Evaluate Infralign
Available today versus roadmap
Every capability, marked live now, expert-led today, or not built.
Status checked 3 November 2026. A roadmap item is not part of the Decision Pack or the Monthly Close unless a later written agreement says otherwise.
Capabilities sit in one of three states:
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Live now | The product does it, either on a schedule or when you ask it to, with nobody at Infralign in the loop. |
| Expert-led today | A senior Azure architect does it as part of the Decision Pack or the Monthly Close. A person delivers it. |
| On the roadmap | Not built. Read these rows as an intent rather than a commitment. |
Live now
Section titled “Live now”| Capability | What runs | Documented in |
|---|---|---|
| Self-serve Azure connection | Your admin connects Azure in a five-step wizard at app.infralign.ai: consent, roles, validate, scope, confirm. There is one Infralign application and no credential of yours to paste: a tenant admin approves consent, someone with Owner or User Access Administrator assigns Reader and Cost Management Reader, and the wizard validates them per subscription. The same surface later edits scope, re-checks the connection and ends it. | Connect Azure |
| Self-serve user management | Admins add and remove their own people and set each to Admin or Viewer, limited to email domains recorded for the account. Removal takes effect in about a second. No invitation email is sent. | Manage people |
| Scoped multi-subscription cost ingestion | Nightly run (02:30 → 06:15 UTC) over the Azure Cost Details API and FOCUS 1.2 export lanes, across every connected subscription. The two built-in roles cannot change workloads or resource configuration. | Data sources |
| Four persona dashboards per lane | Executive, FinOps/commitments, Engineering and Data Ops Superset dashboards, built per ingestion lane. | Dashboards |
| Safe-SQL billing chatbot | Natural-language questions answered from the billing warehouse through a constrained, read-only SQL path. | Chatbot |
| In-app cost audit reports | Generated cost audit documents available in the app. The expert review that turns one into a Decision Pack is expert-led. | Reports |
| Month-on-month trend reports | Generated MoM cost-movement reports with the driving meters broken out. | Reports |
| Advisor-based recommendations with approve/reject | Azure Advisor recommendations surfaced in-app with an approve/reject decision trail. Approval records a decision. It applies nothing. | Validated fixes |
| Estate map | A map of each connected estate: its subscriptions, resources and the dependencies between them, in the app. | This page |
| Showback | Cost shown by owner every month on the cost allocation dashboard. Proposed owners for untagged cost are a separate, expert-led step (pTags). | Dashboards |
The two Azure roles cannot change resources or configuration. The permissions reference lists every action they cover.
Expert-led today
Section titled “Expert-led today”| Capability | What a person does | Documented in |
|---|---|---|
| The Decision Pack | An architect reviews the ingested data and delivers 3 to 5 ranked decisions, 7 days after read-only access. Not automated, not a rules engine. | What the audit covers |
| The Monthly Close | Only if you continue after the Pack. An expert explains the bill by working day 5, checks budget pace weekly, and re-checks every saving on the bill, counted once. | Price and terms |
| Evidence review and prioritisation | A human sizes each finding (€ impact, evidence, owner, effort, risk, next action) and orders the plan. | Reading your audit report |
| Architecture-aware change planning and IaC preparation | Change plans and any infrastructure-as-code are written by the engagement team, by hand, where the engagement scope agrees it. | Validated fixes |
| Teams delivery of the monthly summary and cost alerts | You send Infralign an incoming webhook for a channel and a person wires it up. There is no self-service field for it, nothing is posted to you unless you ask, and no per-customer nightly card exists. | Security and data handling |
| Savings verification | Post-change baselines are compared and classified by a human against the savings methodology. | Savings methodology |
| Service deep dives | A report on one service area, such as networking. The analysis is automated; an engineer reviews the findings before they are shared. | Reports |
| pTags: proposed owners for untagged cost | An engineer proposes an owner for cost that carries no owner tag. Each proposal stays pending until the customer approves it. | This page |
| PEC-aware commitment advice | For Microsoft CSP partners: an engineer works out the customer saving and the partner-earned credit effect of a commitment from the partner's own PEC eligibility and price-list inputs. Infralign does not read Partner Center billing. | This page |
| Customer pack under a partner's brand | An engineer prepares a customer pack from the findings the partner approved, under the partner's brand with no Infralign marks. The app, the monthly brief and the consent screen still carry Infralign's name. | This page |
| VM retirement review | An engineer checks each customer's VM series against Microsoft's retirement announcements and lists what has to move. Not automated yet. | This page |
Microsoft Teams carries the monthly summary and cost alerts into a channel you nominate, in your own Microsoft 365 tenant. Ask Infralign to wire it up. See where Teams fits.
The Decision Pack gives you 3 to 5 ranked decisions, 7 days after read-only access. The Monthly Close follows only if you continue. Price and terms lists what each one includes.
On the roadmap
Section titled “On the roadmap”| Capability | Why it is not claimed | Documented in |
|---|---|---|
| Automated Bicep/Terraform pull request generation | The agent opening its own infrastructure-as-code pull requests is not built. Any PR today is written by the engagement team. | Validated fixes |
| Automated tfsec and checkov policy checks | No policy-scanning stage runs in the product today. | Safety model |
| Automated Well-Architected validation | Well-Architected review happens in the engagement, performed by an architect. No automated check validates a change. | Safety model |
| Automated anomaly alerting | Cost anomalies are found in the audit and in the trend reports, not raised automatically in real time. | This page |
| One console across all of a partner's customers | A multi-customer console is in build. Today each customer has its own dashboards. | This page |
| Partner-branded dashboards | The app and the monthly brief carry Infralign's brand today. | This page |
| Partner Center ingestion | Infralign does not read Partner Center billing or partner-earned credit data today. | This page |
| Partner access through Azure Lighthouse | Setup today uses the customer's own admin consent and role assignments. Access through a partner's Azure Lighthouse delegation is planned. | This page |
| Fabric audit and optimisation | No Microsoft Fabric analysis ships today. | This page |
Under the Monthly Close, your team keeps the production decision, implementation, merge, release, and rollback. See validated fixes.
