Pilot announcement

Your AWS recovery. Engineered. Tested. Yours.

Introducing the £3,000 Dockfield DR-as-Code founding pilot: one AWS workload, automated recovery engineering and complete technical handover. No initial IaC baseline required.

£3,000Fixed-scope pilot
~5 daysEngineering effort
1-2 weeksIndicative elapsed time
Full handoverOptional maintenance

Build recovery confidence around one application that matters. We reverse engineer its agreed AWS configuration into a Terraform recovery blueprint, engineer a guided AWS-native CI/CD workflow and run one controlled recovery exercise.

Your team receives the client-specific code, pipeline configuration, runbook, test evidence and a handover walkthrough. You can operate the delivered workflow independently; ongoing maintenance is optional.

01 / The recovery capability

From live AWS to recovery your team can run.

01

Discover

Map the agreed live AWS resources and dependencies. No initial IaC baseline is required.

02

Engineer

Reverse engineer to Terraform and configure AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild with agreed approval gates.

03

Recover

Run one approved recovery exercise in the target account/region and measure the agreed checks.

04

Hand over

Transfer the client-specific code, runbook, evidence and operating knowledge to your team.

No initial IaC required

Start from the existing AWS configuration. Data, secrets, certificates and external dependencies are addressed separately; configuration discovery alone does not restore data.

Resilience you can measure

A tested recovery path into a separate account and/or region reduces dependence on manual reconstruction. Measure service restoration time (RTO) and potential data loss (RPO).

Independent after handover

Receive Terraform, pipeline configuration, dependency notes, a runbook, test evidence and a team walkthrough. Maintenance is entirely optional.

Performance ambition: the best achievable RTO and RPO for the agreed workload, budget and AWS recovery methods. Sub-hour RTO and near-zero RPO are objectives where feasible, not blanket guarantees. Results are measured during the exercise; real incidents can differ.

02 / Delivery roadmap

Five engineering days. Four clear milestones.

Typically scheduled across 1-2 calendar weeks after access and prerequisites are ready.

M0 / Before startScope approved

Workload, access, success criteria, signed proposal and £1,500 upfront.

M1 / End of day 1Recovery design agreed

Dependencies, data recovery method, prerequisites and RTO/RPO targets.

M2 / End of day 4Recovery demonstrated

Measured results, application checks and documented recovery gaps.

M3 / End of day 5Capability transferred

In-scope adjustments, code, report, walkthrough, acceptance and £1,500 balance.

AWS provisioning, data volumes and customer approvals can extend elapsed time. Extra complexity and work beyond the agreed scope are quoted separately.

03 / Pricing & deliverables

A paid project. A complete handover. Your choice.

DR-as-Code engineering with optional support after delivery.

Assess

£750

Recovery gaps and a scoped plan. Fee credited against a pilot booked within 30 days.

Expand

From £8,000

Additional workloads, dependencies and automation. Separate scope and quote after discovery.

Operate independently

Execute the delivered recovery workflow with your team. No mandatory monthly subscription.

Optional maintenance

£500/month

Up to four engineering hours monthly for blueprint updates and support. No 24/7 response.

Optional recovery exercise

From £1,500

An agreed recovery test and report. Remediation and AWS costs are quoted separately.

Commercial terms: 50% upfront and 50% against agreed acceptance criteria. AWS consumption paid directly by the client. Prices exclude VAT where applicable. Data restoration is included only for an agreed method with prerequisites met. Additional workloads, integrations and out-of-scope remediation require a separate quote. Reusable Dockfield tooling usage rights are agreed in writing. The pilot covers one workload, not certification of the entire AWS estate.
