Cloud · Foundation
Get your AWS foundation right the first time.
A secure, well-architected AWS environment, deployed, configured and documented so your team can run it with confidence.
Short answer: Cloud Foundations sets up a production-ready AWS environment the right way from day one: accounts, networking, identity, security controls, logging and compliance guardrails, built with AWS Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA).
It also finds the cloud skills gaps on your team and gives you a training and certification plan, so the people who run the environment are ready to.
It is fixed-fee, delivered by a US-based AWS-certified team, and the foundation every later migration, modernization and AI agent runs on.
Why it matters
The early choices decide what you can do later
The way accounts, networks and permissions are set up on day one determines how easily you can scale, secure and audit the environment. Fixing a weak foundation later is slower and riskier than building a strong one first.
Governance, risk and compliance
Guardrails, account structure and policies that meet your compliance requirements from the start.
Security
Identity, access, encryption and logging configured to AWS best practices.
Operations
Monitoring, alerting and runbooks so day-to-day work is predictable.
Business continuity
Backup and recovery designed in, not added after an incident.
Skills and training
An adaptive skills survey finds the gaps; you get a targeted training and certification plan.

Common questions
What buyers ask before they call
Is Cloud Foundations fixed-fee?
Yes. We scope the environment first and then quote a fixed fee, so the cost is known before work begins.
What is AWS Landing Zone Accelerator?
An AWS solution for deploying a secure, multi-account AWS environment aligned with AWS best practices and common compliance frameworks. 11:59 uses it as the base of Cloud Foundations.
Will 11:59 have access to our production data?
No. Our team does not access production environments or privileged data.
Can AWS funding reduce the cost?
Often. AWS runs programs that can offset part of a foundation or migration project. We check eligibility during scoping.
How do California departments contract for this?
Through CMAS 3-24-01-1044 or the TDDC MSA #5-22-70-25-189, as a SOW under an existing agreement.
