An IT & cloud practice being quietly built on the Canadian Prairies.

CedarCloud is a personal project working toward an independent IT & cloud services practice. This page is a preview of what's being planned — no services are yet being offered for sale, and nothing on this page should be read as a commitment to provide one.

The build so far

Where the project is today, and where it's headed.

CedarCloud is being built openly. This roadmap reflects the honest state of the project — what's working, what's in progress, and what's still only an intention.

Earlier

Domain & brand secured

Registered cedarcloud.ca and began shaping a visual identity that reflects the combination of Canadian landscape and cloud infrastructure.

Current

Home-lab & skills development

Setting up a personal lab environment to rehearse installations, migrations, backups, and monitoring workflows on real hardware before offering them to anyone else.

Preview site & interest list

This website. The goal is simply to show progress openly and let people who might be interested in future services leave their details so they can be contacted at launch.

In progress

Planned

Business registration & first pilot work

Completing the formal steps to register as a business in Saskatchewan, and taking on a small number of no-cost or low-cost pilot engagements with friends and family to build experience and references.

Planned
Future

Public launch of services

Only once the lab, workflows, and first pilot experiences are solid will CedarCloud open for paid work. Pricing, SLAs, and terms will be published at that time — not before.

What's being planned

The kinds of work CedarCloud intends to offer.

These are the service areas the project is aiming toward. None are being sold or delivered yet — this is a look at the planned direction, included so interested visitors can tell whether it might one day be relevant to them.

Important: Everything on this page is aspirational. No contracts, quotes, or service agreements are being offered. If you're researching an IT provider for an active need, please consider an established firm — and come back to CedarCloud when it launches.
Planned

Cloud migration & hosting

Intended scope: helping small organisations move to or between cloud platforms — picking the right service, sizing it correctly, and executing the cutover cleanly.

AWS Azure Microsoft 365 Self-hosted
Planned

Remote & on-site IT support

Intended scope: general break-fix, endpoint management, and small-network troubleshooting for individuals and small businesses within travel distance of home base.

Windows macOS Linux Networking
Planned

Consultation & second opinions

Intended scope: short, focused sessions to talk through infrastructure choices, vendor evaluations, or a specific problem — before anything gets signed.

Reviews Vendor evaluation Planning
Planned

Hardware & network installation

Intended scope: small-scale installation work — consumer and prosumer access points, router/firewall setups, structured cabling, and user-machine provisioning.

UniFi MikroTik Cabling
Planned

Backups & recovery planning

Intended scope: setting up reliable backup routines, testing restores, and documenting a plan for what happens when something fails — so you're not figuring it out under pressure.

3-2-1 strategy Tested restores Runbooks
Planned

Security basics

Intended scope: helping small teams adopt everyday-security fundamentals — MFA, password managers, endpoint protection, and staff-awareness guidance.

About the project

Built slowly, so the foundation holds.

CedarCloud is an independent project — one person, a home lab, and the intention to turn a long interest in infrastructure into an honest small practice serving the community.

The pace is deliberate. Before anything is sold, every workflow is rehearsed in the lab. Before any commitment is made to a client, the skills behind it have been used in anger. That's the cedar part of the name — slow-growing and worth the wait.

If you're here early, thank you for the interest. There's nothing to buy today, but you're welcome to follow the progress and be among the first to hear when CedarCloud opens up.

Guiding intentions

Principles the practice is being built around.

These aren't promises to clients yet — there are no clients. They're the standards the project is being shaped to meet before it's ready to open.

01 / INTENTION

Be honest about capability

Only offer services that have been learned, practised, and tested — not services that sound impressive on a page.

02 / INTENTION

Documentation as a deliverable

Leave every engagement with clear notes and a runbook the client genuinely owns, not a black box that needs us to untangle.

03 / INTENTION

No lock-in without disclosure

Any choice that makes switching providers harder should be flagged in plain language before it's made.

04 / INTENTION

Start local, grow carefully

Begin in the community, take on only what can be done well, and grow only at the speed that quality can keep up with.

Current status

Nothing to sign up for yet — check back as the project grows.

CedarCloud is still in its earliest shape. No contact details, signup forms, or service channels have been published, and nothing is being actively marketed. When the project reaches a point where it's ready to hear from people, that will be announced here — openly, on this page.
