FAQ
Can I change VM size or storage later?
Yes. We right-size resources continuously and can scale CPU/RAM/storage up or down with minimal disruption.
Is data stored in Canada?
We deploy to Canadian Azure regions (Canada Central/East) by default unless you request otherwise.
Do you support hybrid environments?
Absolutely—Azure Arc, site-to-site VPN, and identity integration (Entra ID/AD) are standard offerings.
