INFRASTRUCTURE SETUP

Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Setup and Cloud Landing Zone Service

Microsoft Azure infrastructure setup is a service that designs and deploys a secure Landing Zone architecture in line with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) standards, encompassing compute, networking, identity management (IAM), storage, security, and monitoring resources.

OVERVIEW

What is Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Setup and Cloud Landing Zone Service?

Creating a sustainable infrastructure in cloud transformation requires a architectural approach beyond just dynamic resource creation. In the Azure infrastructure setup process, corporate governance, cost optimization (FinOps), high availability, and cybersecurity principles are central.

The process includes the design of Azure Management Groups, Subscription architecture, Resource Group hierarchy, Virtual Network (VNet) and Subnet design, Network Security Group (NSG) security rules, IPsec VPN / ExpressRoute hybrid connections, Microsoft Entra ID identity management, Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, and Recovery Services Vault backup mechanisms.

SERVICE SCOPE

Service scope

01

Azure Enterprise-Scale Landing Zone Design

Management Group hierarchy, Subscription architecture, naming convention standards, tagging policies, and Azure Policy rule sets are created.

02

Network Architecture and Hybrid Identity Integration

Hub-and-Spoke VNet topology, Subnet segmentation, NSG/ASG security rules, DNS resolution, Site-to-Site VPN / ExpressRoute architecture, and Microsoft Entra ID connections are designed.

03

Workload and Service Setup

Azure Virtual Machines (VM), Azure App Service, Azure SQL Database, Storage Accounts, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) components are brought into service in accordance with security baseline requirements.

04

Management, Monitoring, and Cost Optimization (FinOps)

Central monitoring with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics, backup/recovery scenarios with Azure Backup and Site Recovery, and budget alerts via Azure Cost Management are configured.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Can Microsoft Azure usage costs be accurately calculated in advance?

Budget projections can be prepared using Azure Calculator and Capacity Planning tools based on processor, memory, storage, and estimated network traffic inputs. However, continuous monitoring and application of Azure Cost Management alerts and FinOps procedures are necessary for ongoing cost control, especially for variable data egress traffic, fluctuating request volumes, and dynamic scaling expenses.

Is migrating workloads to the Azure cloud environment advantageous in all scenarios?

Cloud transformation does not automatically provide cost or performance advantages for every application. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) should be evaluated by analyzing licensing dependencies, network latency tolerances, dynamic bandwidth needs, and the operational expertise of the team, considering the specific use case.

Can the existing on-premises (on-premises) Active Directory infrastructure be integrated with Azure?

Yes, Microsoft Entra Connect (Azure AD Connect) or Entra Cloud Sync tools can be used to synchronize on-premises Active Directory identities with Azure. Site-to-Site VPN or ExpressRoute connections can be used to run hybrid identity and authentication models securely.
