Avoid the cost and complexity of designing and testing management group hierarchy, Microsoft Entra ID and Azure RBAC, network foundations, and Azure Policy guardrails from scratch.
Cloud infrastructure
shouldn't
be so hard
Building an Azure landing zone is often expensive, complicated, and requires significant ongoing cost and expertise to configure, deploy, and maintain.
Even with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) for Azure, you still need to define how management groups, subscriptions, and resource groups should be structured, set up Microsoft Entra ID and Azure RBAC, build network foundations, standardize security controls, create guardrails with Azure Policy, configure tagging and monitoring, and more.
And an Azure landing zone isn’t a one-time project, it’s a product you now own. Your team is now responsible for every Azure change, security update, module update, and standards drift, forever.
Accelerate
your landing zone setup in Azure
Gruntwork’s Azure Landing Zone is not a consulting service or a black-box package your team can’t maintain. We’ve taken the best practices behind Azure Landing Zones (ALZ) and combined them with IaC best practices and Gruntwork’s opinionated defaults.
The result stands up management groups, Microsoft Entra ID and Azure RBAC, network foundations, and Azure Policy guardrails, delivered as OpenTofu/Terraform code you own, with code-driven subscription vending and a GitOps workflow run by Gruntwork's own tooling.
Key components
Everything as Code
Landing zone configuration, subscription vending, pipelines, and updates are all version-controlled and reviewable via PRs, making the foundation auditable and easy to maintain.
Code Driven Subscription Vending
Bootstrap new Azure subscriptions through a pull-request workflow, preconfigured with the right management group associations, networking baselines, Azure Policy assignments, access patterns, and guardrails.
Resource and Subscription Tagging
Standardize a required tagging schema for every subscription, resource group, and resource provisioned, providing FinOps with granular cost attribution via Azure Cost Management.
CI/CD for Infrastructure
Pipelines provides a secure GitOps workflow for infrastructure: consistent plan/apply patterns, guardrails around change management, and repeatable deployments across environments.
Automated Drift Detection
Drift Detection that continuously checks that real infrastructure matches your IaC, and opens a PR/MR when it doesn’t.
What sets
Gruntwork
apart
An Azure landing zone is a well‑architected, multi‑subscription environment that applies security and governance best practices across your org.
Gruntwork brings these foundations into your Git workflow with a Opentofu/Terraform‑first approach, battle-tested module library, and pipelines that teams already understand, making the landing zone maintainable, reviewable, and evolvable as code.

Faster than DIY
Cut time to production by 60%
Use patterns already proven in production to reach a live landing zone faster, and cut ongoing maintenance costs.
Maintainability
Our code is documented, versioned, modular and best of all, Gruntwork is constantly maintaining and improving it.
Ownership & Customization
You have full access to the code. You can customize everything, and you're never locked in.
Ongoing cost savings
Allows for a smaller DevOps team to manage the entire environment, freeing up valuable engineering resources.
Built for real DevOps teams
Technical documentation, expert support, and flexibility for engineers — not buzzwords for sales and marketing.
Who Gruntwork is for
Enterprises
— your existing Azure environment is inconsistent and hard to manage. You need a well-architected foundation to improve security, reduce operational overhead, and accelerate innovation.
Mid-Market & Scaleups
— you're migrating to Azure or scaling your existing footprint. You need to standardize your environment, enforce governance, and empower your development teams to move quickly.
Startups & SMBs
— you need to get to market fast, but can't compromise on security or compliance. You don't have the time or capital to hire a large platform team or expensive consultants.
One
common interface,
three clouds
Managing a multi-cloud infrastructure? Gruntwork provides a common interface for provisioning and managing landing zones on Azure, AWS, and GCP. The command surface, the config schema, and the lifecycle operations (creating an account, updating baselines, rolling out a policy change) are identical across all three clouds.
What differs is what gets built underneath. Each cloud's landing zone is still constructed the idiomatic way for that provider: AWS Organizations and Control Tower on AWS, management groups and Azure Policy on Azure, folders and organization policies on GCP. That distinction is an implementation detail behind the interface, not something your team has to relearn cloud by cloud.
There is no UI, so it drops straight into whatever CI/CD pipeline already runs the rest of your infrastructure. No separate console workflow to bolt on.
