Start With the Business Goal
Define the goal, owner, constraints, success criteria, and approval group before the team chooses architecture.
About RedDogSME
Senior Azure Architecture for Production Work.
Assess Azure and AI work, clarify ownership, shape implementation scope, and define the governance needed to run the work after launch.
Architecture Practice
Architecture Guidance Across Assessment, Blueprint, Build, and Governance.
The work reviews the current context, tests the options, and turns input from tools, vendors, and internal teams into guidance your team can use.
AI readiness and use case value
Azure landing zone, subscriptions, networking, and policy
Cost model, ownership, security posture, and governance
Data boundaries, identity, model access, retrieval, and approvals
Implementation scope, delivery backlog, monitoring, and handoff
Azure Architecture as a Service
Azure Architecture Assessment
Current state, risks, owners, recommendations, and 90 day action plan
Blueprint, Build, Architecture Office, Governance, or internal execution
Working Method
How the Work Stays Practical.
The work starts by naming the goal, owner, constraints, success criteria, and approvals. That keeps recommendations tied to what the team can fund, build, and operate.
Review the Azure Reality
Look at the current Azure setup, cost model, identity, security posture, data boundaries, and operating ownership.
Use Microsoft Guidance Where Useful
Use CAF, WAF, Azure Landing Zone, and Azure Policy as reference points, then apply them to the team's constraints.
Turn Decisions Into Scope
Capture the tradeoffs that affect cost, security, delivery, operations, and governance so the next step can be approved.
Delivery Standard
Clear Scope, Written Tradeoffs, Practical Handoff.
The engagement starts with the business goal and the approval question.
Constraints, owners, success criteria, risks, and recommended actions are documented.
Assessment, blueprinting, build work, Architecture Office, and governance stay scoped separately.
Recommendations stay tied to Azure cost, security, operations, and ownership.
Your team keeps the records, roadmap notes, and QA gates after the engagement.
