Do you only work with Microsoft Azure?

Azure is our focus and we are a Microsoft partner. For sovereignty-critical or cost-sensitive workloads, we also use European providers, Kubernetes platforms, and private cloud setups.

How quickly can cloud costs be reduced?

After a consumption analysis, initial measures such as rightsizing, shutdown times, and storage tiering usually take effect within a few weeks. Structural levers such as autoscaling and architecture changes follow in order of priority.

Do you support with audits and certifications?

Yes. We deliver the technical implementation and the evidence for ISO 27001, TISAX, GDPR, NIS2, and DORA. MAKONIS itself is certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 and TISAX-tested.

Where are you active?

Our team is located in Munich, Parkstadt Schwabing, and works hybridly for customers throughout the DACH region and internationally.

You're in the right place with these goals

We identify potential risks and provide recommendations on how to make your cloud usage more efficient and secure.

Reduce cloud costs

Transparency over usage and sizing creates the basis to scale resources on demand and save costs permanently.

Secure sovereignty

With EU providers, hybrid architectures and a robust exit strategy, you stay independent and capable of acting.

Demonstrate compliance

Governance, monitoring and access management make regulatory requirements verifiable instead of laborious.

Our services in detail

Each service with approach, deliverables and answers to the most common questions.

Cloud Strategy

A cloud strategy is more than choosing a hyperscaler. We work with you to develop a target vision that brings together business goals, regulatory requirements, cost constraints and your teams' capabilities — plus a roadmap that can be implemented step by step.

Azure Consulting

As a Microsoft partner, we plan, build and optimize Azure environments — from the landing zone through service sizing to automated operations following the Well-Architected Framework.

Cloud Governance

Governance turns cloud usage into demonstrable cloud usage: clear policies, clean permissions, seamless logging and cost transparency — auditable rather than laborious.

Private & Hybrid Cloud

Not every workload belongs in a public cloud. We plan and operate private and hybrid architectures with European providers and Kubernetes — with full control over location, data and operations.

Cost Optimization

Most cloud bills contain double-digit savings potential — due to incorrect sizing, unused resources and missing automation. We make consumption transparent and reduce costs without sacrificing performance.

Cloud Exit

Regulation requires it, negotiating power rewards it: a solid exit strategy. We document exit scenarios, decouple dependencies and make the switch technically feasible.

Cloud Consulting from Munich — for Azure and sovereign EU-Cloud

We accompany medium-sized companies and corporations from cloud strategy through migration to optimized operation — technically sound, manufacturer-neutral assessed and with a view to regulation.

What good cloud consulting achieves

Cloud consulting means more than migration. It's about placing workloads correctly, controlling costs permanently, making security and compliance demonstrable, and enabling your teams to develop the platform themselves. We work along these four dimensions — with Microsoft Azure as the focus and European providers for sovereignty-critical workloads.

Who we work for

Our customers come predominantly from industry, automotive, finance, healthcare, and software medium-sized businesses — often in environments with ISO 27001, TISAX, NIS2 or DORA. They don't need slide consulting, but engineers who design architectures and then help build them.

How projects typically start

It starts with a compact assessment: existing landscape, costs, security level, and target image. This becomes a prioritized roadmap with clear work packages. Initial results — such as cost transparency or a clean landing zone — are usually visible within a few weeks.
