TC2 CloudZen Managed Services & Support – a New Generation of Cloud Managed Services
01 - The challenge

The challenge
Operating workloads in the cloud has become both an opportunity and a challenge for modern businesses. While AWS provides unparalleled flexibility, scalability, and innovation, ensuring that workloads are consistently optimized requires continuous effort. Many organizations underestimate the complexity of cloud operations, assuming that once their systems are deployed, they will run smoothly without much intervention. In reality, successful cloud management involves constant attention to performance, cost, and security. Cloud managed services are becoming increasingly popular: they allow companies to offload the burden of day-to-day technical tasks and instead focus on strategic business growth. By combining proactive cloud monitoring, structured governance, and efficient AWS support plans, organizations can achieve both resilience and cost-effectiveness in their AWS environments. The magic of AWS platform widespread adoption lies in its modularity and excellent integration.
Preparing our solution for production use is harder. Best practice architecture patterns must be applied to avoid dead ends in terms of scalability, security and cost while keeping an agile and flexible mindset.
Keeping our production systems optimized all the time is cumbersome. Teams operating and supporting the AWS workloads have to continuously monitor and adjust systems configurations to keep costs down, make sure security is applied at all layers, operation excellence, reliability and performance has an optimal tuning as per business requirements. Besides these everyday tasks, it is better to keep an eye on the endless innovation coming in the form of daily AWS announcements, which can provide beneficial new features for your business.
TC2, as a certified AWS Managed Service Provider Partner covers all aspects of operating, governing and optimizing AWS platform solutions, so that you can focus on your business values.
We also offer Partner Led Support to resolve any unforeseen AWS platform issues end to end working with AWS Premium Support.

The solution
TC2 CloudZen Support
AWS strongly recommends purchasing AWS Premium support for any production workloads running on the AWS platform. On the other hand, as AWS Support normally does not provide hands-on professional services, only provides recommendations to the customer infrastructure, customers either must have in-house AWS experts, or they must engage with an AWS Partner.
To maximize efficiency and get the best out of the two different types of support, AWS has created Partner Led Support, where the AWS Partner acts as the level 1 party for incoming AWS support tickets backed by AWS Enterprise support. The benefits of this model are increased accuracy and quicker resolution times in resolving issues, as the AWS partner can quickly take actions. If anything needs to be checked under the hood, the partner escalates the issue to the AWS Premium Support, acting as level 2 Support layer in this model.
TC2 has created a Partner Led Support offering, which is built on top of AWS Business support features and offers hands-on Professional Services, for a comparable, fair price. Our mission is to accelerate time to resolution for our customers AWS issues and improve the overall AWS Support experience even more.
What’s included in our services:
- TC2 ProServ hands-on remediations by AWS certified engineers
- AWS Premium Support access via TC2
- AWS platform diagnostic tools access via TC2
- 24x7x365 Incident Response & Remediation
- 24x7x365 Service request Response & Resolution
- Periodic Technical Cost Optimization Review
- SLA based committed reaction and resolution times based on systems Priority
-
- First reaction times from 1 hour
-
- Resolution times from 4 hours
- Infrastructure as Code support for change management
- 3rd party tools for smooth end user experience
This plan is recommended for AWS users, who have existing skills and capabilities to operate AWS workloads, but they need to have official AWS support and extra workforce to carry out AWS incident resolution.
While AWS Premium Support is highly valuable, many organizations require a more hands-on approach. This is especially true when dealing with mission-critical workloads where delays in troubleshooting can result in lost revenue or reputation damage.
That’s why AWS support plans offered through TC2 provide a practical hybrid: customers gain the benefits of AWS expertise while also having immediate access to certified professionals who can take direct action. Unlike standard support, where recommendations may still need in-house execution, Partner Led Support ensures that issues are not only identified but resolved promptly. This approach reduces downtime, accelerates project timelines, and enhances confidence in cloud monitoring practices.

This plan is recommended for AWS users, who have existing AWS workloads, or are planning to migrate their systems to AWS in the near future. Our services are specifically useful for those who don’t yet have or don’t want to build inhouse skills for managing, optimizing and supporting their AWS workloads but rather want to focus on product development.
The real advantage of cloud managed services is the ability to shift the responsibility of ongoing maintenance and optimization to experts who live and breathe AWS. Instead of dedicating valuable internal resources to constant troubleshooting and updates, businesses can rely on a team that proactively handles cloud monitoring, patch management, and performance tuning.
In addition, cloud operations are becoming increasingly intertwined with financial strategies, and approaches such as FinOps are emerging to help organizations strike the right balance between spending and value. Through continuous reviews, TC2 ensures that workloads remain not only technically sound but also financially optimized.
