    Common questions about this service

    What is the difference between Azure migration and architecture consulting?

    Migration is the project to move workloads from on-prem or another cloud to Azure. Architecture consulting is the planning phase — we design the landing zones, subscription structure, and security model first. Both are critical; we often start with architecture to avoid expensive migration mistakes.

    How long does an Azure migration typically take?

    It depends on workload complexity and size. Simple migrations (single app, small database) take 4-8 weeks. Complex multi-server or database migrations take 2-6 months. We create a detailed timeline during the planning phase based on your specific environment.

    Can you help us lower our Azure bill?

    Yes. Most growing businesses overprovision resources early on. I review your current setup, identify unused or oversized resources, and recommend Reserved Instances, Spot VMs, and better auto-scaling — often reducing costs by 20-40% without performance loss.

    Do you handle the migration work or just the planning?

    Both. I can consult on strategy and planning, or roll up my sleeves and lead the implementation. Most clients prefer the full-service approach — I architect it, execute it, and hand you a well-documented, production-ready environment.
