Azure Landing Zones

Part 2

Author: Eric MacDonald, VP of Cloud Transformation

Identity is the true foundation of cloud governance. Azure Landing Zones: Part 2 builds on the framework established in Part 1, diving deep into identity and access architecture—the control plane for every subscription, network, and policy in Azure. Learn how to design and automate secure identity boundaries with Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC, and Privileged Identity Management (PIM), while enforcing Zero Trust through Conditional Access, tiered permissions, and break-glass resilience. This guide transforms best practices into actionable automation, helping you treat identity as code and scale governance confidently across your enterprise.

Azure Landing Zones: Identity & Access (Part 2)

In Azure, control starts with identity. Part 2 of the Azure Landing Zones series defines how to design, automate, and secure identity across your cloud foundation. It expands on Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) with enterprise-ready guidance for tenant structure, RBAC design, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and Conditional Access. From hybrid directory integration to emergency accounts and “identity as code” automation, this paper turns Zero Trust principles into practical governance patterns—ensuring every role, login, and subscription remains auditable, least-privileged, and resilient by design.
