What our clients have to say

Audit of Active AWS Services (e.g. EC2, S3, CloudFront)

We begin by conducting a thorough audit of your current AWS environment to identify all active services in use, including EC2 instances, S3 buckets, CloudFront distributions, and more. This step helps surface any underutilised or forgotten resources that may be incurring unnecessary costs or introducing security risks. Our team maps out your infrastructure usage in clear terms, making it easy to see exactly what’s running, what it’s doing, and whether it aligns with your business goals.

Cost Breakdown and Right-Sizing Recommendations

Following the audit, we provide a detailed breakdown of your AWS spending, highlighting where your budget is going and which services are consuming the most resources. Using real-world usage data and AWS best practices, we offer right-sizing recommendations that help you reduce costs without compromising performance. This could include downsizing instances, switching to reserved or spot instances, or consolidating workloads to reduce overhead.

Security and Compliance Gaps

We identify potential security vulnerabilities and compliance concerns in your setup, such as exposed storage, open ports, or misconfigured IAM roles. Our review includes checks against industry standards and AWS Well-Architected Framework principles to ensure your environment is not only secure but also aligned with best practices for data protection and operational integrity. If your business is subject to regulatory requirements (such as ISO 27001 or the Australian Privacy Act), we’ll flag any areas that may need further attention.

Scalability and Workflow Efficiency Report

Beyond cost and security, we assess whether your AWS setup is scalable and future-ready. We review how your resources are configured to support growth, and whether your current architecture promotes efficient workflows across teams and services. From load balancing and autoscaling groups to serverless execution paths and CI/CD pipelines, we’ll provide insights into opportunities for improved performance, faster deployment times, and reduced operational bottlenecks, helping you build a cloud environment that supports your next stage of growth.

AWS (Amazon Web Services) offers businesses a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective way to access enterprise-grade infrastructure without the need for significant upfront investment.

With a pay-as-you-go model, businesses can scale resources as they grow, while only paying for what they use. This allows businesses to compete with larger or more established competitors in their market without requiring the capital outlay that is often required to bring new services or products to the market.

As an AWS Partner, Arvo Agency brings specialised expertise and proven experience to help businesses maximise the value of AWS. We don’t just implement cloud solutions — we tailor them to align with your unique goals, whether that means improving site performance, enhancing data security, or enabling more efficient workflows. Our team ensures a smooth transition to the cloud with minimal disruption, ongoing support, and best-practice architecture. Partnering with Arvo means gaining a strategic advisor who understands both the technical capabilities of AWS and the commercial realities of your business — helping you innovate with confidence and scale with purpose. Beyond cloud services, Arvo also delivers high-impact websites, branding and design solutions, creating a cohesive digital presence that drives engagement, reinforces trust, and supports long-term business growth.

Cloud Account Management

If you’re struggling to manage your existing Cloud account, you are not alone. As you will no doubt already know, the Cloud providers often use “marketing names” to describe their services – instead of using terms that you may already be familiar with. This can lead to your staff being fearful of changing any aspect of your cloud environment – as they are uncertain as to the potential flow-on effects of any change.

Put simply, we can manage your Cloud account for you. Our level of engagement with you can vary between us acting as a point of review prior to any change being made to your Cloud account through to us fully managing your account and making any changes you request directly on your behalf.

Cloud Account Review

Based on our previous experiences, the majority of businesses that utilise cloud-based services are doing this in a sub-optimal way. This usually includes at least some of the following:
  • A misconfiguration of services so that they are not being accessed properly – usually leading to a loss of reliability or redundancy
  • Incorrectly sized services – meaning that a business is paying more than they should be for their cloud hosting
  • Security vulnerabilities – such as making private cloud services available publicly on the internet
  • Backup failures and misconfigurations – leading to key business data being missed entirely from the backup schedule or the backed up data being held for an inadequate period of time

If any of these concerns ring true for you or if you simply don’t understand what your business has in the cloud, we can help you. We can conduct a simple or a detailed review of your cloud-based hosting and produce a report which will inform you of any items of concern for your business.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Migration

If you’re not in the cloud and don’t know where to begin, we can help you. Working with one of our cloud specialists, we will work with you to firstly establish your motivation for moving towards the cloud and will identify the key benefits that you are looking for at the end of your migration.

We will then design a migration plan that meets these objectives. The plan will also include:

  • Cost estimates – broken down by up-front costs and ongoing costs
  • Options to decrease or increase costs – depending on your business’s specific needs
  • Implementation timelines – including the estimated outages or interruptions to your business
