The average Azure VM runs at 7% CPU utilization. You're paying for the other 93%.
Baseload Systems manages the full lifecycle of Azure Virtual Machines — rightsizing, migration, patch management, and backup — so your compute footprint actually matches what your workloads use, not what someone provisioned for a worst case that never came.
Nobody sizes a VM for the average day. Everybody sizes it for the worst one.
A VM gets provisioned during a rushed deployment for the traffic spike that might come, then the spike never arrives, or arrives for twenty minutes a week. Eighteen months later, that VM is still running at full size, on full-price billing, because resizing means a restart and nobody wants to be the one who schedules it.
Rightsizing, migration, patching, and backup.
Four services covering the full lifecycle of a VM, from the day it lands in Azure to the day it's retired.
Marisela Fontaine kept finding the same fleet, at every company.
Running cloud operations for a string of mid-sized companies, she found the same pattern everywhere she went: a handful of oversized VMs quietly eating the majority of the compute bill, discovered only when finance finally asked why costs kept climbing without any real growth to explain it. Baseload Systems exists to catch that before finance has to ask.
Six stages, from utilization baseline to ongoing review.
The same disciplined process whether it's twelve VMs or twelve hundred.
