# Azure landing zone design and build

URL: https://computecloud.co.uk/azure/landing-zone/
Last updated: 2026-11-13

> Azure landing zone design and build for UK organisations, to Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework: identity, networking, policy and logging, from a free assessment.

We design and build Azure landing zones: the foundation of subscriptions, identity, networking and policy that your workloads run on, set up to Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework before anything moves. It starts with a free assessment, and we can also review an Azure environment that grew without a plan.

- Management groups, subscriptions and access
- Hub networking with VPN or ExpressRoute
- Azure Policy, logging and backup defaults

## Frequently asked questions

### Do we need a landing zone before we migrate?

For anything beyond a few test workloads, yes. In Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework, you build the landing zone in the Ready phase, before workloads move in the Adopt phase.

### Can't we just use Microsoft's accelerator?

Microsoft publishes landing zone accelerators: a portal deployment, and Bicep and Terraform versions built on Azure Verified Modules. They still need decisions about your identity, network and policies, which is what the design covers.

### Can you fix an Azure environment that's already in use?

We review it first, then propose the changes in stages, in writing. [Azure health check](https://computecloud.co.uk/azure/well-architected-review/)

### Which Azure regions do you use?

UK South (London) by default, with UK West (Cardiff) where you need a second UK region.

### What does a landing zone cost?

The assessment is free. The design and build come with a written proposal and price first.
