Azure Local health check
A second pair of eyes on a cluster that is already running. We check updates, storage, network, the Azure connection, the security baseline and backup, and write down what we find.
Scope of the work
- Check release level, pending updates and vendor firmware packages
- Review storage health, capacity, resiliency and repair jobs
- Review network intents, adapter settings and switch configuration
- Check Azure Arc connection, extensions and resource bridge health
- Check security baseline drift, backup coverage and a recent restore
- A report with findings ranked by risk
- A list of fixes with an hour estimate for each
- A walkthrough call with your team
Billed at $150.00 per hour. Ask Keith for an estimate.
What we check first.
Capacity headroom
A pool that is too full cannot repair itself after a drive failure. We check free space against what a rebuild needs.
Restores, not backups
A backup job that reports success is not proof. We ask for a restore test.
Drift
Settings changed by hand since deployment are a common cause of failed updates. We list them.
Four steps, written down.
A call with Keith
You describe the goal, the estate and the deadline. Keith turns it into a written scope with an hour estimate at the hourly rate.
A written design by Gus
Gus reviews the environment and gives you a written design with each decision and its reason.
Hands-on implementation
Gus implements in your tenant and your racks, remotely or on site, with every change logged as it is made.
Documents and a named contact
You receive the as-built record and the runbooks. Keith stays on as your account and project manager.
Asked before every engagement.
Do you need admin access?
Read access is enough for most of the check. For a few items we ask one of your administrators to run a command and share the output.
Will you fix what you find?
If you want. The report includes an hour estimate per fix, and you choose which ones we do.
What does the consulting cost?
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith sends a written hour estimate after the scoping call, and work starts when you approve it.
Often scoped together.
One rate. Two people.
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith runs sales, project management and your account. Gus does the architecture, the design and the implementation.
