Azure Landing Zones Accelerator Skill
Deploy Azure Landing Zones using the ALZ Accelerator with Azure Verified Modules (AVM). This skill captures the recommended workflow, decision framework, and best practices from the ALZ core team.
Key Concepts
AVM (Azure Verified Modules): An infrastructure-as-code standard for deploying Azure resources following best practices. AVM has resource modules (single resources) and pattern modules (complex architectural patterns composed from resource modules). AVM is the only recommended way to deploy Azure Landing Zones infrastructure.
ALZ Accelerator: A tool that bootstraps the entire Azure Landing Zone deployment including CI/CD pipelines, version control, and infrastructure configuration. It uses AVM modules under the hood.
Deployment Stacks (Bicep): Used by the Bicep accelerator to handle resource lifecycle management, eliminating the pain of manually managing policy assignments and resource deletions.
Decision Framework: Bicep vs Terraform
