Who Is This Service For?

Azure Cost Optimization Consulting context: Azure Cost Optimization Consulting is designed especially for organizations that want a controlled migration to the cloud, and for teams targeting cost optimization and secure governance. The first goal is to raise technical maturity without disrupting current operations. That is why a pre-setup state analysis, team roles and critical business dependencies are evaluated together.

Azure Cost Optimization Consulting context: The topics most frequently encountered in projects: uncontrolled resource sprawl, cost surprises, identity/permission complexity, and lack of monitoring. In the AnatoliaCore approach, these issues are closed not with one-off actions but through a measurable roadmap. Impact analysis is performed at every step, changes are applied with a rollback plan, and results are reported.

Scope and Deliverables

  • Landing zone and subscription structure
  • Entra ID and access policies
  • Cost management and tagging standard
  • Backup/monitoring policy set
  • Migration wave plan and operations guide

Technical Approach and Technologies

Azure Cost Optimization Consulting context: When designing the technical architecture, performance, security, sustainability and cost balance are addressed together. The technology set is chosen to preserve the organization’s existing investment; a phased modernization plan is introduced when needed.

90-Day Control Framework

  • Clear ownership and closure date for high-business-impact risks.
  • Post-change performance and security validation report.
  • Separate action summaries for management and technical teams.
  • Prioritized improvement list for the next sprint.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the Azure migration be done all at once?

No. A wave-based migration by risk, dependency and business impact is safer.

How is cost control ensured?

It is controlled with tagging, budget alerts, capacity right-sizing and regular optimization reports.

Is identity security in scope?

Yes. MFA, Conditional Access and a role-based permission model are addressed together.

Can our existing backup policy be migrated?

After a policy analysis, a cloud-compatible backup and recovery-test plan is prepared.

Is training support provided?

Operational knowledge transfer is done so internal teams can manage sustainably.
