A solution was developed to bring critical applications into alignment with best practices and implement high availability solutions for specific applications. This involved migrating the SAP application to a new environment and enabling a high availability cluster for SQL Servers on Azure. The high availability cluster ensured that the critical applications were always available and running smoothly, even in the event of unexpected downtime or failures. The migration process was carefully planned and executed to minimize disruption to the critical applications. The new environment was thoroughly tested to ensure that it met the requirements of the SAP application and provided the necessary performance and reliability.
By leveraging the advanced capabilities of Azure DevOps Services, the deployment of applications has been fully automated, enabling a robust and efficient deployment pipeline for each application hosted on Azure. This process has been further refined through the implementation of deployment automation across both non-production and production environments, ensuring a seamless and streamlined deployment process.
Evaluated the utilization of licenses and facilitated a reduction in the total cost of ownership for SQL Reporting services on Azure.
Assisted in the restructuring of Azure Services and proposed cost-saving measures by eliminating unused resources. Further cost optimization was achieved through the acquisition of appropriate RI instances for their environment.
