What to look for in a Azure freelancer
A strong Azure expert should know the platform broadly and automate by default. Look for:
- Relevant certifications or equivalent proof, backed by real project history.
- Infrastructure as code habits: Bicep, ARM, or Terraform over manual clicking.
- A security-first mindset: least privilege, key management, and network isolation.
- Cost awareness, so architecture choices account for the monthly bill.
- Hands-on operations: monitoring, alerts, and calm incident response.
Ask how the candidate would cut a bloated Azure bill without hurting reliability.
