Landing Zone
In plain terms
A preconfigured, secure baseline cloud environment.
Going deeper
A landing zone sets up accounts, networking, security, and governance as a foundation before deploying workloads to the cloud. It standardizes the starting point.
Under the hood
Encodes guardrails, identity, and account structure for scale; speeds compliant onboarding of teams.
Examples
Enterprise cloud setup, AWS Control Tower, governance baselines, multi-account.
Think of it like...
Like prepping a building's foundation and utilities before any tenants move in.
