# ACloud.Solutions

> Azure consulting and read-only Azure cost and security tooling, run by Alex Pierce.
> Sells the AzClean range of PowerShell tools and a field guide to ISO 27001:2022
> certification for small teams. UK-based.

The consulting and the tools come from the same work: engagements on real Azure
estates, with the tooling built along the way. Every AzClean tool reads and never
writes, ships as a single download with its licence terms inside, and carries
updates for the lifetime of the product.

Cost figures are calculated from the Azure Retail Prices API per region, and
managed disks are priced by provisioned tier rather than a flat per-GB rate,
because that is how Azure actually bills them. A flat rate understates a
128 GB Premium SSD by roughly a factor of four.
