The quotation records the available options and the exact supplied configuration.
| Requirement | What to review |
|---|---|
| Account ownership | Your organisation owns its Azure tenant and subscriptions and approves billing access. |
| Assessment | Review subscriptions, identity, virtual machines and connected business systems. |
| Deployment | Agree the selected services and technical deliverables. |
| Consumption | Provider charges are separately budgeted and monitored. |
| Operations | Identify customer tasks and any scoped management work. |
| Migration | Confirm compatibility, transfer and acceptance criteria. |
Separate the core service from work and software that need an additional agreement.
The server configuration or professional service described in the quotation. Confirm access, operating system and the agreed deliverables.
Migration, backup administration, monitoring, management and additional software need a separately agreed scope and price.
Confirm taxes, setup charges, licensing, commitment, renewal and cancellation. Availability, workload location and support commitments belong in the quotation.
A Microsoft Azure engagement begins with the applications you want to run, not a collection of services purchased in advance. List runtimes, databases, integrations and business access requirements. Confirm who owns the Azure tenant and subscriptions, approves spending and grants administrator access. These responsibilities remain with your organisation unless a specific task is assigned in the scope. Review existing environments before creating new resources that duplicate a service or complicate a later handover.
Choose Microsoft Azure services around the workload and the team that will operate them. A virtual machine, a managed database and an application platform have different administration and consumption models. Review available options without assuming a provider feature is included in a CloudLelo consulting fee. Document the selected architecture, network boundaries, access roles and recovery approach. Any example configuration is a discussion starting point; actual resources and performance need validation against the application.
Provider consumption may include compute, storage, network traffic and separately selected services. Ask for a cost review that records assumptions and distinguishes provider charges from CloudLelo professional-service fees. Set spending ownership and agree who may create, resize or remove resources. A budget alert is useful information rather than a guaranteed spending cap. Ongoing management, monitoring and incident work require a separate agreed scope after the initial deployment or migration.
Consulting is a scoped engagement rather than an included platform entitlement. Your organisation controls the cloud account, approves spending and owns the application and its data. CloudLelo can review the requested setup, migration or operational work. The quotation identifies deliverables, access requirements, change approvals and exclusions. Provider consumption charges, third-party licences and ongoing management are separately reviewed.
A task is assigned to CloudLelo only when it appears in the agreed management scope.
| Task | Customer / self-managed | Scoped CloudLelo management |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Define and administer the environment | Perform agreed configuration tasks |
| OS / account updates | Plan, test and apply required changes | Apply agreed changes in approved windows |
| Monitoring | Select checks and respond to alerts | Operate the specified checks and escalation |
| Backup administration | Arrange jobs, retention and recovery testing | Administer the agreed backup jobs and restore tests |
| Applications and data | Own code, data and business validation | Application work only where explicitly included |
| Support scope | Provide authorised contacts and useful incident detail | Follow the agreed channels and service boundaries |
Deployment dates, service commitments and acceptance criteria are agreed for your project.
List applications, versions, dependencies, usage and authorised contacts. Identify protected data and the business owner who can validate deployment.
Confirm resources, software, access, transfer, fees and the administration scope. Record commitments and exclusions before approving the quotation.
Agree migration or deployment, backup checks and acceptance tests. Define the rollback decision and retain source access until handover criteria are met.
Document credentials, ownership and escalation contacts. Review resource use, maintenance and recovery arrangements as the workload changes.
Understand the configuration and responsibilities before requesting an order.
Provider usage and software licences are separately reviewed from CloudLelo professional-service fees. The quotation identifies any included items explicitly.
Identify the account owners and the roles needed for the agreed tasks. Authorise access through a secure channel and record the handover or removal process.
Your organisation should own the account, billing relationship and authorised access. Record handover and administrator permissions before work begins.
The quotation identifies resources or subscriptions, selected operating work, taxes, licences and commercial commitments. Consulting and provider consumption charges are reviewed separately.
Describe the application or provider, current setup, users, data size and intended change. Avoid passwords, private keys and confidential business records.
Confirm protected data, frequency, retention, storage location and restore responsibilities separately. Provider retention features do not automatically establish an independent backup arrangement.
The approved scope lists tasks, channels, escalation and maintenance responsibilities. Any support hours or response commitments must be agreed for the service.
Changes depend on availability, software and commercial commitments. Review potential interruption, data, licences and costs before approving a resource or subscription change.
From a new server to an existing application migration, start with your workload and leave with a clearly defined scope.
