A foundation designed deliberately, not guessed at.
Environment structure, naming standards, and governance built in before workloads pile on — or retrofitted cleanly if they already have.
What Cloud Foundation covers
Cloud Foundation is the base layer any environment needs before anything else is trustworthy: a real environment structure, naming and tagging standards, network topology, and policy guardrails baked in from day one — not bolted on after resources already exist. This applies whether that's a landing zone on Azure/AWS or a datacenter foundation built on VMware; the framework and discipline are the same even though the native tooling differs.

A landing zone sort of exists, but it grew organically and doesn't match CAF guidance anymore.
- Audit of current subscription and management group structure
- Gap analysis against Cloud Adoption Framework guidance
- Retrofit plan that doesn't require tearing everything down
What's included in the Cloud Foundation / Landing Zone consultation
- Management group hierarchy review or design
- Subscription vending model appropriate to your scale
- CAF alignment gap analysis
- Landing zone architecture diagram and documentation
- Policy scope and inheritance plan
- Written roadmap prioritized by risk and effort
- 30-minute walkthrough call to review findings
