Dune Framework
Infrastructure management for teams that operate hundreds of resources like a fleet — provisioning, operations and reporting from a single console.
Lost track of your Azure resources? Cloud costs getting out of hand?
Without a clear overview, you cannot manage cloud resources efficiently, delete unused resources or allocate the costs of a subscription to your applications. The result is inefficient operations.
But there is a solution: with Dune, you can finally structure your Azure resources in a meaningful way and give operations, application owners, the CISO and other stakeholders the overview they need.
No overview of your Azure resources
Your Azure resources are spread across many subscriptions, making it hard to assign resources to their applications or to spot superfluous ones. Nobody knows who owns them.
Costs getting out of hand
Without a mapping to applications, you cannot identify expensive applications or find the resources of applications that are no longer in use. There is no warning when an application costs more than budgeted.
Inefficient operations
The service desk cannot route incoming requests and incidents correctly. Administrators spend a lot of time identifying an application's resources. The CISO cannot immediately find the person responsible for a VM. Many hours are lost every month.
But these problems are easy to solve!
Sustainable strategies for a better overview and greater efficiency in the cloud
Simple, time-saving methods can already deliver huge improvements.
Better overview
Azure offers resource groups for technical resources. Dune combines these into applications. For every resource, you can find the associated application and its owners, and vice versa.
One platform for everyone
Dune links the technical view with the application view, so that all stakeholders (C-level, service desk, operations, application owners) can get the information they need themselves, whenever they need it. No more requests for lists and reports that are out of date by tomorrow.
Optimise costs
Save costs by regularly reviewing existing resources and applications using expiry dates. Stop VMs outside operating hours or at weekends.
Increase operational efficiency
Give your operations team the best tool, so they can spend many hours on more meaningful tasks. With Dune, your operations team scales and can run more systems and more complex environments without having to hire more staff.
Why Dune?
Full transparency
Gain visibility by organizing resources in application and group applications by environment like Dev, Test & Prod. This clear assignment makes it easy for operations, application owners, the CISO and others to quickly identify the right information or resources.
Reduce costs
Dune shows costs per application or application group, ideal to start FinOps with your most expensive resources. Setting expiry dates ensures that resources actually get deleted and do not run forever. Automatic shutdown of resources outside business hours and over weekends can save more than 50%.
Operate more efficiently
The clear structure and powerful search ensure that every team can find its resources and applications quickly at any time. The built-in public API and our PowerShell module enable operations teams to run a query across all production systems or roll out a fix to every server of an application within minutes.
What our customers say
With Dune we have finally achieved a full-cost view of our cloud costs. One click and we see the complete cloud costs of an application clearly and in detail. On top of that, we can monitor them.
With Dune Framework, we can provide customers going through Azure migrations with complete applications as templates — including VMs, configurations, certificates and AD accounts. This has made deployments reproducible, more efficient and significantly easier for the Ops team to run.
Dune lets us migrate existing applications to the cloud without first having to build up cloud know-how the hard way. In doing so, we brought our deployments into a homogeneous and recoverable structure using Dune IAC.
With Dune I always have an overview of the patch status of my systems. I can be sure they meet current security requirements.

Infrastructure management with a focus on applications
Infrastructure — VMs, service accounts, groups, applications and configuration — is defined once as a reusable template and then automatically deployed and grouped by application. This gives you a much better overview and makes operations far more efficient.
Provisioning
Templates describe the resources and configuration of an application.
Scheduling
Start and stop resources on a schedule, apply patches and run other actions automatically.
Actions
Automate repeating operation tasks with templates — restart a service, update an application, restore a database backup.
Operations
Identify applications, resources and their owners — essential as soon as a vulnerability is discovered. Start or stop all resources of an application in the right order.
Cost control
Track costs and budgets per application. Schedule stop actions outside business hours to reduce spending automatically.
Reporting
Missing patches, detected vulnerabilities, last backup times, expired deployments — all in one place.
Ownership
Every application and every deployment has at least one owner, who is notified about expiry, patches and other important events.
Audit
Every action in Dune is logged and can be viewed in the audit log.
Decommissioning
Expiry monitoring and clean decommissioning. Expired resources are stopped.
Built for efficient operations, with plenty of automation drawn from our day-to-day work
Comprehensive dashboards and reports provide an instant overview of your entire infrastructure
Schedule start and stop times for applications so that they only run during business hours
