Scalability

We’re currently exploring options to implement an iPXE-based WinPE deployment solution in Microsoft Azure. Our goal is to streamline OS provisioning for virtual machines using cloud-hosted boot scripts and WinPE images, ideally over HTTP/S for performance and flexibility. Key requirements: Must support iPXE booting in Azure (via ISO, custom VM image, or chainloading). Ability to host and serve WinPE images securely (e.g., via Azure Blob Storage or web server). Cyber Essentials Plus compliance is essential, as we operate in a regulated environment. Preferably a UK-based provider with experience in secure cloud deployments and endpoint provisioning. We’ve looked into solutions like 2Pint Software’s iPXE Anywhere, but we’re open to other vendors or managed service providers who can assist with setup, integration, and ongoing support. Has anyone implemented a similar solution or worked with a provider who meets this criteria? Any recommendations or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.
For those of you living in North America, have you outsourced anything (Web development, Mobile development, Staff augmentation, Direct hiring) to an Indian company?

Who are the best engineers to use to staff for a platform re-architecture program? Does the staffing strategy benefit from tweaks as you move from early to later stages of maturity?
The particular program is looking to reduce duplication that exists across business lines and likely will leverage a combination of adapter patterns, data-driven configuration and lot of generalization of duplicate capability.
We're open to FTE, contract, vendors, etc., and have good systems to use all already established.
