Azure Architecture
Landing Zones
- Landing Zones are pre-configured environments that cover all the core aspects of modern cloud native IT where you can host your workloads. They are a kind of a template that provides a baseline environment to facilitate the transition from on-prem to cloud while following best practices. Instead of a straight lift and shift Landing Zones are a way of rethinking IT resources and architecture in a cloud native way.
- Landing Zones are implemented with IaC technologies like Blueprint or Terraform.
A landing zone is an environment for hosting your workloads, pre-provisioned through code.
From a workload perspective, a landing zone refers to a prepared platform into which the application gets deployed. A landing zone implementation can have compute, data sources, access controls, and networking components already provisioned.
