Public Q&A

If we already have a cloud setup, can Annex improve it without moving everything to a different platform?

Cloud, Hosting & DevOps · 2026-10-17

That may be possible. Annex’s published work includes delivery within existing environments, including a digitisation pipeline built in Azure and integrated with Drupal, and a GovCMS website set up on the GovCMS SaaS platform. The right approach depends on what is working, what is causing problems, and the systems and dependencies already in place. Annex describes choosing technology to suit the project rather than requiring one platform, so an assessment would be needed before deciding whether to improve the current setup or change it.
