Operations

Azure operations at enterprise scale means managing 30,000+ resources across dozens of subscriptions while keeping everything tagged, patched, monitored, and compliant. Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework provides aspirational architecture diagrams. Real operations teams need runbooks that work at 3 AM, inventory scripts that handle subscription access changes, and dashboard templates that show application health instead of raw metrics. Effective Azure operations requires building operational tooling that survives organizational change. Your inventory process can't depend on one person's PowerShell knowledge. Your patching strategy can't assume Azure Update Manager handles every edge case. Your monitoring dashboards can't require KQL expertise to interpret. Operations at scale means standardizing processes, automating evidence collection, and building systems that work when half the team is new and the other half is fighting fires from last quarter's migration.
