Azure Migration Specialist - Full details in attachment.

## Azure specialist to deliver a UK-sovereign production migration (Container Apps · PostgreSQL Flexible Server · Azure OpenAI) The project We run a multi-tenant ready single-tenant B2B SaaS platform (project delivery / PMO software) used in production by enterprise customers. The stack is a TypeScript modular monolith — Fastify API, React SPA, PostgreSQL 17 — currently hosted on Supabase Cloud, Fly.io, and Vercel. An enterprise customer requires **UK sovereign data hosting**, and we are migrating the platform onto Azure in the UK, with sovereignty technically enforced (region-locked policy, private networking, customer-managed keys) rather than promised on paper. **The design work is done.** You will not be starting from a blank page: there is a complete, independently reviewed document set — a High-Level Design, a code-verified Low-Level Design, and a step-by-step migration plan with exit gates, a cutover runbook, and a rollback model. Your job is to **execute and manage the Azure side of that plan**, challenge it where your experience says it's wrong, and get production cut over safely. ### The target architecture (summary) - **Compute**: Azure Container Apps, internal-only environment in a VNet, four containerised services plus a one-off migration Job; Application Gateway WAF_v2 as the single public entry. - **Data**: Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server (PG17), PITR, customer-managed keys, geo-redundant backup to a second UK region; Blob Storage with user-delegation SAS. - **Identity & secrets**: managed identities end-to-end (goal: no static credentials anywhere in production), Key Vault, GitHub Actions OIDC federation for CI/CD. - **AI**: Azure OpenAI, UK South, regional Standard deployments only (data residency enforced by policy). - **Email**: Azure Communication Services (SMTP relay). - **Observability**: Azure Monitor / Log Analytics with an alerting path into our existing external paging service; always-on audit baseline (Activity Log, Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud). - **Auth**: the platform's existing open-source auth server (Supabase GoTrue) is re-hosted as a container — sessions and passwords survive the migration by design. You don't need prior GoTrue experience, but you do need to be comfortable running a third-party container against Postgres. Full details in attachment
