Designing a production landing zone
If you need the concept without provider mapping, start with What is a landing zone?. This guide covers the decisions a production platform actually has to record.
Cloud architecture
Cloud architecture here means the tenancy, identity, network and failure-domain decisions that have to be written down before a production platform is safe to operate.
Who this topic is for
Cloud architects and platform engineers who already run production workloads and need a written decision for this environment.
Problems these pages cover
- A landing zone exists as a diagram but account, identity and logging decisions are still implicit.
- Production topology was copied from a workshop account.
- The next change has no ADR and no named residual risk.
