Azure Architecture & Cloud Solutions
Production systems on Microsoft Azure, built to run and yours to own
We design, build, and deploy cloud systems on Microsoft Azure: the landing zone, the infrastructure as code, the CI/CD, and the monitoring. You get systems your team can run, with dependable uptime and costs you can see.
What is Azure architecture consulting?
Azure architecture consulting is the design and build of your Microsoft Azure environment end to end: landing zones, networking, identity, compute, data, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, security, and monitoring. Done well, it gives you a scalable, secure, cost-efficient platform that your own team can run and extend.
Key Facts:
- Scope: landing zones, networking, Entra ID identity, compute, data services, IaC, CI/CD, security, observability
- Approach: infrastructure as code (Bicep or Terraform) so environments are reproducible and auditable
- Best for: companies standardizing on Azure, migrating from on-prem, or scaling existing Azure workloads
- Outcome: dependable uptime, visible costs, and a documented handoff to your team
- Cloud-agnostic: we also build on AWS and Google Cloud and recommend the platform that fits your stack
Why Teams Build Their Azure Platform With Us
We are senior engineers who build the system, hand you the keys, and stay on to run it as long as you want us. No juniors on your budget, no black box, no lock-in you did not choose.
High Availability by Design
Multi-zone and multi-region patterns, autoscaling, and failover built in from the start, so your systems stay up when it matters.
Cost You Can See
Right-sizing, reserved and spot capacity where it fits, and budgets and cost monitoring wired in, so the bill holds no surprises.
Infrastructure as Code
Your whole environment defined in Bicep or Terraform, built on Azure Verified Modules where they fit: reproducible, version-controlled, and auditable. No click-ops drift.
Security and Compliance
Identity with Entra ID, least-privilege access, network isolation, key management, and policy guardrails applied consistently.
Automated Delivery
CI/CD pipelines that build, test, and deploy safely, with quality gates and automated rollbacks so shipping stays boring.
You Own the Outcome
Documented architecture, clean handoff, and no lock-in to us. Your team runs and extends everything we build.
What We Build on Azure
End-to-end Azure architecture, from the landing zone to the pipelines that keep it running.
Landing Zones & Governance
Subscription and management-group structure, networking topology, identity, and policy guardrails that scale as you add teams and workloads.
Compute & Containers
App Service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Container Apps, and Functions, matched to each workload rather than forced into one shape.
Data & Storage
Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Blob Storage, and data pipelines designed for scale, durability, and query performance.
Networking & Delivery
Virtual networks, private endpoints, Front Door, and Application Gateway for secure, global, and performant delivery.
Observability
Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights so you can see system health, trace issues, and act before users feel them.
Cloud Migration
Phased migration of existing workloads to Azure, chosen per workload and run to minimize downtime with a clear rollback path.
How We Design and Build Your Azure Platform
A structured path from assessment to a running platform your team owns.
Assessment & Strategy
Understand your workloads, constraints, and goals. Define the target Azure architecture and a plan that fits your team and budget.
Deliverables:
- Infrastructure and workload audit
- Target architecture and landing-zone design
- Cost model and estimate
- Risk and compliance review
Architecture & Foundation
Stand up the landing zone, networking, identity, and security baseline as infrastructure as code.
Deliverables:
- Landing zone and network topology
- Entra ID identity and access model
- IaC baseline (Bicep or Terraform)
- Security and policy guardrails
Build & Migrate
Build the workloads or migrate existing ones, with CI/CD and testing so changes ship safely.
Deliverables:
- Workload build or migration
- CI/CD pipelines
- Integration and performance testing
- Data migration and validation
Optimize & Support
Tune cost and performance, wire in monitoring, and document everything so your team owns it. We stay on to support and grow it.
Deliverables:
- Cost and performance optimization
- Monitoring and alerting
- Runbooks and documentation
- Team enablement and ongoing support

How this works commercially
We work three ways: a fixed price for scoped work, a monthly retainer for ongoing work, and hourly where the scope genuinely cannot be defined up front. Which one applies depends on how well the work can be described before it starts, and we will tell you which we think fits before you ask.
- Fixed price for scoped work
- Assessments, audits, and defined pilots are quoted as one number before anything starts. If the scope is knowable, the price should be knowable, and the risk of getting the estimate wrong is ours rather than yours.
- Monthly retainer for ongoing work
- Continuing leadership, build, and run work is billed monthly. This is the structure most engagements settle into once the shape of the work is clear, because it prices a relationship rather than a transaction.
- Hourly where scope is genuinely open
- Some work cannot honestly be scoped in advance. When that is the case we bill for the hours worked rather than inventing a fixed number and managing you toward it later.
- No long-term lock-in
- Engagements are not structured around multi-year minimum commitments. We would rather keep the work because it is worth keeping.
Who does the work
The people who scope your work write the code and ship it. No junior engineers are billed to client work, and the person you talk to in the first conversation is someone who will be building.
You own the code and the cloud accounts it runs in, and engagements end with documentation your team can run the system from. Full engagement terms, ownership, and procurement answers.
Let's design your Azure architecture.
Tell us what you are running today and where you want to get to. We will map the architecture, the migration path, and what your team owns at the end.
