Application service design
Choose managed compute, messaging and storage against runtime and operational requirements rather than adopting every available service.
Azure Development
Azure Development
Build or extend an application using Azure services when identity, integration and the Microsoft operating environment shape the architecture.
Inside the delivery
Connect an Azure application to identity and operations
Choose hosting and data services around workload behavior and existing Microsoft dependencies. The flow below shows the main delivery stages and the evidence produced at each step.
- 01
Application shape
Choose hosting and data services around workload behavior and existing Microsoft dependencies.
Output
Azure application architecture
- 02
Identity and access
Map tenant identity, managed identities, service permissions and private connectivity requirements.
Output
Identity and connectivity design
- 03
Build and integrate
Implement application components and enterprise integrations with configuration per environment.
Output
Application source and release package
- 04
Operate and recover
Verify telemetry, failed dependency behavior and recovery steps with the owning team.
Output
Monitoring configuration and recovery notes
Controls across the workflow
- Managed identities
- Secret handling
- Release approvals
- Dependency monitoring
Decisions that shape the scope
- Is this the same as an Azure migration?
- This service builds or extends applications on Azure. Moving an estate, coordinating cutovers and reconciling migrated data needs a migration plan and may be a separate engagement.
- What needs to be available before delivery?
- Azure tenant and subscription structure, application requirements, enterprise interfaces, security policies and operational owners.
Before you commit
Is this the right engagement?
- What we need from you
- Subscription access, identity requirements, application contracts, traffic expectations and existing network policies.
- How you accept the work
- Demonstrate authenticated application flows, failure handling, deployment repeatability and monitoring in the agreed Azure environment.
- Scope & alternatives
- This service builds or extends applications on Azure. Moving an estate, coordinating cutovers and reconciling migrated data needs a migration plan and may be a separate engagement.

Terraform and infrastructure tooling
Frequently asked questions
Questions to resolve before starting
01Is this the same as an Azure migration?
Is this the same as an Azure migration?
This service builds or extends applications on Azure. Moving an estate, coordinating cutovers and reconciling migrated data needs a migration plan and may be a separate engagement.
02What should we prepare for the first technical discussion?
What should we prepare for the first technical discussion?
Azure tenant and subscription structure, application requirements, enterprise interfaces, security policies and operational owners.
03What evidence is available at handover?
What evidence is available at handover?
The agreed delivery includes monitoring configuration and recovery notes. Verify telemetry, failed dependency behavior and recovery steps with the owning team.
04How is the engagement estimated?
How is the engagement estimated?
We review the available inputs before estimating: Azure tenant and subscription structure, application requirements, enterprise interfaces, security policies and operational owners. The proposal identifies dependencies, review milestones and excluded work; the scope determines the schedule.
