About The Project
Overview
Mission: Design and implement enterprise-grade Azure landing zones for a multi-business-unit organization with 15 subscriptions, hybrid connectivity, zero-trust security, and comprehensive governance framework.
Key Results:
- 15 subscriptions deployed across 3 business units with full governance
- 75% faster deployment (8 weeks → 2 weeks for multi-region setup)
- 35% cost reduction through reserved instances and FinOps optimization
- 99.99% uptime with multi-region failover and hybrid connectivity
- 100% policy compliance across all subscriptions with automated enforcement

Multi-Subscription Governance Framework
Management subscription with centralized policies
15 subscriptions organized by business unit (Prod/Test/Dev)
Azure Policy enforcement • Cost management • RBAC hierarchy
Technical Solution
Landing Zone Architecture
- Hub-and-spoke model: Central hub network (10.0.0.0/16) with 3 spoke networks per region
- Multi-region: 3 Azure regions (East US, West US, North Europe) with regional failover
- Subscription strategy: 15 subscriptions organized by business unit and environment (Prod/Test/Dev)
- Resource organization: 40+ resource groups with consistent naming and tagging strategy
Hybrid Connectivity
- ExpressRoute: 10 Gbps dedicated circuit for primary production connectivity
- VPN failover: Site-to-Site VPN with automatic failover to ExpressRoute
- Azure Arc: Hybrid management for 200+ on-premises VMs and servers
- Azure Stack HCI: Edge compute integration for branch offices
Hybrid Connectivity Architecture
On-premises datacenter connected via ExpressRoute (10Gbps) + VPN backup
Azure Arc management • Azure Stack HCI • Hybrid synchronization • Zero-trust security
Identity & Access Management
- Entra ID (Azure AD): Enterprise identity integration with federated authentication
- Privileged Identity Management (PIM): Just-in-time access for administrative roles
- Custom RBAC roles: 50+ custom roles defined for business unit isolation
- Conditional access: MFA enforcement and location-based access policies
Network Security
- Azure Firewall: Centralized firewall with 200+ application and network rules
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): OWASP Top 10 protection for public applications
- DDoS Protection Standard: Always-on traffic monitoring and mitigation
- Zero-trust architecture: Network segmentation with micro-segmentation and least-privilege access
Governance & Compliance
- Azure Policy: 100+ policies enforcing naming conventions, resource locations, and security baselines
- Resource tagging: Mandatory tags for cost center, environment, business unit, and owner
- Cost management: Budget alerts, anomaly detection, and chargeback reports per business unit
- Compliance mapping: SOC 2, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 compliance documentation and audit trails
Governance & Compliance Framework
100+ Azure Policies enforcing security baselines
Resource tagging strategy • Cost budgets per BU • Compliance mapping (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
Automated audit trails • Policy-driven enforcement
Infrastructure as Code
- Bicep modules: 12 reusable modules for networking, compute, storage, and security
- Terraform modules: 12 modules for multi-cloud scenarios (Azure + on-premises)
- CI/CD integration: Azure DevOps pipelines with automated testing and deployment
- GitOps workflow: Infrastructure versioning with pull request approvals
