Case study / Cloud migration
A production data centre migration to Azure and IONOS, with attention to continuity, sizing, and ongoing cost.
Move production workloads from a VMware-based data centre into a hybrid-cloud environment while maintaining reliable operations and controlling cost.
I co-led a production migration from VMware vCenter to Azure and IONOS and continued migration work with the operations team.
Combine migration work with infrastructure automation and ongoing resource optimisation. Treat VM sizing and cloud cost as operational responsibilities.
Cloud provisioning through infrastructure as code, VM rightsizing and usage optimisation in IONOS, and Azure Advisor as an input to Azure cost reviews.
Approximately 20% lower IONOS costs through rightsizing and usage optimisation, alongside the production migration.
A migration continues after workloads move. The operating model, resource sizing, and cost visibility need ongoing attention.
An observability platform I designed, built, and operate: metrics, central logging, custom collectors, and operational workflows managed as code.
Infrastructure as code and connected workflows for provisioning, configuration, and recurring operational tasks.

Hybrid cloud, observability, automation, or an interesting engineering challenge.
