A Microsoft partner using Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

With over two decades of proven expertise in delivering turnkey solutions based on Microsoft technologies, Netways uses a blend of advisory, project, and managed services to accelerate digital transformation. Headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Netways serves more than 2,500 customers through 12 global locations, with a solid presence in the MENA region and in North America.

As a member of the Microsoft Business Applications Inner Circle, an exclusive community comprising top-tier Microsoft partners, Netways delivers consultancy and high-quality business technology solutions in the financial, government, healthcare, education, retail, telecommunication, and engineering sectors. The company offers these services and solutions utilizing a variety of Microsoft technologies, such as Azure DevOps, Azure Resource Manager, Dynamics 365, and Power Platform.

Netways IaC Mastery, available in Azure Marketplace, is a service the company provides to create and control cloud resources in Microsoft Azure with code. IaC employs DevOps practices and versioning to define and deploy infrastructure, ensuring the same environment is consistently generated every time it's deployed.

Microsoft provides native support for IaC via the Azure Resource Manager model to manage cloud infrastructure projects and assets. Azure Resource Manager uses declarative templates instead of scripts to manage cloud infrastructure projects and assets. It centralizes an organization’s billing by grouping resources and using tags for logical organization. Users can create and re-create the solution during the development process and ensure consistent states. It also works well with all Azure services and provides a management framework to lock, tag, and secure Azure resources after deployment.

It is one of the most dependable IaC tools because of its continuous monitoring, support, and smart management administrative framework.

Helping customers cut costs and avoid pitfalls
