Architecture & migration
Well-architected environments designed around how you actually work, and existing workloads moved to the cloud with minimal disruption.
Cloud Services
Your cloud, expertly administered.
Micstral is an independent cloud systems administration practice — senior infrastructure, security and day-to-day operations for teams who need it built right and kept running smoothly.
What I do
From first architecture to everyday operations.
A senior pair of hands across the full lifecycle of your cloud — design, build, secure, and run. AWS depth, with fluency across the other major platforms.
Infrastructure as code
Reproducible, auditable infrastructure with CloudFormation and Terraform — including multi-account roll-outs via StackSets — so nothing lives only in someone's head.
Security & compliance
Guardrails that hold up to scrutiny: IAM done properly, plus GuardDuty, Inspector, Config and CloudTrail, with sensible auto-remediation where it earns its place.
Managed operations
The day-to-day running of your platform — monitoring, patching, backups, networking and VPN. The unglamorous work that keeps everything dependable.
Cost & performance
Well-Architected reviews and right-sizing to keep spend proportionate and performance steady as you grow — no surprises on the monthly bill.
Advisory & support
A senior specialist on call for the decisions and the incidents that genuinely benefit from experience — clear answers, when you need them.
About
Named for the wind. Built for the cloud.
Micstral takes its name from the Mistral, the fast, clear wind that sweeps through the south of France — and from Michael, the engineer behind it. Fast-moving air, steady hands: that is the whole idea.
You work directly with a senior cloud specialist, an IT professional with over 20 years experience, without the overhead or hand-offs of a larger agency. Clear communication, careful work, and infrastructure you can actually trust.
- Senior by defaultYou get experience on the work itself, not a junior with an escalation path.
- Independent & directOne point of contact who understands the whole picture — no account-manager telephone game.
- Built to be handed overDocumented, reproducible work with no lock-in. Your infrastructure stays yours.
