Managed Cloud Services: What's Included and What to Ask

TiCON Cloud TeamMay 8, 20261 min read

Managed cloud should free your team to build while someone else keeps the lights on. But coverage varies widely — here's what a strong managed service includes.

What good managed cloud covers

  • 24×7 monitoring, alerting, and incident response
  • Patching, backups, and tested disaster recovery
  • Security operations: IAM, secrets, vulnerability scanning
  • Cost optimization (FinOps) and a named Technical Account Manager

Questions to ask any provider

  • What's your response-time SLA, and is it 24×7?
  • Do I get a named TAM, or a ticket queue?
  • Is FinOps included, or extra?
  • Can you bill in BDT?

The TiCON answer

Named TAM, 24×7 SRE, security and FinOps included, all on a single BDT invoice — without AWS Enterprise Support fees.
