The Azure deployment kit must be useful to one regulated customer without becoming a one-customer artifact.
The pilot needs enough customer-specific detail to run while preserving a portable pattern for partners and future deployments.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My architects keep asking what this looks like in Azure after the demo ends.”

Leads the customer’s Azure container platform standards for regulated application teams.
What is at stake
Three European prospects paused because image-level guidance did not show an Azure operating pattern. You must weigh customer-specific proof against a kit that partners can reuse without rewriting it.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- customer specificity vs partner reuse
- Azure familiarity vs independent image evidence
- fast pilot learning vs durable pattern boundaries
- regulated assurance vs simple operating flow
Why Chainguard
Chainguard Images need a customer-operated Microsoft Azure path when regulated platform groups require portable evidence around signed and attested dependencies.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
