Course Overview
As organisations expand their cloud adoption, establishing a well-structured Azure landing zone becomes essential for managing resources, governance, and security across multiple teams and subscriptions. A landing zone provides the foundational environment that supports scalable, secure, and compliant cloud deployments.
This mentor-led programme introduces the essential components required to design and implement Azure landing zones. Learners explore subscription structures, identity management, role-based access control (RBAC), and governance frameworks that enable organisations to manage cloud resources effectively.
Through practical scenarios and guided discussions, participants learn how to implement guardrails using policies and governance tools to maintain security, compliance, and operational control. By the end of the programme, learners will understand how to design foundational Azure environments that support enterprise cloud adoption.
