Platform Design

Playground

This playground environment is designed to test new Azure features, apply platform engineering principles, and explore the nuances of managing Azure landing zones as code. It provides a hands-on learning experience in a safe space where users can experiment not only with Azure services such as Identity, Networking, or Azure Policy but also with modern Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Bicep, and GitHub Actions. While it functions as a playground, it follows to the same development principles as a production tenant.

Everything-as-Code

Embrace the Everything-as-Code philosophy by fully automating platform provisioning and configuration, eliminating the need for direct human action. The codebase is designed to be easily replicated via GitHub and deployed to any Azure global tenant. This provides Azure platform engineers with a solid foundation to build upon, enabling them to continue their journey without starting from scratch. They can leverage this pre-built foundation and customize configurations to suit their specific needs, significantly accelerating their ability to deliver tailored solutions.

Focus on Real-World Challenges

It addresses the daily challenges faced by cloud engineers, including isolating applications, creating or updating landing zones, and making it effortless to modify the code as requirements evolve. It bridges the gap between experimentation and real-world landing zone setups, enabling a seamless transition from proof-of-concept stages to production-ready environments.
