landing-zone-lifecycle

Type: decision

Decision

Landing zone provisioning draws from a subscription bank, returning the subscription to it when the landing zone is sunset.

Why

Azure subscription limit (MCA quota) counts cancelled subscriptions the same as active - it never frees up.

Links

• application-teams-own-the-cost — Reused subscription must move to the application's invoice section before provisioning completes.
• job-function-scoped-roles — Subscription-bank read access is granted through the app engineer role, allowing to discover reusable subscriptions.
