Azure Platform Review: 10-Day Assessment

As cloud adoption increases with ever growing demand for new services and capability, IT departments are now looking to scale their Azure Platform. With an increase in scale, comes an increase in complexity, and a need for a coherent foundation that supports the demands of new business workloads.

The Azure Platform Review service is designed to review your Azure environment, and assess it against a set of best practice recommendations in line with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework. The objective of the engagement is to provide you with a prioritised list of recommendations to ensure your Azure environment is well architected, well managed, and well governed to support your cloud objectives.

As organisations continue to adopt Azure, best practice guidance for cloud adoption and migration continues to be developed. The Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure captures this best practice guidance, and provides a framework for cloud adoption, including changes required in people, process and technology.
