FDE

AI is easy in a demo.
We make it work in your production.

FDE is simple: a senior CloudThinker engineer joins your team, brings our AI operations agents, sets them up inside your own cloud — and hands your team the keys. You buy a working result, not a report.

30 minutes with an engineer, not a sales deck

Payment-service runbook is now a skill. @Oliver will run the RDS-failover checks you do by hand every Monday.

That check used to eat my Monday morning. Approving the fix now.

Why FDE

AI doesn't fail in demos.
It fails after launch.

The pilot worked. Then it met your real permissions, your real data, and your real on-call rotation.

Your environment isn't the demo

Permissions are slightly wrong, data is incomplete, knowledge is stale. Closing those gaps takes an engineer writing code inside your systems — not a consultant with a checklist.

Agents must be operated, not installed

An agent in production needs testing, guardrails, and someone accountable when it does something surprising. One bad week can undo a quarter of trust — someone has to own that loop.

The people who can do this are scarce

Engineers who can build agents and live inside a customer environment are the hottest hire in tech. You could spend two quarters recruiting one — or borrow ours next week.

How it works

Embed. Build. Transfer.

Embedweek 1

We join your team, not your inbox

Your engineer joins your team's chat and meetings, gets read-only access, and learns how your operations really work — including the parts nobody ever wrote down.

Buildweeks 2–8

Production code, in your environment

We turn your team's manual procedures into automated agent workflows, connected to the tools you already use — running in your own cloud, under your rules, with every action logged.

Transferfrom week 8

Your team owns it — measurably

We train your engineers to build and extend agents themselves. Our success metric is honest: the system needs fewer FDE interventions every week, until it needs none.

This is how the industry's best AI deployments actually happen: an engineer on the ground, building in your environment, then handing over ownership. Not a consulting deck, not outsourced staff — one accountable engineer, backed by a platform with 325+ ready-made operations.

What we build

You keep working systems, not slideware

Every engagement leaves running software your team operates — and the knowledge to extend it.

Custom agents for your runbooks

Your incident playbooks, failover checks, and cost reviews become agent skills — executed the way your best engineer does them, every time, with approval gates where you want them.

Integrations with your actual stack

AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Datadog, GitLab, Jira, Slack — plus the internal tools nothing integrates with. If your ops live in it, the agents reach it, with scoped credentials.

Evals and guardrails before autonomy

Every agent is tested against your real scenarios before it may act alone. It starts by recommending; it earns the right to act — and everything it does can be rolled back.

A team that can carry it forward

Pairing sessions, documented patterns, and a working example your engineers extended themselves during the engagement — so the capability stays when we leave.

Managed 24/7

Don't want to run it yourself?
We operate it — around the clock.

Managed Cloud Service: our operation team and agents run your cloud on an SLA — you keep approval power over every change.

Closed loop

Detect → Resolve → Validate

Agents detect issues across your cloud, observability, and security tools; fixes wait for human approval; every fix is validated before the loop closes.

Human oversight

Real engineers on duty

SREs, security, and DevOps engineers supervise the agents 24/7 — the same FDEs who built your deployment, on call when judgment is needed.

SLA-backed

Uptime, escalation, tickets

Uptime monitoring, on-call escalation, and ticket SLAs in your own ITSM — service delivery you can hold us to, in writing.

CloudThinker AgenticOps Operating Model — operation team of SREs, security and DevOps engineers oversee the AgenticOps platform, which orchestrates Detect → Resolve (human approval) → Validate closed-loop automation across cloud, observability, SIEM and ITSM surfaces, with SLA-backed uptime monitoring, on-call escalation and ticket delivery
Engagements
