Frequently Asked Questions

Iron Dragon Engineering & Consulting Pty Ltd is a cloud engineering and consulting firm that architects, builds, secures, and operates cloud infrastructure. Core services span cloud architecture and engineering, agent-assisted development, full-stack observability, DevSecOps and zero-trust security, and multi-cloud network integration — across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, accelerated by agentic AI.

Iron Dragon is based in Australia and works with organisations across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Business hours are 9am–6pm AEST, Monday to Friday.

Iron Dragon works across the three major public clouds — Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — plus hybrid and multi-cloud environments, with current architect-level certifications on Azure and AWS.

It means agentic AI is embedded directly in the engineering lifecycle, not bolted on. AI agents help write, review, and refactor code, generate and validate infrastructure-as-code, surface telemetry anomalies, and assist security checks — with human engineers directing and reviewing every change.

Security is shifted left into every build, deploy, and commit. Iron Dragon applies DevSecOps, zero-trust architecture, and defence in depth — least-privilege access, identity-centric controls, layered safeguards, automated compliance, and agentic threat detection — so issues are caught in development, not production. Our controls align with the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

GitOps is an operating model where the desired state of infrastructure and applications is declared in Git and reconciled automatically, making every change versioned, reviewable, and auditable. Yes — Iron Dragon designs and implements GitOps pipelines so environments provision themselves and configuration drift is corrected continuously.

Industry-recognised credentials across cloud architecture, identity, security, and platform engineering — including Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert, DevOps Engineer Expert, Cybersecurity Architect Expert, Identity & Access Administrator Associate, Azure Security/Network/Administrator Associate, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, and Databricks Platform Architect.

Iron Dragon engineers cloud platforms from the foundation up rather than patching existing systems, and builds agentic AI into every stage — architecture, development, observability, and security — producing infrastructure that provisions itself, detects its own faults, and remediates before issues reach production.
