Azure Stack Hub consulting
Azure Stack Hub stamps are still running important workloads. We help operate them and plan what comes next, whether that is Azure Local, Azure or both.
Scope of the work
- Operate existing stamps: updates, capacity and health
- Review identity, networking and marketplace content
- Inventory tenant workloads and their dependencies
- Plan the target: Azure Local, Azure or a split
- Migrate workloads in waves
- A health and capacity report for the stamp
- A written options paper for its future
- A migration plan when you decide to move
Billed at $150.00 per hour. Ask Keith for an estimate.
What we check first.
Different product, different model
Azure Stack Hub offers Azure-consistent tenant services. Azure Local is a virtualization and Kubernetes platform managed from Azure. Workloads do not map one to one.
Tenant services
Anything built on Hub platform services needs a new home. We inventory those first.
Vendor lifecycle
Hardware and software support dates set the timeline. We collect them at the start.
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.
Is Azure Local the successor to Azure Stack Hub?
They are different products for different needs. Many Hub workloads can move to Azure Local or Azure, but it is a migration, not an upgrade.
Can you help while we stay on Hub?
Yes. Operations and update support is available by the hour.
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.
