AI Base Camp · fixed price
An AI-ready Azure landing zone, in weeks
An Azure AI landing zone is the secure, governed foundation your AI workloads sit on — and North Peak Cloud delivers one at a fixed price in weeks, not quarters. We call it AI Base Camp: an Azure AI Foundry hub with private networking to model endpoints, identity and RBAC, Azure Policy guardrails, and a responsible-AI baseline, all delivered as infrastructure as code that you own.
- Azure AI Foundry hub & projects, ready to build on
- Private endpoints to Azure OpenAI and model APIs
- Microsoft Entra identity, RBAC and Azure Policy guardrails
- Responsible-AI baseline: content filters, logging, data residency
- Bicep or Terraform you keep — no lock-in
- Fixed price and timeline agreed up front
AI on Azure, done right.
AI-ready foundations
Azure AI Foundry hubs and projects, private networking to your models, identity and policy guardrails — the secure base every AI workload needs before it scales.
Cost control for AI & cloud
FinOps for the AI era: token and PTU strategy, model right-sizing, reservations and anomaly detection. We find the waste your invoice is hiding.
Platform engineering
Landing zones as code in Bicep or Terraform, GitOps, policy-as-code and golden paths. Enterprise-grade Azure delivered in weeks, not quarters.
Security & responsible AI
Content filtering, evaluations, data-residency and audit-ready guardrails aligned to the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 — trustworthy AI you can put in front of customers.
Migration & modernisation
Cloud Adoption Framework migrations and Well-Architected reviews that leave you cheaper, faster and ready for AI — not just lifted-and-shifted.
Senior engineers, direct
You work with the architect who does the build — no account managers, no offshore hand-off, no gatekeeping. Answers in plain English.
Three routes to AI on Azure.
| Route | Typical cost | Speed to production | Who does the work | Price certainty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Build in-house | Engineer salaries + the learning curve | 3–6 months to first production use case | Your team, learning as they go | Open-ended |
| Large MSP / SI programme | Typically six figures | Quarterly roadmaps, rotating teams | A delivery team and an account manager | Quoted after discovery calls |
| North Peak Cloud | Fixed-price packages | Weeks to production | The architect who scoped it | Fixed and agreed before work starts |
Three ways to start.

Asked and answered.
How much does an Azure AI landing zone cost?+
AI Base Camp is a fixed price agreed before any work starts — one number covering the AI Foundry hub and projects, private networking, identity and RBAC, Azure Policy guardrails and a responsible-AI baseline, handed over as infrastructure as code you own. No day rates and no open-ended scope.
What is an Azure AI landing zone?+
An Azure AI landing zone is a pre-built, governed Azure environment designed for AI workloads — with identity, networking, policy guardrails and responsible-AI controls in place before any model is deployed. It gives you a secure, repeatable foundation to scale AI on.
How long does an AI landing zone take to build?+
A matter of weeks with North Peak Cloud's AI Base Camp — a fixed scope agreed up front, built as infrastructure as code so it is repeatable and handed over to your team.
Is it aligned to the Cloud Adoption Framework?+
Yes. Our landing zones follow Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework and Well-Architected Framework, extended with AI-specific guardrails aligned to the EU AI Act and ISO 42001.
