Cloud Architecture & Landing Zones
Subscription structure, networking, identity and governance, designed before the first workload moves in.
01 / Approach
Infrastructure you can rebuild.
Cloud environments tend to grow one manual change at a time, until nobody is sure how production is configured. We define infrastructure in code, review it like application code, and make every environment reproducible. The result is a platform that is easier to secure, cheaper to run and faster to change.
02 / What we build
Six capabilities, one platform.
Cloud Migration
Existing applications and data moved to Azure in planned stages: rehosted where that is enough, re-architected where it pays off.
Infrastructure as Code
Every resource defined, versioned and reviewed in code, so environments can be recreated on demand.
Containers & Kubernetes
Container platforms for services that need to scale independently, with sensible defaults for networking, secrets and upgrades.
Cloud Security & Compliance
Identity, network isolation, secrets management and policy enforcement built into the platform from the start.
Cost Optimization
Clear visibility into what each workload costs, right-sized resources, and reserved capacity where usage is predictable.
03 / Capability matrix
The technical detail.
| Capability | Typical question | What we do | Tooling | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture & Landing Zones | How should our Azure estate be structured? | Subscription design, hub-and-spoke networking, identity, policy | Azure Landing Zones, Entra ID, Azure Policy | Reference architecture and landing zone |
| Cloud Migration | What should move first, and how? | Workload assessment, migration waves, cutover planning | Azure Migrate, Azure Database Migration Service | Migration plan and migrated workloads |
| Infrastructure as Code | Can we recreate production from scratch? | Modular infrastructure code, review workflow, drift detection | Terraform, Bicep | Versioned infrastructure repository |
| Containers & Kubernetes | How do we run dozens of services reliably? | Cluster design, deployment patterns, autoscaling | Docker, AKS, Helm | Production container platform |
| Security & Compliance | Would we pass a security review today? | Access control, network isolation, secrets, policy as code | Entra ID, Key Vault, Defender for Cloud | Hardened environment and security baseline |
| Cost Optimization | Why is the cloud bill growing faster than usage? | Cost allocation, right-sizing, reservations, budget alerts | Azure Cost Management, Azure Advisor | Cost report and savings plan |
04 / Method
From assessment to operation.
-
01
Assess
Review current infrastructure, workloads, costs and risks, and decide what matters most.
-
02
Design
Define the target architecture, security model and landing zone.
-
03
Build
Implement the platform in code, with review and automated checks on every change.
-
04
Migrate
Move workloads in planned waves, with rollback options and minimal downtime.
-
05
Operate
Monitor reliability and cost, apply updates, and keep improving the platform.
05 / Principles
How we build platforms.
Six rules we apply to every cloud environment we design or take over.
-
Everything in code
No manual changes in production. Every resource is defined, reviewed and versioned.
-
Least privilege
People and services get only the access they need, and access is reviewed regularly.
-
Reproducible environments
Development, test and production are built from the same code.
-
Observable by default
Metrics, logs and alerts are set up with the infrastructure, not after the first incident.
-
Cost visibility
Every workload is tagged and budgeted, so spending can be traced and explained.
-
Documented operations
Runbooks and architecture documents let your team operate the platform with confidence.
