Infrastructure Independence
Decide which dependencies still earn their place, which should change, and what greater infrastructure independence would require.
- Current platform and dependency inventory
- Infrastructure and network review
- Cost comparison and migration modelling
- Vendor-dependency and risk assessment
Examples: AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, Oracle, SQL Server, Microsoft 365, Azure AD, Okta, OpenAI and Anthropic dependencies.
Constraint: Greater independence can increase operational responsibility; keeping the current platform may be the better decision.

Platform Migration
Move selected platforms and workloads through validation, staged coexistence, planned cutover, and rollback.
- Migration sequencing
- Proof-of-concept and pilot work
- Data and configuration synchronisation
- Parallel operation and rollback planning
Examples: Proxmox, Kubernetes, private cloud, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, ClickHouse, OpenSearch, Keycloak, FreeIPA and VyOS.
Constraint: Migration requires compatibility testing, staged validation, and a rollback plan appropriate to the environment.

Private Infrastructure
Design and build private or hybrid infrastructure with greater control over hosting, data, identity, platforms, and operations.
- Private and hybrid infrastructure design
- Platform and workload placement
- Identity and access boundary design
- Self-hosted database and collaboration platforms
Examples: Owned hardware, colocation, leased bare metal, private cloud, Proxmox, Kubernetes, Nextcloud, Keycloak, FreeIPA, PostgreSQL, private RAG and self-hosted inference.
Constraint: Private and hybrid infrastructure can increase control, but makes capacity, security, upgrades, and support explicit responsibilities.

Operational Resilience
Diagnose incidents, improve visibility, harden fragile systems, and prove that backup and recovery procedures work.
- Infrastructure audit and hardening
- Incident diagnosis and dependency tracing
- Monitoring and alerting review
- Backup and restore validation
- Runbook, access, and control-readiness improvement
Examples: OpenVPN, SSSD, Kerberos, DNS, MySQL, Bash automation, SFTP, SSH, Git-backed configuration, firewalls and VPN systems.
Constraint: Recovery readiness should be demonstrated through testing and evidence; an incident does not automatically justify migration.

Managed Infrastructure
Operate and maintain mixed infrastructure through monitoring, patching, upgrades, recovery checks, incident support, and documentation.
- Monitoring and incident support
- Patching, upgrades, and hardening
- Backup and recovery checks
- Capacity planning and runbook upkeep
Examples: Linux and open systems alongside necessary proprietary platforms, cloud services, databases, identity systems, networks, virtualisation and collaboration platforms.
Constraint: Support is defined around the existing environment and team, with clear responsibility, escalation, and response expectations.
