What can Avanade help with?
Azure managed operations (published tiers)
Avanade describes 24x7x365 monitoring, production-readiness review, patching, a client-specific runbook, and ITIL-aligned incident, problem, and change processes in its baseline Azure managed-service tier. Its published page states those tiers do not support mission-critical workloads.
