Managed Cloud Services: 24x7 Operations for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud
Managed cloud services are the outsourced, recurring operation of cloud workloads after they go live: monitoring, incident response, patching, backups, database and Kubernetes upkeep, security triage, cost control and governance, delivered against written service levels. NTSPL provides these across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud from India, as twelve separable services that clients combine according to what their own teams keep.

Managed Cloud Services at a Glance
Migration projects end with a handover document and a team that is already moving to the next priority. The estate keeps changing: new services, new accounts, new versions, new threats and a bill that grows a little every month. Most Indian mid-market companies cannot staff three shifts of engineers for monitoring, a DBA, a Kubernetes specialist, a security analyst and a FinOps practitioner. The result is predictable: alerts nobody reads at night, upgrades postponed until they are forced, backups never restored and policy exemptions that never expire.
NTSPL's managed cloud services split that work into twelve services with their own scope, cadence and service levels, from 24x7 monitoring and incident command to governance operations and service reviews. Clients choose the services they need and keep the rest in-house under a written RACI. Every service runs on native tooling in your accounts, with changes made through code and evidence retained in Indian regions, so you keep control and can audit everything we do.
Twelve Operating Services in Four Groups
Detect and respond
A staffed NOC watches user journeys and golden signals around the clock, an incident commander runs every P1 bridge, and security analysts triage threat detections and contain leaked credentials or exposed data within minutes. These three services share one event pipeline and escalation matrix.
24x7 Cloud Monitoring
Round-the-clock cloud monitoring run by NTSPL's NOC: synthetic journeys, tuned thresholds, 5-minute acknowledgement and noise cut by 80%+ across clouds.
Incident Management
NTSPL runs cloud incident response: severity matrix, incident commander, 15-minute P1 bridges, stakeholder updates and post-incident reviews that stick.
Cloud Security Operations
NTSPL's analysts triage cloud threat alerts 24x7, run containment playbooks within minutes and report posture monthly for RBI, SEBI and DPDP evidence.
Run the platform
Day-2 upkeep of what your workloads sit on: infrastructure changes made through pull requests with nightly drift control, ringed OS patching against hardened baselines, remote DBA duties on managed databases, and quarterly Kubernetes upgrade trains with monthly node image refresh. Each runs on a published calendar agreed with service owners.
Cloud Infrastructure Management
NTSPL runs cloud infrastructure day to day: IaC change requests, drift detection, end-of-life tracking, certificates and DNS on AWS, Azure and GCP.
Patch & Configuration Management
NTSPL patches cloud VMs in rings with severity SLAs, keeps CIS-hardened configuration enforced and gives auditors monthly compliance evidence.
Managed Database Operations
NTSPL's DBAs run your cloud databases: slow-query reviews, version upgrades via blue-green, failover drills, PITR checks and 24x7 replication watch.
Managed Kubernetes & Containers
NTSPL runs day-2 Kubernetes: version upgrades every quarter, node image patching, add-on lifecycle, deprecated API checks and 24x7 cluster incident SLAs.
Protect and optimise
Daily backup job review with monthly restore tests into isolated accounts, capacity models that track quotas and hard limits ahead of peak events, and weekly cost operations that triage anomalies, schedule non-production and clear idle resources. Savings and restore results are both logged as evidence, not estimates.
Backup Operations
NTSPL runs your cloud backups daily: failed-job fixes within one business day, restore requests on SLA, monthly restore tests and audit-ready reports.
Performance & Capacity Management
NTSPL tracks cloud headroom, quotas and latency budgets monthly, load-tests before peak events and catches performance regressions after each release.
Cloud Cost Operations
NTSPL works your cloud bill every week: anomaly triage within 24 hours, non-prod schedules, idle-resource cleanup tickets and commitment tracking in INR.
Govern and report
Account and subscription vending with guardrails applied from the first minute, dated policy exceptions and monthly compliance reviews, plus service reports built from source telemetry and ticket data. Quarterly reviews with your CIO or CTO decide what to improve next, and every decision is tracked to closure.
Cloud Governance Operations
NTSPL runs cloud governance monthly: policy compliance reviews, dated exceptions, account and subscription vending in hours and guardrail upkeep.
Service Reporting & Reviews
NTSPL reports cloud service levels monthly from source data: SLA attainment, incidents, changes, risks and cost, plus quarterly reviews with actions.
What Changes When Operations Run on SLA
How We Operate Each Hyperscaler
On AWS we operate through cross-account roles in your Organization, using CloudWatch, Systems Manager, AWS Backup, GuardDuty, Security Hub and Cost Optimization Hub. Workloads typically run in Mumbai with Hyderabad for recovery, and SCPs keep production in Indian regions. Changes go through Terraform or CloudFormation pipelines rather than console edits.
On Azure we work through Azure Lighthouse delegation, so no guest accounts are needed in your tenant. Azure Monitor, Update Manager, Business Continuity Center, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel and Cost Management are the core tools, across Central India, South India and West India, with Azure Policy and management groups carrying the guardrails.
On Google Cloud we operate with IAM groups at organisation or folder level, using Cloud Monitoring SLOs, VM Manager, Backup and DR Service, Security Command Center and billing export to BigQuery. Production usually sits in Mumbai with Delhi for recovery, and Organization Policy constraints enforce residency, labels and approved services.

Managed Cloud Services: Frequently Asked Questions
Can we buy only some of the twelve services?
Yes, and most clients do. A common starting set is 24x7 monitoring, incident management and backup operations, adding patching, databases or cost operations later. Each service has its own scope and SLA, and a RACI shows which tasks stay with your team, so there are no grey areas at handover.
How does NTSPL access our cloud without owning it?
Through delegated, least-privilege access you control: cross-account IAM roles on AWS, Azure Lighthouse on Azure and IAM groups on Google Cloud. Elevated actions use just-in-time access with session logging. You can revoke access at any time, and all infrastructure code stays in your repositories.
Do you take over from an existing managed service provider?
Yes. Transition usually takes six to ten weeks: knowledge capture and shadowing, a parallel-run period, then cutover with a signed acceptance. We inventory runbooks, credentials, open tickets and known problems from the outgoing provider before taking primary ownership.
How do managed cloud services support Indian regulatory obligations?
We keep logs and evidence in Indian regions with 180-day retention for CERT-In, enforce data residency through policy, and map reports to RBI, SEBI CSCRF or IRDAI controls where you are regulated. Regulatory accountability stays with your organisation; we provide the operational evidence and the outsourcing oversight records.
What does a typical engagement cost overall?
For a mid-market estate of 100-300 workloads taking monitoring, incident management, patching, backups and monthly reporting, combined fees usually fall between ₹4 lakh and ₹10 lakh a month, excluding cloud consumption. Onboarding is a fixed fee per service, typically recovered through cost operations savings within the first year.
Is support delivered from India and in Indian time zones?
Yes. Our NOC and engineering teams work from India in three shifts, so night-time and weekend coverage does not depend on offshore hand-offs. Escalation contacts, review meetings and reports follow IST, and quarterly reviews can be held in person for clients in major Indian cities.
