Cloud Server Design for Azure

I need a seasoned cloud architect to plan and build the server configuration on “Azure microsoft” for a new platform focused on finance and investments, with mobile apps as the first workload. The goal is to define a robust, scalable environment that lets my team push code quickly without worrying about infrastructure details.

You will start by reviewing the current requirements, propose a high-level architecture, then translate it into a working, reproducible setup. Auto-scaling, load balancing, role-based access, secure networking, and automated backups must all be factored in. Static IP address will be used.

Deliverables
• Architecture diagram and written rationale
• Step-by-step deployment documentation
• Infrastructure-as-Code templates (ARM or Terraform) so the stack can be recreated with one command
• Validation checklist showing the environment runs, scales, and rolls back cleanly under load

I will consider the work complete once I can spin up the environment from your templates, deploy a test mobile backend, and confirm logs, metrics, and alerts are feeding through the Azure portal without manual tweaks.
