Cloud Landing Zone
A strong foundation before you start a cloud journey.
Cloud Landing Zone is about designing and implementing cloud foundation by following the design principles laid down by respective cloud platforms and their future road map.
The primary goal of a Cloud Landing Zone is to provide a well-structured and secure foundation for deploying workloads and applications in the cloud, particularly in platforms like Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS).
When organizations deploy or migrate workloads to the public cloud platform, they face a few key questions:
- Are we following best practices?
- Is our cloud environment secure, scalable, and highly available?
- Is our workload protected with backup and disaster recovery solutions?
- How are we going to provide Identity and connectivity to our workload?
- Are we meeting the regulatory and compliance requirements of the organization?
- Are we cost optimized?
Landing Zone is the answer to all these questions.
Business Cases
Foundation for future
Cloud Landing Zone serves as the starting point for an organization's cloud adoption journey. It provides a standardized and consistent approach with a set of guidelines and best practices that ensures the scalability, security, compliance and availability of workloads coming to cloud.
Security and Compliance
Security and compliance are critical aspects of any cloud deployment. A well-designed Cloud Landing Zone includes security controls and compliance policies to ensure that workloads adhere to organizational and industry-specific standards. This can involve setting up identity and access management, encryption, network security, and compliance monitoring.
Governance
As part of Cloud Landing Zone, governance policies are established to maintain control over the cloud environment. This includes policies related to resource creation, deletion, and modification, as well as compliance enforcement.
Operations and Management
Cloud Landing zone design includes guidelines for cloud resource monitoring, logging, and alerting. This helps organizations proactively manage and optimize their cloud environments for performance, cost, and availability.

Driving Factors
Faster
Time-to-Value
Provides a foundation that reduces the time and effort required to set up and configure cloud resources, enabling quicker realization of value from cloud investments.
Resource
Optimization
Organizations can optimize their cloud resources by implementing landing zones that enforce proper resource allocation, usage monitoring, and cost management.
Identity and
Access Management
Cloud Landing zone defines the IAM framework that is crucial for controlling who can access cloud resources. The Landing Zone defines roles, permissions, and policies for managing access to cloud resources, often using services like Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
Cost
Management
Managing cloud costs is essential, and the Landing Zone provides strategies for cost allocation, budgeting, and tracking. It may involve setting up cost management tools and implementing cost-saving measures.
Resilience and
Disaster Recovery
Cloud Landing Zone design includes strategies for backup, disaster recovery, and high availability. This helps organisation with improved data protection and business continuity.
Scalability
A properly designed Cloud Landing Zone is scalable and can accommodate the growth of cloud resources as an organization’s needs evolve. It ensures that the architecture can support additional workloads, users, and data without major design changes.
Comprehensive Monitoring
and Reporting
Cloud Landing zone Includes design of monitoring and reporting tools that give businesses insights into the health, performance, and usage of their cloud resources.
What We Offer
Creating services/ resources on any public cloud platform is very easy, however creating them in secure, scalable, and compliant manner, with best practices requires a lot of planning. Mismo helps you design and build a secure, scalable, and compliant cloud foundation with cloud Landing Zone that enables application migration, modernization, and innovation at enterprise-scale in cloud. We can help you in review, design and implementation of cloud landing zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cloud landing zone conceptual architecture represents scale and maturity decisions. It’s based on lessons learned and feedback from customers who have adopted Azure as part of their digital estate. This conceptual architecture can help your organization set a direction for designing and implementing a landing zone.
From an Azure landing zone point of view, landing zones are individual Azure subscriptions.
In short, No. Use Azure Policy to control, govern, and keep your workloads and landing zones compliant. It isn’t designed to deploy entire workloads and other tooling. Use the Azure portal or infrastructure-as-code offerings (ARM Templates, Bicep, Terraform) to deploy and manage your workload and get the autonomy you need.
AWS Control Tower is a service that simplifies the process of setting up a secure and compliant multi-account environment on AWS. It automates the deployment of a baseline environment that adheres to best practices and security controls, including AWS Organizations for account management and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for role-based access control.
