Led by our resident Microsoft savant Steve Styerwalt, Foghorn is pleased to announce that we have achieved Azure Gold Partner status. The road to gold was paved with many successful migrations and implementations on the ever exciting and growing Microsoft Cloud Platform.

Azure Gold Partner in Cloud Competency

To achieve Gold Status in the Cloud Competency category, Foghorn DevOps engineers had to validate the depth and breadth of their Microsoft Azure expertise. Areas of testing included server admin, application and cloud lifecycle optimization.

“With AWS Premier Partner status, growing Google Cloud platform capabilities, and now Azure Gold, Foghorn clients can expect well rounded and objective counsel as we steer them towards an agile and aligned future,” shares Alex Roosakos, CEO of Foghorn Consulting.

As Azure Gold Partners, Foghorn has access to a host of incentives and valuable credits that we can pass to customers to further lower costs. Gold partners also have signature support resources to  further enhance to adoption and deployment of applications on Azure.

With the growing demand for IaC (infrastructure as code), PaaS (platform as a service) and SaaS (software as a service) we have found that the quest for the perfect cloud provider is often multi-cloud conversation. Azure is always part of that conversation and many organizations are going “all in” with Azure with great results.

Operating in 54 regions Azure has the most infrastructure regions to minimize latency. 95% of the Fortune 500 utilize Azure. They spend over one billion usd per year on security, utilizing an economies of scale that can further drive down costs.
