1. Foundation of Your Cloud
A Landing Zone is the starting architecture for your Azure environment.
➡️ It defines how everything will be deployed, secured, and managed.
2. Not Just a Subscription
It’s more than creating a subscription.
➡️ It includes identity, networking, governance, and security baseline.
3. Identity and Access Design
Controls who can do what across the environment.
➡️ Use Entra ID, RBAC, and managed identities.
4. Network Architecture
Defines how resources communicate securely.
➡️ Hub-spoke model, private endpoints, DNS, and segmentation.
5. Governance and Policies
Ensures consistency and compliance.
➡️ Naming standards, tagging, policies, and role separation.
6. Security Baseline
Built-in controls from day one.
➡️ Logging, monitoring, threat protection, and secure configurations.
7. Management and Monitoring
Central visibility and control.
➡️ Log Analytics, alerts, and operational dashboards.
8. Designed for Scale
Landing Zone is built for future growth.
➡️ Supports multiple subscriptions, environments, and regions.
9. Workload Ready
Applications are deployed on top of the Landing Zone.
➡️ It prepares the environment before any workload goes live.
10. Based on Best Practices
Usually aligned with Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF).
➡️ Standardized, repeatable, and enterprise-ready.
