Cloud infrastructure
shouldn't
be so hard
Building a landing zone is often expensive, complicated, and requires significant ongoing cost and expertise to configure, deploy, and maintain.
Even with Google’s foundation blueprints, you still need to define how orgs, folders, and projects should be structured, set up identity and access management, build network foundations, standardize security controls, create guardrails, and more.
And a landing zone isn’t a one-time project, it’s a product you now own. Your team is responsible for every Google Cloud change, security update, module update, and standards drift, forever.
Accelerate
your landing zone setup in GCP
Gruntwork and our vetted GCP technology partners streamline standing up a well-architected landing zone in Google Cloud.
Gruntwork DevOps Standards and Patterns
Infrastructure is only as good as the patterns it follows. We’ve taken our decades long experience building AWS landing zones and applied those same opinionated DevOps standards to Google Cloud, ensuring your infrastructure follows Gruntwork’s IaC standards and patterns.
Landing Zones Built with Partners
Our GCP partners bring the Google Cloud expertise and infrastructure building blocks, giving you three main approaches to stand up your landing zone:
Enterprise Foundations Blueprint (EFB): blueprint of resources and configurations when security and governance is the primary driver
Cloud Foundation Fabric FAST: suite of blueprints and Terraform modules when you want an opinionated foundation built on widely used patterns
Custom developed opinionated modules when you have specific requirements and want to standardize without a rebuild

GitOps Infra Tooling by Gruntwork
Gruntwork’s suite of tooling enables you to automate infrastructure deployment and maintenance with:
Pipelines to automate your CI/CD. Plans run on pull requests and applies run on merge, all inside your GitHub/GitLab runners.
Drift Detection to remediate infrastructure drift. PRs auto-open whenever your infra drifts from code.
Patcher to keep your IaC up-to-date. Patcher scans your configurations, raises PRs, highlights breaking changes, and sequences rollouts across environments.

Key components
Everything as Code
Landing zone configuration, account vending, pipelines, and updates are all version‑controlled and reviewable via PRs.
Org, Folder, and Project Architecture
A scalable resource hierarchy (org → folders → projects) with clear separation of concerns (platform, security, shared services, workloads).
Code Driven Project Vending
Bootstrap new GCP projects through a pull-request workflow, pre-configured with the right baselines, access patterns, and guardrails.
Security & Governance Guardrails
A secure foundation that includes patterns for shared VPC, centralized egress/ingress controls, IAM baselines, org policies, logging/monitoring baselines, and security services.
Resource and Project Tagging
Standardize a required label/tag schema for every project and resource provisioned, providing FinOps with granular cost attribution.
CI/CD for Infrastructure
Gruntwork Pipelines provides a secure GitOps workflow for infrastructure: consistent plan/apply patterns, guardrails around change management, and repeatable deployments across environments.
Automated Drift Detection
Gruntwork Drift Detection that continuously checks that real infrastructure matches your IaC, and opens a PR/MR when it doesn’t.
