CLOUDMECHANIX
About

A specialist Azure consultancy.

Cloud Mechanix delivers Microsoft Azure networking, security, landing zones and governance. We design it, build it as code, and hand it over — for organisations that need genuine depth rather than a generalist team.

The work is deliberately senior and deliberately finite. You get people who have done this before, and a design your own team can run. You rely on us less over time, not more.

How we work

We build ourselves out of a job.

We don't want you dependent on us. We involve your team in the build, pass on the knowledge as we go, and hand over the design documentation and the code. The goal is that you need us less next year.

  1. We design with your team, not at them.

  2. We build it; you participate throughout.

  3. You run it. Your reliance on us shrinks by design.

Who you'll be working with

Two directors. No bench.

Aidan Finn, founder of Cloud Mechanix

Aidan Finn

Founder · Principal Consultant

Aidan founded Cloud Mechanix. He has spent 30 years in enterprise IT and the last 19 as a Microsoft MVP for Azure. He has written 5 technical books, delivers Azure training, and speaks at conferences across Europe and the US.

His work centres on Azure — Zero Trust security, networking and Azure Firewall, landing zones, governance, migration, and the operations and disaster recovery that keep it running. The approach behind it is simple: understand a problem deeply enough to keep the solution simple. Simple, well-understood designs, built to best practice, are the ones that stay reliable, secure and scalable — and the ones your team can take ownership of.

So everything is built as code, with guardrails from day one and an operating model your own people can run. On an engagement you get an architect who has done this before — and a proper handover, not a six-month project and a team you have to train.
