Cloud & Azure

A cloud that costs what you actually use

Most Azure estates grow one urgent deployment at a time, and the bill grows with them. We review what you are running and what it costs, put the infrastructure into code, and move the workloads still sitting on servers in a cupboard onto managed services built to stay cheap.

You are probably here because

  • The Azure bill keeps rising and nobody can say which workload is responsible.
  • Deployments are done by hand, by the one person who knows how.
  • Applications still run on on-premises servers or VMs nobody wants to patch.
  • You are not sure the backups restore, or what happens when a region has a bad day.

What we work on

The services behind your applications, built to deploy cleanly and hold their shape under load.

Cost and architecture

Spend tied back to the workloads that cause it, rightsized, reserved where it pays and switched off where it does not.

Infrastructure as code

Environments in Bicep or Terraform, so they can be rebuilt, reviewed and promoted rather than remembered.

Delivery pipelines

CI/CD that builds, tests and deploys every change the same way, with secrets and identities handled properly.

Migration and modernization

Workloads moved onto App Service, Container Apps, Functions or AKS — chosen on cost and fit, not on fashion.

Fixed-scope entry offers

A first step a manager can approve

Every engagement can start with one of these. Each has a name and a scope written down before we start, so the first decision is a small one — and you see how we work before committing to anything larger.

Cloud Cost & Architecture Review

Your Azure bill read line by line against the architecture behind it — where the money goes, what can be cut, and what is one bad day away from an outage.

What is included

  • Spend broken down by workload and environment
  • Rightsizing, reservations and idle resources identified
  • Resilience, security and backup gaps flagged
  • Changes ranked by monthly saving and effort

You walk away with

A prioritised list of changes with the saving next to each one, so you can see what the review is worth before acting on any of it.

Pipeline & Infrastructure as Code

Environments defined in code, deployments that run from a pipeline rather than a person, and the monitoring to know when something breaks.

What is included

  • Infrastructure defined in Bicep or Terraform
  • CI/CD with promotion across environments
  • Secrets, identities and access tightened
  • Logging, metrics and alerting baseline

You walk away with

Infrastructure you can rebuild from the repository, and deployments nobody has to be nervous about.

Workload Migration

One application moved from on-premises servers or hand-built VMs onto managed Azure services, with a cutover plan and a way back.

What is included

  • Target chosen on cost and fit — App Service, Container Apps, Functions or AKS
  • Data migration and cutover rehearsed
  • Rollback plan tested before go-live
  • Runbook handed to whoever operates it next

You walk away with

A workload running on managed services, cheaper to operate, and a template for the next one.

Ask about this

Every offer is quoted as a fixed price once we have seen the scope — and a fixed price stays fixed: if it takes us longer, that is our problem, not yours.

Questions buyers ask

How much can a cloud cost review save?

It depends entirely on the estate, so we will not quote a percentage before seeing it. The review ranks every change by its monthly saving, so you can see exactly what it is worth before acting on any of it.

Do you only work with Azure?

Azure is where we go deepest, because it is where most .NET workloads live. The principles carry to AWS and Google Cloud, and if your problem needs a specialist there we will say so.

Can you migrate us off on-premises servers?

Yes — one workload at a time, with a rehearsed cutover and a tested rollback. The first migration becomes the template for the rest.

Will we be able to run it ourselves afterwards?

That is the point. Everything is in code, in your repository, with a runbook. We are happy to stay on for support, but you should never need us to operate it.

Not sure where the cloud money is going?

Tell us roughly what you run and what it costs. We will tell you whether a review is worth it — and where we would look first.
