About Us
Built By Engineers. For Engineering Leaders.
We are software architects and infrastructure engineers who kept seeing clients pay a public cloud premium on workloads that did not need it.
The “Cloud First” Illusion.
Cloud agility came with variable costs. Steady-state workloads paid for elasticity and managed services they never used, which eroded margin.
Origin Story:
For over two decades, the team at Yellowstone Labs has been building custom software, managing IT infrastructure, and providing elite engineering staff augmentation for mid-market and enterprise businesses.
The Industry Trend:
Over the last ten years the industry adopted a “Cloud First” mentality. We helped many companies migrate to AWS, Azure, and GCP for agility. As those companies matured, a pattern emerged. The pricing model that bought them agility had become their larger cost.
Steady-state workloads, meaning applications with predictable traffic and storage needs, were charged premium rates for network egress, provisioned IOPS, and managed services they no longer needed. The cloud had stopped accelerating growth and started constraining margin.
The Discovery & Solution:
Moving those workloads back to high-performance bare metal could reduce monthly infrastructure bills by 40% to 70%, depending on workload mix. Proving that ROI to a CFO was taking engineering teams weeks.
So, we built the Cloud Repatriation Analyzer. We automated the financial and architectural mapping so a CTO can get the math in minutes rather than weeks.
Our Approach to Infrastructure
We focus on practical, data-driven decisions and execution that delivers measurable results - bridging the gap between cloud strategy and real-world performance.
Cloud-Smart, Not Anti-Cloud
We are not against public cloud. We are against paying for capabilities a workload does not use. We advocate a “Cloud-Smart” or hybrid approach. Variable workloads stay in the cloud, and steady-state compute and egress move to bare metal.
Data Over Dogma
Infrastructure decisions should rest on raw performance data, actual resource utilization, and financial math rather than vendor marketing. That is what the analyzer provides.
Execution Matters
An analysis is only worth what someone executes. We offer fixed-price migration services with a cutover plan built to keep downtime to a minimum.
The Team Behind the Tool.
The Cloud Repatriation Analyzer is a product of Yellowstone Labs. With over 23 years of experience, we specialize in helping businesses optimize their technology stack, build custom software solutions, and execute complex infrastructure migrations.
The analyzer comes with access to the engineering team behind it. If you generate a Repatriation Blueprint and the ROI holds up, our senior architects, DevOps engineers, and systems administrators can execute the migration.
