Overview

Azure Landing Zone is the result of a multi-subscription environment focused on Scale, Security, Governance, Networking, and Identity & Access Management. Our Azure architects will conduct a series of workshops covering the 8 design areas of Azure Landing Zone and will design, followed by the implementation of a secure, scalable, compliant, and cost-effective Azure foundation.

What Mismo Systems offers

Azure Landing Zone Design workshops (1 week)

We conduct a series of workshops around the following 8 design areas of Azure Landing Zones:

Azure Billing and Microsoft Entra tenant: focuses on your Azure billing offer and the association of that offer with a Microsoft Entra tenant.
Identity and Access Management: Focuses on the identity and access management solution that best suits your Azure environment.
Resource Organization: Focuses on establishing a consistent pattern for organizing the resources you deploy on the cloud for - naming, tagging, membership design, and management group design.
Network Topology and Connectivity: Focuses on how secure and effective connectivity is to other Azure services, external users, and on-premises infrastructure.
Security and Compliance: Equipped with encryption, network firewalls, and layered access controls, Azure Landing Zones represent a comprehensive approach to security, ensuring your data is secure.
Management: focuses on understanding requirements and implementing those requirements consistently across all workloads in a cloud environment.
Governance: Focuses on establishing tools and measures for effective governance, including cost management, management baseline, Azure policy, Azure advisor.
Platform Automation and DevOps: Focuses on automation and using infrastructure as code for resource provisioning, management, and operations, etc.

During these workshops we educate the customer about each design area, understand the business and technical requirements, and assist the customer in reaching design decisions and considerations.
