Change records in Azure DevOps
Every Azure change ships with a pull request, before and after Azure Monitor metrics, an updated runbook, and a Bicep or Terraform commit.
Our Azure clients right-size spend and keep deploys steady metrics
Two recent Azure cloud engagements. Full figures under MNDA; the workload detail comes out on a scoping call.
Cloud and Data engagement,
Azure platform owner
Dcrayon reworked our Azure setup around one cost-per-workload figure, not raw resource counts. Reserved instances and a clean landing zone gave us a number the board reads easily.
MNDA
Monthly Azure spend tracked in Cost Management
90 days
Azure Advisor score movement
Azure engagement: Well-Architected review, a Bicep landing zone, and Azure Cost Management tagging so every subscription maps to an owner. Mutual exit clause at the first quarterly review.

Mid-market cloud and data brand,
Azure and AKS platform owner
Our Azure estate had drifted for over a year, subscriptions sprawling with untagged resources. Dcrayon set governance policies and consolidated regions, and the bill made sense again.
MNDA
Workload cost impact shared on scoping call
90 days
Reserved instance coverage change
Azure engagement paired with AKS workload tuning and log ingestion cleanup in Azure Monitor. A no-charge Azure Advisor and cost baseline opened the work.

How Dcrayon lands your Azure estate inside one planning quarter
A short walkthrough of a Dcrayon Azure engagement, from the Well-Architected review in week one to a tagged, monitored estate by week twelve.
Technical Azure controls we build into every estate
Default capabilities on every Dcrayon Azure engagement
Each control below maps to a pillar of the Azure Well-Architected Framework, built and checked by the architect on your account.
Copilot-assisted operations
Dcrayon AI and Azure Monitor anomaly detection watch cost, resource drift, and Log Analytics alerts across your subscriptions from day one.
FinOps on Azure Cost Management
Resource tagging and Microsoft Cost Management reviews surface waste early.
We report cost per workload and reservation coverage, not just monthly spend.
Defender for Cloud baseline
Every change passes Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Azure Policy, with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR-aware controls set as the subscription default.
Three methods we run on every Azure Cloud Services engagement
A Well-Architected review, a written migration and modernization plan, and Dcrayon AI audit checks, run on every Azure engagement.
Dcrayon Score (Azure estate axis)
An Azure Well-Architected Review across your subscriptions. We read Advisor scores, Cost Management spend, Defender for Cloud alerts, Bicep or Terraform coverage, and how much compute sits idle. Free on every proposal call.
Dcrayon Growth Formula (Azure migration sequencing)
The written plan that orders your Azure work, migrate, then tune cost, then harden, back to one operational metric you pick. Built to show movement within a quarter.
Dcrayon AI (Azure audit toolkit)
Internal toolkit that audits your Azure estate against the Well-Architected pillars and produces a prioritized remediation list your finance team can budget.
How Dcrayon runs your Azure estate
Three repeatable plays that make each Azure cycle steadier and cheaper than the last.
Step 1: Score
Free Dcrayon Score readout in one business day. We map your Azure estate against the five Well-Architected pillars and hand back one 0-100 number plus the gap list. No follow-on commitment.
Step 2: Plan
A written 90-day plan tied to one operational metric you pick, like monthly Azure spend or recovery time. A senior architect writes the Bicep and Azure Policy; either side can close the SoW; no annual lock-in.
Step 3: Compound
A weekly working session with your architect plus a monthly readout your finance team can follow. The work stacks: landing zone and Defender hardening first, then managed identities and RBAC, then autoscale rules and budget alerts.
