IT Directors and cloud teams running production workloads in Azure without a dedicated operations team.

Delivery model
Monthly managed service with an agreed scope, response targets, change control and monthly reporting.
What is Azure managed support?
Azure managed support is an ongoing service in which a provider operates your Azure subscriptions and workloads: monitoring health, resolving incidents, making controlled changes, maintaining security and backups, and optimizing cost. It complements Microsoft platform support, which covers the Azure platform itself rather than your configuration and workloads.
What our Azure managed support includes
- Incident and request handling – ticket-based support for VMs, networking, storage, PaaS services and identity.
- Change management – planned, documented changes with rollback steps.
- Patching – operating system updates with Azure Update Manager, see patch management.
- Monitoring and alerting – configured through Azure monitoring.
- Backup verification – job checks and restore tests via Azure backup management.
- Security posture – Defender for Cloud recommendations, see CSPM.
- Cost reviews – regular recommendations from Azure FinOps.
- Governance – policy, tagging and access hygiene, see Azure governance.
How it works
- Onboarding review – document the environment and fix urgent risks.
- Runbooks – agree escalation paths and standard procedures.
- Operate – incidents, requests and changes under SLA.
- Report – monthly health, security and cost reporting.
- Improve – quarterly recommendations aligned to the Azure Well-Architected Framework.

Is 24/7 coverage available?
Coverage hours and response targets are agreed in the service scope. For 24/7 security threat monitoring, see our managed detection and response service.
