This blueprint is a custom implementation of the "Azure Cloud Adoption Framework landing zones for Terraform" found at the following URL: https://github.com/Azure/caf-terraform-landingzones
This landinzone solution follows the GC Naming and Tagging Standard for Azure.
In summary the concept of the Landingzone is similar to how you would build presence on a remote planet (the cloud).
1st, you would use some sort of rover to build a launchpad from which you would control activity on the remote planet (L0_blueprint_launchpad).
Next, using the rover on the launchpad you would build a base from which to operate. (L1_blueprint_base).
Finally, from this base, you can then start to work on various project and missions. (L2_blueprint_project).
To communicate with earth (ground) from the landinzone base you need to relay communications through a spaceport (Shared VDC). The spaceport is the only way communication from the base with earth can be established. The spaceport is built by a central authority that oversee and ensure all communication flow security. The L1_blueprint_spaceport is not part of this client project.
All those blueprints use resources found on the planet and/or pre-built modules to create the assembly.
So here you have it. A L0 blueprint is 1st deployed, then the L1 blueprint and finally the L2 blueprint. There is a structured dependancies between them all to successfully complete projects/missions outcome on the remote planet ;-)
In order to start deploying your with CAF landing zones, you need admin rights on your development machine and the following components installed on it:
You can deploy it easily on Windows and MacOS with the following software managers:
| MacOS | Windows |
|---|---|
brew cask install visual-studio-code docker |
Install Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/docs/installation) |
brew install git |
choco install git vscode docker-desktop |
Once installed, open Visual Studio Code and install "Remote Development" extension
Follow the README.md documentation in:
If all went well you will now have deployed the landinzone in the subscription.
