Enterprise-Scale is a reference architecture and set of landing-zone blueprints for building large, governed Azure estates. It codifies recommended patterns—network topology, identity integration, subscription and resource organization, policy assignment, and guardrails—so enterprises can provision repeatable, secure, and compliant environments for workloads. The project supplies deployable artifacts (Bicep/ARM/Terraform modules, examples, and documentation) to accelerate consistent deployments across regions and teams while embedding best practices for security, cost management, and operations. It also addresses cross-cutting concerns like monitoring, logging, backup, and role-based access control so tenants don’t rediscover the same integration work each time they stand up a service. For cloud platform teams, Enterprise-Scale reduces design debates and provides a baseline that can be extended to meet vertical or regulatory needs.
Features
- Modular reference implementations for different scenarios (e.g. hub-and-spoke, Virtual WAN, small enterprises, government environments)
- IaC support via ARM templates, Bicep, Terraform modules to deploy landing zones, policies, guardrails etc.
- Enforced best practices around identity & access, management groups / subscription structure, governance & policy, security, networking, connectivity, logging etc.
- Designed to scale: organizations can start small and grow, with the architecture supporting multi-subscription, separation of platform vs application landing zones etc.
- Continuous alignment with Azure platform roadmap, updates and reference guidance as Azure evolves
- Documentation, examples, and reference code / tests / utilities to help adoption with real-world workloads and governance guardrails
