SALT LAKE CITY, April 9, 2024—nClouds, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Services Partner, announced the acquisition of Foghorn Consulting, another AWS Premier Tier Services Partner known for its focus on cloud security, migration, and application modernization services.
Established in San Francisco in 2008, Foghorn Consulting has been an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner for over a decade and brings a highly credentialed team of cloud engineers. Foghorn’s expertise includes infrastructure as code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines (DevOps), and self-healing environments, and has achieved several AWS Competency designations, including the AWS Security Competency, AWS Migration Competency, and AWS DevOps Competency.
“As Foghorn Consulting becomes part of the nClouds family, we’re excited about the opportunity to grow our offerings and continue to deliver cutting-edge solutions for our clients in the cloud landscape,” said Foghorn Principal Ryan Fackett.
