Azure Tools and Approaches

Source	Description	Notes
Azure Design Review	Checklists for LZ, AKS, AVS, Multitenancy, Security, AVS, and SAP	Github
Tailor the Azure landing zone architecture to meet requirements	Because not all use cases are the same, not all organizations can use an implementation approach in the exact way it was intended. You need to understand the considerations when a requirement for tailoring is identified	Microsoft Learn
Testing approach for Azure landing zones	The canary management group hierarchy can be independently used to author and test deployments before you deploy them into the production environment.	Microsoft Learn
