Foundations built in a hurry
Networks, access and policies were set up to unblock a project and never made consistent.
Azure Platform Engineering
Build an Azure foundation your team can deploy and operate with confidence.
When core networking, security, automation and operational readiness are incomplete or inconsistent, engineers cannot build on Azure reliably. We implement the foundation in code, validate it and hand it over with a runbook.
Defined scope. Tested changes. Practical handover.
Who it’s for
Is this service right for you?
- You have an Azure workload or project with a delivery date, and the foundation is not ready
- Networking, private endpoints or DNS are inconsistent across environments
- Infrastructure is configured by hand and hard to reproduce
- Your developers need a reliable way to deploy into Azure
- Logging, monitoring and operational handover were never finished
Problems we solve
What’s getting in the way
Changes nobody can reproduce
Settings live in the portal instead of in code, so environments drift further apart with every change.
No operational readiness
The workload runs, but logging, alerts and runbooks were left for later.
What we do
What’s included
We review the environment, agree the design and scope with you, then build the foundation as infrastructure as code. Final scope depends on your environment and the agreed statement of work.
Networking and private connectivity
VNets, subnets and routing, network security groups and firewall integration, private endpoints and private DNS.
Infrastructure as code
Terraform in your repository, so the foundation can be reviewed, reproduced and changed safely.
Deployment foundations
CI/CD pipelines that deploy the infrastructure, and the paths your team needs to deploy workloads, the same way every time.
Identity, policy and security baseline
Identity and access foundations, Azure Policy and a security baseline agreed with your team.
Logging and monitoring
The logs, metrics and alerts needed to operate the platform, documented in an operations runbook.
What you get
What we hand over
Approved design and implementation artifacts
Deployed infrastructure and configuration, in code
Validated connectivity, security controls and deployments, where in scope
Operations runbook
Handover session with your team
Known open items, written down
Out of scope
What this doesn’t cover
- Unlimited enterprise landing zones or a company-wide Azure redesign
- Migrating every workload (a bounded migration can be scoped separately)
- Application modernization or changes to your application code
- Data platform programmes such as Databricks or Microsoft Fabric
- Ongoing 24/7 platform management after handover
Done when
The agreed infrastructure deploys from code, the agreed connectivity, access and deployment tests pass, monitoring shows the events you need, and your team accepts the handover.
What we need from you
An Azure subscription and approved access, an engineering owner on your side, the workload or project the foundation is for, and the date you are working toward.
FAQ
Common questions
Is this a landing zone for the whole company?
Not by default. We scope the foundation your workload or project needs, built so it can sit inside a larger Azure platform later. Broader platform work can be scoped separately.
Does it have to be Terraform?
Terraform is our usual choice. If your team already standardizes on another infrastructure-as-code tool, raise it during scoping and we will agree the approach before any work starts.
Will you run the platform after handover?
No. We hand over the code, the runbook and the open items so your team can operate it. Further engineering work can be scoped separately.
How it works
A typical engagement
01
Scope
We review the environment and agree the scope, priorities, acceptance tests and change approach with you.
02
Implement
We make the approved changes under your change control, with rollback or recovery plans where appropriate.
03
Validate
We test against the agreed acceptance criteria. A failed test is recorded, not hidden.
04
Hand over
You get the documentation, evidence and runbooks, plus a written list of anything still open.
