Cloud Adoption Engagement

Cloud Adoption Engagement

If you’ve completed a readiness assessment (whether with Axeleos or externally) and you’re ready to begin migrating, then our Cloud Adoption Engagement is right for you. In this engagement with our Azure expert consultants, we’ll implement your customized Azure Landing Zone, which is an environment for hosting your workloads pre-provisioned through code. We’ll also work with you to determine the initial workload you wish to migrate to Azure, giving you an end-to-end perspective regarding the process involved in doing an actual migration.

The adoption engagement will provide the following best practices for your landing zone build-out:

Identity & Access Management (IAM). The cornerstone of any IT ecosystem is provisioning appropriate access & authorization practices. We’ll go over IAM best practices and help you set up access policies that allow your users to be productive while aligning with proper access control processes.

Security & Compliance. Throughout the build-out of your landing zone and migrating your initial workload, security & compliance will be at the forefront of the engagement. We’ll make sure your Azure environment adheres to industry best practices as well as comply with your internal security posture.

Optimization & Governance. During your landing zone build-out, we’ll go in-depth on how to manage costs, set budgets, and configure alerts to help you stay ahead of any potential cost overruns. We’ll also get you set up with proper monitoring & alerting of your resources to make sure you get the type of visibility you need in your Azure ecosystem.

Network Communication & Configuration. You can’t do much in Azure (or any IT environment) without networking. We’ll set up an optimized network configuration that will allow you to connect your Azure resources to your on-prem environment efficiently and securely.

Once your Azure Landing Zone has been configured, before we migrate your initial workload, we’ll do an operations process posture evaluation. We’ll discuss your current processes surrounding monitoring and advanced management, with a focus on what KPIs you currently review for your existing environment. We’ll work together to build a set of recommendations for modifying processes as needed to ensure you’re getting the insight required to continue running your technology stack.
