Story
HNTB grew backup and failover faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, industrials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. SRE and operations were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Azure put reliability engineering on Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure is a public cloud platform for infrastructure, data, AI, and application services used by enterprises to host and modernize workloads. HNTB keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so SRE and operations do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier reliability engineering. Backup and failover is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join SRE and operations without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
