Microsoft Azure Cloud Engineering All Blue IT Consulting

I design, automate & operate your Azure environment.

Specialised 100% in Microsoft Azure.

I help you get the most out of Microsoft Azure: from a clean landing zone and secure virtual network design to automated deployments, monitoring and day-to-day operations. You get a stable platform so your teams can focus on delivering value instead of fighting infrastructure.

What I typically do as your Azure Engineer

  • Design and implement Azure landing zones, governance and subscription structure following Microsoft best practices.
  • Automate deployment of Azure resources (VMs, VNets, storage, App Services, AKS, etc.) using Bicep / ARM, and PowerShell.
  • Build secure virtual network infrastructures (VNets, subnets, NSGs, Azure Firewall, VPN/ExpressRoute, private endpoints, Azure DNS).
  • Operate and optimise existing environments: backup, patching, monitoring, cost management and incident handling.

Azure Architecture & Landing Zones

Design a clear Azure foundation: management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, naming conventions, policies and role concepts that keep your environment organised and compliant.

Infrastructure as Code & Automation

Automate deployments with Bicep/ARM, and Azure DevOps pipelines, so environments are repeatable, version-controlled and easy to roll out across test, staging and production.

Compute, Containers & Serverless

Provision and operate Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), App Services and Functions with proper scaling, backup and access concepts.

Virtual Networking & Hybrid Connectivity

Build secure network topologies with hub-and-spoke VNets, NSGs, Azure Firewall, VPN/ExpressRoute and private endpoints to connect on-premises and Azure workloads.

Identity, Security & Compliance

Implement Entra ID, RBAC, Conditional Access, Azure Policy and Microsoft Defender for Cloud to protect resources and enforce security baselines.

Monitoring, Operations & Cost Control

Set up Log Analytics, Azure Monitor and alerting, introduce runbooks and automation, and continuously optimise your Azure spend through right-sizing and reservations.

Focus: Microsoft Azure – from initial setup to long-term operations, tailored to your organisation.
