Compute that was sized once and never revisited.

VMs and serverless compute architected and right-sized for the workload you actually run — not the one you guessed at during setup.

What Compute covers

Compute is about right-sizing what actually runs your workloads — VMs, serverless functions, and app hosting — so you're not overpaying for capacity nobody uses, or under-provisioned for load that's already arrived. This page covers VM and serverless compute specifically; container orchestration now has its own dedicated domain.

On Microsoft Azure

How we deliver this on Microsoft Azure

The detail below is Azure-specific. As other platforms come online, this same page will show the equivalent approach for whichever platform you select.

VMs, scale sets, AKS, and Container Apps architected and right-sized for the workload you actually run — not the one you guessed at during setup.

Signals

This is likely relevant if…

!VM sizes were picked at launch and never re-evaluated against actual usage

!You're running Kubernetes (AKS) without a clear node-scaling or upgrade strategy

!Virtual Machine Scale Sets exist but autoscaling rules don't reflect real traffic

!Container workloads are still running on VMs out of habit, not necessity

!Patch and image update cycles for compute are manual and inconsistent

!You're not sure whether AKS, Container Apps, or plain VMs is the right fit anymore

How we work

New solution, or fix what you have

Tell us which situation you're in — the consultation is scoped differently depending on the answer.

Path A — Solution design

Nothing's in place yet

You're deploying new workloads and need to decide between VMs, VMSS, AKS, or Container Apps — and size it correctly.

Compute platform selection matched to the actual workload
Right-sizing based on expected load, not defaults
Autoscaling and update strategy designed upfront

Path B — Fix / enhance

Something exists but isn't working

Compute is already running, but sizing, scaling, or platform choice isn't working well.

Utilization audit across VMs, VMSS, and AKS clusters
Right-sizing recommendations based on real usage data
AKS node pool and upgrade strategy review

Scope

What's included in the Compute & Containers consultation

Compute inventory and utilization review
VM and VMSS right-sizing recommendations
AKS cluster and node pool configuration review
Container Apps suitability assessment where relevant
Autoscaling rule design or audit
Patch and update strategy review
Written report ranking changes by impact
30-minute walkthrough call to review findings
