Azure architecture and designs

Every solution must be built on a well-defined design. My area of expertise lies in infrastructure and the Azure platform and the governance of Azure. I have comprehensive knowledge of how these tools can assist in achieving goals and of their limitations.

All of my designs are rooted in the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework. However, each design is tailored to implement best practices that align with the specific requirements of the current project while also considering future aspirations to the greatest extent possible.

Each design has to be specific, yet flexible enough to accommodate growth and changes. Unlike a traditional data center, Azure is constantly evolving and undergoing changes. This places high demands on both the design itself and the IT staff responsible for supporting the solutions.

Common tasks include:

• Providing baseline designs and embarking on the Azure journey through workshops and design documents. This is for customers who are already utilizing Azure or planning to do so. There are seven tracks in Azure CAF, and I support all of them. However, most customers are primarily interested in 2-3 workshops that focus on their organization’s specific needs and how to incorporate them into Azure in a supported manner.

• Getting unsupported environments to a supported state. Oftentimes, the Azure journey does not happen at the same time as a design is created. Usually, some departments have ressources in Azure that were created without a plan. Consequently, it is often the case that these ressources do not comply with the design decisions taken by the organisation. I can help with an analysis of what is needed to make this happen as well as with the tasks required to bring them back into compliance.
