Azure Landing Zone
Deop designs and deploys an enterprise-scale Azure landing zone — governance, identity, networking, and a security baseline delivered as code — then lands your workloads on it. A foundation aligned to Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework, delivered with Microsoft.
CAF-aligned reference architecture, not a blank subscription
governance, networking & policy deployed and reconciled as code
identity, security baseline & guardrails from day one
delivered alongside Microsoft, often with partner funding
Public sector, enterprise & software teams on a Deop-built Azure foundation
Why it matters
Teams spin up Azure fast — a subscription here, a resource group there — and governance, network isolation, identity and cost controls get bolted on later, if at all. That's how you end up with sprawl, security gaps, and a cloud bill nobody can explain. An enterprise-scale landing zone fixes the order of operations: the governed foundation comes first, so everything you build and migrate onto it inherits the guardrails.
And the landing zone is only the start. Our biggest differentiator is what comes after: we're enablers. We land your workloads, hand over a foundation your team actually owns, and coach them to run it — not a reference architecture that gathers dust.

How it works
Delivered with
+
1
Review your tenant, workloads and compliance needs against the Cloud Adoption Framework — and flag Microsoft funding eligibility.
2
Define the enterprise-scale landing zone — management groups, networking, identity, policy — as code, before anything is deployed.
3
Stand up the governed foundation: management groups, hub-spoke network, identity, security baseline and monitoring wired in.
4
Migrate workloads onto the landing zone, confirm the guardrails hold, and hand over a foundation your team owns.
The Deop difference
Governance, networking and guardrails are defined as code and continuously reconciled — so the standard changes in one place and drift is reverted automatically across every subscription.
Platform / management-group baseline
policy · RBAC · security baseline · guardrails — as code
Landing-zone overrides
per workload / BU — networking · budgets · allowed regions
Per-subscription config
app-specific policy · tags · access
↻ Continuously reconciled — change once, applied everywhere, drift reverted
Why Deop
Deop holds the Microsoft Infra & Database Migration and Agentic DevOps specializations — independently audited, and exactly this work.
An enterprise-scale reference implementation deployed as code — a known path aligned to Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework, not a first attempt.
Senior engineers on every engagement, delivered alongside Microsoft — often with partner funding on eligible Azure work.
Proof
Protected B, aligned to federal & Ontario standards
data residency in Canada East & Central
Azure Backup & Site Recovery built in
Their Azure Landing Zone framework gave us the governance, security, and compliance alignment we needed — especially for municipal workloads under Ontario’s data regulations. We’ve since seen several other Ontario municipalities adopt similar models built by Deop for PBMM compliance and cost-efficient disaster recovery.
Questions buyers ask us
An Azure landing zone is a pre-provisioned, governed environment built on Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework — management groups, policy, networking, identity, security and monitoring — that your workloads land on, so everything you deploy inherits the guardrails instead of bolting them on later.
Microsoft's reference architecture for landing zones at scale: a management-group hierarchy, policy-as-code, hub-spoke or Virtual WAN networking, centralized identity and a security baseline. Deop deploys it as code and tailors it to your estate.
Yes. We build the governed foundation and land your workloads on it — VMs, data and apps — with infrastructure as code and zero downtime as the target, modernizing where it fits.
Yes. We deploy to your required region and regulatory regime — Canadian data residency, US or EU/GDPR — with policy-as-code enforcing it across every subscription.
Often, yes — for eligible Azure engagements we work with Microsoft to bring partner funding to the work.
A production-ready landing zone is typically a few weeks; workload migration and enablement roll out from there in waves.
