Without a structured post-migration operations model, cloud environments often become fragmented, expensive, and vulnerable. Optimisation must begin immediately after cutover.

Many organisations treat migration as the goal, then stall. Environments are left partially configured, monitoring is incomplete, workloads are oversized, and cloud spend escalates. Operational issues that were minor during the move become critical at scale.

See Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework – Govern & Manage Phases. It emphasises that true cloud success depends on post-migration governance and operations.

Cloud Platform Optimisation (CPO) ensures your post-migration environment is ready for real-world demands, not just migration day tests. What Azure CPO delivers:

• Validate Architecture: Confirm that resources are correctly provisioned, tagged, and secured.
• Enable Full Observability: Deploy Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and alerts across your stack.
• Cost and Usage Optimisation: Analyse resource utilisation and apply Azure Advisor recommendations.
• Security & Access Review: Audit RBAC permissions, enforce identity policies, and activate Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
• Operational Readiness: Put runbooks, incident workflows, and recovery playbooks in place.

Azure CPO helps you realise the value of cloud transformation by aligning people, tools, and processes immediately after the move.
