Reliability
How the workload handles failure, recovery, dependencies, backup, availability, and operational continuity.
Product · Azure Assessment
Part of Azure & Applications
Find out how well-built your Azure really is.
A focused review of one production Azure workload against Microsoft’s Well-Architected Framework. We assess the architecture, score the five pillars, identify the highest-value remediation work, and hand you a prioritized backlog your team can execute.
- One production workload
- $7,000 flat
- Prioritized remediation backlog
- Azure consumption separate
Five pillars, one prioritized backlog
What we assess.
Security
Identity, network, data, secrets, platform configuration, monitoring, and security architecture appropriate to the workload.
Cost Optimization
Resource sizing, idle capacity, architecture choices, reservations or commitments where relevant, and cost visibility.
Operational Excellence
Deployment process, infrastructure and configuration management, observability, incident process, documentation, and change discipline.
Performance Efficiency
Whether the architecture uses the right services and scaling patterns for the workload it actually serves.
What you receive
A written answer, not an impression.
- Current-state architecture review
- Pillar-level findings
- Material risks and dependencies
- Prioritized remediation backlog
- Executive summary
- Technical readout
- Recommended next sequence
- A clear separation between “fix now,” “plan,” and “accept”
What happens after
The backlog is yours.
Your team can execute it, another partner can execute it, or Centered Networks can scope remediation or ongoing Azure and application operations.
The Review is not a disguised requirement to buy the remediation.
$7,000 flat for the full five-pillar Review of one production workload. A focused single-pillar review can be scoped separately.
Azure consumption and any Microsoft licensing are separate from the Centered Networks fee.
Proof
A production Azure platform you can look at.
The National Mall Gateway is our flagship Azure platform example, built for the Trust for the National Mall and published as a Microsoft customer story.
Questions
Common questions.
Does the fee include fixing the issues you find?
No. The Review produces the assessment and the prioritized backlog. Your team can execute it, another partner can execute it, or Centered Networks can scope remediation separately.
Can you review a single pillar instead of all five?
Yes, a focused single-pillar review can be scoped. Most organizations get more value from the full five-pillar picture, because the pillars trade off against one another: a cost decision is often a reliability decision.
What access do you need?
Read-level access to the workload’s Azure subscription and resources, plus time with the people who build and operate it. The exact access is confirmed before kickoff.
What counts as one workload?
A production application or platform with a coherent architecture, its own operational boundary, and an identifiable owner. We confirm the boundary during scoping so the assessment stays focused enough to be useful.

Tell us which workload you want reviewed and what is worrying you about it. We confirm the boundary and the access required before scheduling.

Thanks, we’ve got it.
A senior member of our team will reach out within one business day to confirm the workload boundary and schedule the Review.
