Azure landing zone and AKS as code

We build your foundation in Azure as code: policies every subscription inherits. On top of it AKS, operated by your own team.

AKS with GitOps

FinOps from day one

Without policies, disorder grows

Without a foundation every team builds differently. After a year nobody has the full picture.

BEFORE

Subscriptions without a pattern

An invoice without a sender

Storage open, nobody notices

AFTER

Subscriptions from the vending machine

Every expense has a team

Guardrails stop the mistake

Everything sits in the repository. A plan shows every change before it runs. A daily reconciliation reports every manual step in the portal.

FinOps

Every expense has an owner

Every resource carries its team as a tag. Every team sees its invoice. A budget warns at 80 percent.

No tag, no resource

Cost Management per team, every month

The warning goes to the team

1 team

Foundation and first cluster

Everything in the repository.

10 teams

New subscriptions by pull request

The vending machine creates them, with network, permissions and budget.

50 teams

Several regions and a platform team

The pattern stays the same as on day one.

Assessment

We look at identity, network, policies and costs. From you: read access to the tenant and one person each from cloud and security.

Target picture

Hierarchy, hub network and rules as a plan. From you: the decision for Bicep or Terraform.

Build for your team

Foundation and first AKS cluster with tooling as code.

Handover

Operations manual, cost report, two days of briefing. After that your team operates.
