Frequent
Questions

A few practical things about working together: costs, scope, and where to start.

Can you help reduce our AWS bill?

Yes. I review compute, networking, storage, and idle resources, then prioritize changes by savings and operational risk. The paid audit includes written findings and Terraform patches. Actual savings depend on your account and workloads.

What happens during the free AWS bill review?

We share your Cost Explorer for 15 minutes and identify the top three fixes together. You keep the advice. The free call does not include a written report or require a paid engagement.

Do you work with startups and small teams?

Yes. My services are designed for teams that need practical infrastructure help. Focused work has a defined scope; ongoing fractional DevOps support is quoted as a monthly retainer.

Can you improve an existing CI/CD pipeline?

Yes. I work with existing GitHub Actions or GitLab CI pipelines, Terraform, and GitOps deployments. We agree on the scope and rollout strategy before changing the delivery process.

Can you fix or secure self-hosted applications?

Yes. I set up and repair applications such as n8n, Ghost, Metabase, Coolify, and Dokploy. The work can include SSL, server access, health checks, off-server backups, and a real restore test.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I am based in Morocco and work remotely. Calls, access arrangements, scope, and handover are agreed before work starts.

How does a DevOps engagement begin?

Send a short description of your setup and what is getting in the way. I will suggest the next step and provide a scope and quote before starting. For AWS costs, you can begin with the free bill review.
