Azure Foundation
A governed Azure platform that scales without a costly re-architecture later.
All services
When this fits
Signs you need this.
- Everything lives in one subscription and nobody wants to touch it.
- There's no naming or tagging standard, so nobody can tell what a resource is for.
- RBAC is a handful of Owner assignments and shared accounts.
- You're about to onboard more teams and the current setup won't hold.
- An auditor or customer asked how your tenant is structured and you didn't have an answer.
First
What we assess.
- Current subscription and resource-group topology against the Cloud Adoption Framework.
- Identity and RBAC model — who has what, and where standing access should be removed.
- Network layout, address-space planning, and exposure of public endpoints.
- Existing naming, tagging, and policy coverage (or the lack of it).
- Cost ownership — whether spend can be attributed to a business unit today.
Then
What we implement.
- A CAF-aligned landing zone with a management-group hierarchy.
- Subscription topology and a least-privilege RBAC model.
- Hub-and-spoke networking with private endpoints for platform services.
- A naming, tagging, and Azure Policy baseline enforced at deploy time.
- A cost ownership matrix mapping spend to each business unit.
Deliverables
What you get.
- CAF-aligned landing zone deployment
- Subscription topology + RBAC design
- Hub-and-spoke network with private endpoints
- Naming, tagging, and Azure Policy baseline
- Cost ownership matrix per business unit

Questions
Frequently asked.
- What is a landing zone, in plain terms?
- It's the pre-built, governed foundation your workloads land on — the subscription structure, identity model, networking, and policy guardrails set up once so every future project inherits them instead of reinventing them.
- Do we have to move our existing workloads to get value?
- No. The foundation is built alongside what you already run. We can migrate existing resources into the governed structure incrementally, or leave them in place and apply governance where it matters most first.
- What is CAF and why does it matter?
- The Cloud Adoption Framework is Microsoft's published guidance for structuring an Azure environment. Aligning to it means your setup follows patterns auditors and future engineers recognize, rather than a one-off design only its author understands.
