Microsoft Azure

Cloud platform for teams already on Microsoft infrastructure — compute, managed databases, and AKS.

How we use it

Azure is our default when a client already runs on Microsoft infrastructure — Active Directory, .NET estates, or existing enterprise agreements. Same migration discipline as AWS: managed services first, everything defined as code.

Services we usually land

  • AKS — managed Kubernetes for containerised workloads
  • Azure SQL / Cosmos DB — managed data services
  • Blob Storage — objects, backups, static assets
  • Azure Functions — event-driven glue
  • Virtual Network — isolation and network boundaries

Typical patterns

  1. AD integration — single sign-on carried over from the existing estate
  2. Managed databases — Azure SQL or Cosmos DB with automated backups
  3. Auto-scaling — scale sets and AKS node pools on real metrics
  4. Disaster recovery — paired regions, tested restore path

Our standards on Azure

Infrastructure in Terraform. Workloads containerised on AKS. Managed databases with automated backups. Cost visibility from day one.
