Mission Landing Zone is a highly opinionated template which IT oversight organizations can use to create a cloud management system to deploy Azure environments for their teams. It addresses a narrowly scoped, specific need for an SCCA compliant hub and spoke infrastructure.
Mission LZ is:
- Designed for US Gov mission customers
- Implements SCCA requirements following Microsoft's SACA implementation guidance
- Deployable in commercial, government, and air-gapped Azure clouds
- A narrow scope for a specific common need
- A simple solution with low configuration
- Written in Terraform and Bicep
Mission Landing Zone is the right solution when:
- A simple, secure, and scalable hub and spoke infrastructure is needed
- Various teams need separate, secure cloud environments administered by a central IT team
- There is a need to implement SCCA
- Hosting any workload requiring a secure environment, for example: data warehousing, AI/ML, and containerized applications
Design goals include:
- A simple, minimal set of code that is easy to configure
- Good defaults that allow experimentation and testing in a single subscription
- Deployment via command line or with a user interface
- Uses Azure PaaS products
Our intent is to enable IT Admins to use this software to:
- Test and evaluate the landing zone using a single Azure subscription
- Develop a known good configuration that can be used for production with multiple Azure subscriptions
- Optionally, customize the Terraform deployment configuration to suit specific needs
- Deploy multiple customer workloads in production
To get up and running quickly execute the following code from Azure Cloud Shell, or from wherever you have Azure CLI installed.
Don't have Azure CLI? Here's how to get started with Azure Cloud Shell in your browser: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/overview
git clone https://github.com/Azure/missionlz.git
az deployment sub create \
--name myMlzDeployment \
--location eastus \
--template-file ./missionlz/src/bicep/mlz.bicepMission LZ has the following scope:
- Hub and spoke networking intended to comply with SCCA controls
- Remote access
- Shared services, i.e., services available to all workloads via the networking hub
- Ability to create multiple workloads or team subscriptions
- Compatibility with SCCA compliance (and other compliance frameworks)
- Security using standard Azure tools with sensible defaults
Networking is set up in a hub and spoke design, separated by tiers: T0 (Identity and Authorization), T1 (Infrastructure Operations), T2 (DevSecOps and Shared Services), and multiple T3s (Workloads). Security can be configured to allow separation of duties between all tiers. Most customers will deploy each tier to a separate Azure subscription, but multiple subscriptions are not required.
