XELMES Starting on Azure
You are opening your first subscriptions and want a clean base: management groups, policies, network and access defined from day one.
Azure cloud, foundations that last
Design, deploy and document a governed Azure environment: landing zones, networking, identities, migrations and high availability, with infrastructure described as code.
When to call us, the most common situations
Getting back in order
The environment grew without a plan: scattered subscriptions, overly broad rights, resources nobody owns.
Migrating workloads
Applications or on-premises servers to move to Azure, without needless downtime and with a rollback plan.
Getting production-ready
A project is going live and has to hold: high availability, backups, disaster recovery and monitoring.
What you get, in concrete terms
- Documented landing zone: management groups, subscriptions, naming conventions
- Hub and spoke networking, Private Endpoints, DNS and documented flows
- Entra ID and RBAC access model following least privilege
- Azure Policy for governance and tagging rules
- Infrastructure as Code (Bicep or Terraform) versioned in your repository
- Architecture document and runbooks handed to your teams
Tools for this expertise

How it works, step by step
Scoping
Current state, goals, security and budget constraints, written success criteria.
Design
Target architecture and deployment plan, validated with you before anything changes.
Deployment
Iterative rollout as Infrastructure as Code, on a test environment first, then in production.
Handover
Documentation, review with your teams and knowledge transfer.
Frequently asked questions, straight answers
Do you work with Bicep or Terraform?
Both. It depends on your context: Bicep for an all-Azure environment, Terraform if you run several clouds or already have modules.
Does everything need to be rebuilt?
No. A landing zone can be introduced gradually next to what exists, and workloads migrated at your pace.
Do you work on environments already in production?
Yes, with planned changes that are tested outside production and reversible.
Who is in control after the engagement?
You are. The code, documentation and access belong to you, and your teams are trained to maintain them.
A project, an overloaded team, an audit? Let's talk.
