Landing Zones: Azure, AWS, and GCP

Landing Zones: Azure, AWS, and GCP

In Azure, an objective landing zone is called an Azure Landing Zone. It is a set of Azure resources and best practices designed to support a specific business objective or workload. An Azure Landing Zone includes Azure subscriptions, resource groups, and core services such as Azure Virtual Network, Azure Active Directory, and Azure Security Center.

In AWS, an objective landing zone is called an AWS Well-Architected Objective Landing Zone. It is a collection of AWS accounts, resource hierarchies, and core services designed to support a specific business objective or workload. An AWS Well-Architected Objective Landing Zone includes AWS accounts, Organizational Units (OUs), and core services such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).

In GCP, an objective landing zone is referred to as a GCP Landing Zone, and it is a set of GCP resources and best practices designed to support a specific business objective or workload. A GCP Landing Zone includes GCP projects, resource hierarchies, and core services such as Google Cloud Identity, Google Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), and Google Compute Engine (GCE).

Overall, the main difference between the three landing zones is the specific cloud platform they are designed for. However, they all serve a similar purpose of providing a secure and scalable foundation for your workloads in the cloud.
