Azure foundations for growing organisations

A practical view of landing zones, identity, backup and monitoring — the parts of Azure that matter before you add more services.

Cloud programmes stall when organisations buy services before they have a foundation. Identity, networking, backup and monitoring are not optional extras; they are the conditions that make later workloads safe to run.

DigiApps approaches Azure as an operating environment. That means sizing virtual machines against real demand, placing networks with intent, and enabling backup and observability before production traffic arrives.

Cost optimisation follows the same logic. Unused SKUs and idle disks are usually a design problem, not a billing surprise. Review early, then review again after the first month of production metrics.
