White Paper:

Azure Landing Zones

Part 1

Author: Eric MacDonald, VP of Cloud Transformation

Cloud adoption succeeds or fails on its foundations. Azure Landing Zones: Part 1 is your blueprint for establishing a secure, scalable, and cost-efficient environment in Microsoft Azure—aligned with the latest Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) guidance.

Just as a well-drawn map guides military operations, a codified Azure hierarchy allows your business to expand, divest, and innovate without rework. With the right foundation, scaling across regions, managing M&A transitions, or extending into multi-cloud becomes seamless.

This is Part 1 of the series. Part 2 will cover identity, access, and security in depth.
