Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure provides you with guidance and best practices to adopt Azure.
A landing zone is a segment of a cloud environment, that has been pre-provisioned through code, and is dedicated to the support of one or more workloads. Landing zones provide access to foundational tools and controls to establish a compliant place to innovate and build new workloads in the cloud, or to migrate existing workloads to the cloud. Landing zones use defined sets of cloud services and best practices to set you up for success.
Components parts of the Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure Terraform landing zones:
Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure Terraform landing zones is an Open Source project with the following objectives:
- Enable the community with a set of sample reusable landing zones.
- Standardize deployments using battlefield-proven components.
- Accelerate the setup of complex environments on Azure.
- Propose an enterprise-grade approach to adopting Terraform on Microsoft Azure using Cloud Adoption Framework.
- Propose a prescriptive guidance on how to enable DevOps for infrastructure as code on Microsoft Azure.
- Foster a community of Azure Terraformers using a common set of practices and sharing best practices.
When starting an enterprise deployment, we recommend you start creating a configuration repository where you craft the configuration files for your environments.
You can find the starter repository here and our sample configuration onboarding video here
More details on how to develop, deploy and operate with landing zones can be found in the reference section here
Currently we provide you with the following core sample landing zones:
| Name | Level | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| caf_launchpad | 0 | provides the state management capabilities and security features leveraging Azure storage for the backend, provides secret management and modular approach to support plugin for Azure DevOps automated pipeline creation (and others) |
| caf_solution | 1-4 | "universal" landing zone that allow you to compose with any object from the CAF module and beyond. |
| Repo | Description |
|---|---|
| starter kit | landing zones configuration repository |
| caf-terraform-landingzones (You are here!) | landing zones repo with sample and core documentations |
| rover | devops toolset for operating landing zones |
| azure_caf_provider | custom provider for naming conventions |
| module | CAF universal module available in the Terraform registry |
