Your Azure Tenant. Structured. Secure. Audit-Ready – and Ready for Your Team.
ASTRA isn’t just another consulting package – it’s a managed service that structures, secures, and empowers your Azure environment and your team. Whether greenfield or grown structures: we analyze, build, and automate – with dedicated architects, infrastructure as code, and a focus on governance, cost control, and compliance. No overhead, no tool sprawl – just a resilient Azure tenant that fits your reality.
What exactly is ASTRA?
ASTRA is a managed service for Azure tenants in mid-sized businesses. We bring structure, security, and FinOps – without slowing your team down. Instead of standard templates, we deliver tailored architecture, clear governance, and real relief.
- Audit readiness in 3–6 weeks – no restart, building on your existing environment.
- 30–50% lower cloud costs – through FinOps structures, automatic optimization, and clear accountability.
- Full documentation of your Azure environment – for transparency, knowledge retention, and safe handovers.
- Governance that works – policies, access models, and naming conventions that work in day-to-day operations.
- Team enablement instead of dependency – your team is involved, trained, and empowered to steer independently.
- Structured preparation for ISO 27001, TISAX & GDPR – with automated evidence and clear processes.

Azure Managed Service: Billing Based on Real Demand
You start with a fixed managed service. Consumption & traffic only influence the intensity of support — not the base fee.
The chart shows: Azure consumption (orange), number of resources (red), and our managed service packages (indigo). Support scales with the business impact of your workloads, not with every test instance.
Visualization of the Billing Model and Azure Consumption
Showcase: Relationship Between Azure Costs and Managed Service
Timespan: July 2021 – July 2025
Key Milestones
Managed-service-first: Billing starts with a clear service scope – not with usage meters.
Predictable costs: Real-time forecasts, cap options, and alerts protect your budget.
Full traceability: Based on Azure Billing API / CSP export – every scaling decision is documented.
Measurement basis: Azure Billing API (monthly usage charges). Consumption determines support intensity and ASTRA package.
