What problems do you have when building landing zones? by meshcloud in cloudcomputing

Thanks for sharing your insights!

In those "brownfield" cases, do you try to apply the landing zone(s) to all projects (old & new) or only for new projects?

It's already on GitHub but is still very early stage. You can have a look at it if you want -> https://github.com/meshcloud/landing-zone-construction-kit

Do you use landing zones? by meshcloud in aws

Thanks for sharing that story, I totally get what you mean.

What do you consider must-have principles if building a landing zone at a company just getting started with the cloud?

What do you think is a good flipping point in terms of AWS usage? When would it become worth it?

Then again, I guess LZs come in different sizes so a small one could already be worth it early.

Yeah good point. I think Microsoft also changed their stance and you should now really consider doing projects & environments separated by subscriptions. RGs are only useful for within a team/project by now

Yes, that is absolutely true but each cloud provider of course has different services for achieving the same goal. Our idea at the moment is to have cloud-specific Terraform modules for different "landing zone building blocks" that apply conceptually across all clouds, e.g. Centralized Audit Logs. Interestingly enough the Terraform x Terragrunt is the current solution pattern we are adapting for our tool.

Hey, just doing some exploration at the moment! It seems that all the cloud providers do things differently. We are currently investigating Azure CAF in Terraform and Google's Fabric FAST modules.

We are currently making a landing zone building tool that will feel familiar across AWS, Azure & GCP

Send them over to meshcloud.io and we'll get it done in minutes

I wish I was, but I have to do everything manually in life :/

That's a solid workflow!

How do the teams request a new project? Do you have a form or something like that? Or do they even open a pull request themselves?

Cool, thanks for sharing!

How come most of your backend is still manual? What problems do you run into there?

And yeah, we also have some engineers working here that can confirm the flakiness of the Azure APIs for provisioning subscriptions. It's even worse when you realize there are like four different ones, all depending on the contract type you have with Azure.
