In general, the time required to prepare and set up a solution can vary based on the specific context. When approaching Azure as an individual user, signing up and creating a billing account can be a straightforward process. This enables you to deploy Azure services promptly for individual use. If you are dealing with the adoption of cloud services at an enterprise scale or within an organization, the setup process becomes more complex. Organizations often have their procedures in place. They might have dedicated teams, such as a cloud operations team or an infrastructure demand intake team, responsible for handling these setups. Consequently, the deployment timeline and process can be influenced by the organization's specific SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and the way their cloud engineering operations are structured. For instance, an individual user looking to use Azure for learning purposes can get started quickly, as it's a matter of setting up a billing account and accessing cloud services. But when an organization, such as Cisco, a healthcare provider, or Philips, wishes to use Azure at scale, they establish their setup processes. This includes how they manage demand intake, define SLAs, and handle resource provisioning. Therefore, the time it takes to deploy infrastructure or services within such organizations can vary significantly, often taking several weeks. It is important to note that this timeline is dictated by the organization's policies and procedures rather than a limitation of Azure as a product.

Deployment was done by a vendor team. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

The deployment time varies depending on the specific scenarios and features within Azure that we plan to use. Setting up services and connectivity features like extra routes, side-to-side VPNs, and VPN gateways can be time-consuming. Once these components are in place, the core infrastructure within Azure is well-designed, and enabling a particular feature typically takes no more than approximately two weeks.

We have a service provider that handles the deployment and maintenance of the solution for us. Our experience with the provider was good.

Maintenance is easy and fairly straightforward, mainly point-and-click.

I have a consultant who takes care of the deployment, configuration, and migration part of the solution. I haven't faced any issues with the solution's deployment, configuration, and migration phases since I got help from a third-party integrator, who was very helpful.

We are partnered with consultants for implementation to ensure proper governance and frameworks. 

We will have an agreement with a partner to provide support and maintain at least a part of the solution with our in-house team. 

We implemented the solution in-house. We slowly started utilizing services but total deployment did not take much time. 

Ongoing maintenance is not a challenge. 

We have a team that deploys the solution. Sometimes I'm enrolled with the team, sometimes, the team handles things alone. It's an operation team for the customer, and we usually provide them with managed services for their cloud, where we do all the technical operations on the cloud by ourselves. We implement it according to the client's authorization.

The implementation process was something that came along from the reseller from whom we bought the solution.

Three members consisting of an ML developer, a person from DevOps, and an architect, were required to do the deployment.

We have a dedicated Microsoft team always working within our organization.

We have both in-house and third-party teams, depending on the requirements and complexity of the deployment.

I install the solution myself. We both deploy it in-house and use a consultant. 

We went through both a private vendor and Microsoft. The private vendor handled one part of the deployment; a Microsoft team did another. They both taught us how to manage Azure Stack. We have a large team of technical engineers who received Azure Stack certification. They know Azure Stack very well. Overall, it was not hard for us to deploy. 

The deployment process took a few weeks. We needed two to three people to deploy the solution. It's an engineered system that comes with everything loaded. Microsoft’s team handles configurations. We only had to handle the equipment and manage it locally.

A consultant helped us with the implementation back in 2018.

The provider deploys the solution. 

While deployment is straightforward, it would require a good skill set with Microsoft technologies and a certain amount of networking knowledge to handle any trouble which may arise. 

We received some help with the implementation from Microsoft.

The implementation of Azure Stack was done in-house. We have five people for the maintenance of the solution.

I did the installation myself.

I deployed this solution on my own, using the Microsft website as a reference.

We have an in-house team for deployment. We have different internal teams and generally do not rely on third-party vendors.

My team and I did the deployment.

It was done by my company. 

I did not need help with deployment and we have an in-house team for maintenance.

I deployed the solution myself.
