Service
Build, Connect, and Automate Your Azure Infrastructure
End-to-end Azure cloud engineering: integration layer design and build (Logic Apps, Function Apps, APIM, Service Bus, Event Hub, Key Vault), ARM template deployments across multi-environment pipelines (DEV → SIT → UAT → PROD), CI/CD automation via Azure DevOps, security hardening, and cloud observability (Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Tempo, OpenTelemetry) — included in every engagement.
The Reality
What This Solves
These are the Azure infrastructure problems that surface once environments grow past what a single team can manage by hand.
DEV, SIT, UAT, and PROD drift apart because deployments are manual
When infrastructure is stood up by hand, each environment diverges quietly over time. What works in DEV breaks in PROD because the resources were never actually identical. ARM templates and Azure DevOps pipelines are the only reliable fix — and most teams don't have them.
APIs are exposed without a consistent management layer
Endpoints get stood up ad hoc across different services — each with its own authentication, versioning, and throttling, or none at all. Without Azure API Management governing access centrally, every new integration adds risk instead of removing it.
There is no reliable way to know what Azure is doing in production
Azure Monitor alone isn't enough. Without logs, metrics, and traces unified in a single pane — Grafana with Loki, Mimir, and Tempo — teams spend hours reconstructing what happened after an incident instead of preventing it.
Secrets and connection strings live in app settings instead of Key Vault
Credentials scattered across Function Apps and Logic Apps configuration make rotation slow and auditing nearly impossible — exactly the kind of gap that surfaces during a compliance or security review.
How It Works
The Azure Clarity Framework
Whether the engagement is a single integration layer or a full multi-environment pipeline build, every project runs through the same four-phase model — so there are no surprises about what is being built, when it lands, or why.
- Phase 01 — AssessWeek 1
Current State Documented and Baselined Before Touching Anything
The free cloud assessment isn't a sales call — it's a structured audit: Azure Advisor recommendations, cost and usage reports, stakeholder interviews, and a documented performance and security baseline. You receive a current-state picture before scope is discussed.
- Azure cost baseline report with idle and over-provisioned resource inventory
- Architecture review document against the Well-Architected Framework pillars
- Risk and security register — open findings prioritised by severity
- Proposed engagement scope and ROI estimate — no obligation to proceed
- Phase 02 — ArchitectWeeks 2–3
Target State Designed, Reviewed, and Approved Before Any Work Begins
Target-state architecture is designed using the Cloud Adoption Framework as the structural backbone and the Well-Architected Framework as the quality gate. Every design decision is documented with the rationale. Nothing gets built until the architecture has passed review and received client sign-off.
- Target architecture diagram (network topology, identity, governance, environment layout)
- WAF review report with specific remediation items mapped to implementation phases
- Prioritised roadmap: phased delivery plan with effort estimates and dependency order
- Security baseline specification (NSG rules, IAM roles, Key Vault policies)
- Phase 03 — ImplementWeeks 4–10
Phased Delivery — Infrastructure First, Workloads Second, Automation Throughout
Implementation follows the approved roadmap in two-week sprints with a written summary at each milestone. ARM templates and Azure DevOps pipelines are used for every resource so your team has full visibility and can operate independently. Workloads are promoted through DEV → SIT → UAT → PROD — no skipping steps.
- Azure environment deployed via ARM templates with full version history in Azure DevOps
- CI/CD pipeline configured on Azure DevOps — automated build, test, and deploy
- Workloads migrated and validated against defined acceptance criteria per environment
- Security findings from Phase 01 remediated and verified before handover
- Phase 04 — Validate & HandoverWeeks 11–12
You Own It — Fully Documented, Benchmarked Against the Baseline, and Operated by Your Team
Every KPI established in Phase 01 is closed out, all documentation is delivered, and a structured knowledge transfer ensures your team operates the environment independently. A 30-day post-handover support window is included in every engagement to catch anything that surfaces in production.
- Performance and cost report benchmarked against the Week 1 baseline — measurable outcomes
- Operational runbooks and architecture decision records (ADRs) for every component
- Two-session knowledge transfer workshop with your technical team
- 30-day post-handover support window included at no additional cost
