuty findings are reviewed within a 4-hour SLA. Security reviews run on a scheduled cadence, with defined escalation paths and remediation workflows for high-risk events.

About
A global media platform was running manual health checks that took up to 60 minutes per incident. No proactive alerting. Reactive by design. Matellio built and operates a centralised monitoring framework — proactive alerting, automated health-check workflows, and incident runbooks integrated into the CI/CD pipeline.
Impact
97% reduction in health-check time. Up to 48 hours of potential downtime avoided through proactive monitoring.

About
A public sector agency running domestic violence risk assessments on a sensitive data platform needed managed infrastructure meeting SOC 2, CJIS, requirements — with FBI-certified AWS GovCloud, full audit trail, and cross-agency data sharing under strict compliance constraints.
Impact
Faster case evaluations. Stronger inter-agency collaboration. Demonstrably improved compliance posture. GovCloud environment fully managed with ongoing audit readiness.
