Azure Quick Check

Assess FinOps, permissions, and policy compliance in your Azure environment. Identify savings, establish governance.

Your Azure Bill Is Rising — and Nobody Knows Why



Azure environments in mid-market companies grow fast: new VMs, storage accounts, app services. But who checks if resources are right-sized? Who controls which roles are assigned? Who ensures policies are enforced?



In most environments: nobody systematically. The result: 20-40% of Azure spend is wasted — through oversized VMs, forgotten resources, missing reservations, and no tagging. Add security gaps: too many owner roles, no least-privilege strategy, missing policy compliance.



All tools for a structured assessment are included in Azure at no cost: Cost Management, Advisor, RBAC, Policy. All that is missing is systematic evaluation and a concrete action plan.

ACTIVITIES IN DETAIL

DELIVERABLES

  • FinOps analysis: Azure Advisor cost recommendations, savings plans, reservations, orphaned resources

  • Tagging assessment: consistency, missing tags, cost attribution capability

  • Budget alerts and cost allocation review

  • RBAC audit: privileged roles, least privilege, group-based assignment, stale assignments

  • Policy compliance: non-compliant resources, enforcement mode, tagging policies, allowed locations

  • Azure Advisor Score as baseline (reliability, security, performance, cost, operational excellence)

  • Prioritized action plan: quick wins (0-30 days) and strategic recommendations (30-90 days)

3 steps. From start to finished project

How a typical Microsoft project runs with DAMALO

STEP 1

Choose a blueprint and analyze your environment

Select a proven blueprint. AI agents pull your licenses, current config, and compliance needs into the plan. No generic advice.

STEP 2

Receive your plan and start implementation

Review the plan. AI agents draft architecture, sequence tasks, and map dependencies to Microsoft best practices. Tailored to your tenant.

STEP 3

Guided implementation through to completion

Execute step by step. AI agents provide PowerShell scripts, admin center deep-links, and walkthroughs. Every change auto-documented.

The result: A completed Microsoft project in 1-2 weeks. Documented. Audit-ready. Understood by your team. Adjustable at any time. No change requests. No follow-up engagements.

Azure Landing Zone Setup

Azure

Security

Problem: Without a structured landing zone, Azure environments grow wild: uncontrolled subscriptions, missing governance, no network isolation. Every subsequent Azure project suffers from the missing foundation.

Scope: Management group hierarchy and dedicated subscriptions - Hub-and-spoke networking with firewall and VPN - Azure Policy initiatives for governance and compliance - IaC deployment with Bicep/Terraform

Result: Structured Azure environment following Cloud Adoption Framework — secure, scalable, and ready for workload migrations.

Azure Monitoring

Azure

Problem: Without structured monitoring, Azure environments fly blind: outages are noticed only when users complain, costs rise uncontrolled, compliance evidence is missing.

Scope: Set up Log Analytics Workspace - Configure alerts with dynamic thresholds and action groups - Dashboards and workbooks for infrastructure overview - Azure Policy for consistent monitoring

Result: Proactive Azure monitoring with automatic alerts, dashboards, and cost-optimized log strategy.

Azure Backup

Azure

Problem: Mid-market backup is patchy: some VMs backed up, others not. No tested restore process. On-premises backup software costs EUR 5,000-20,000 annually in license fees.

Scope: Configure Recovery Services Vault and backup policies - Activate VM, SQL, and Azure Files backup - Azure Policy for automatic backup enforcement - End-to-end restore test and runbook

Result: Reliable Azure backup with tested restore processes, automatic enforcement, and audit-ready documentation.
