The Enterprise-Scale architecture provides prescriptive guidance coupled with Azure best practices, and it follows design principles across the critical design areas for organizations to define their Azure architecture. It will continue to evolve alongside the Azure platform and is ultimately defined by the various design decisions that organizations must make to define their Azure journey.
The Enterprise-Scale architecture represents the strategic design path and target technical state for your Azure environment.
Not all enterprises adopt Azure in the same way, so the Enterprise-Scale architecture may vary between customers. Ultimately, the technical considerations and design recommendations of the Enterprise-Scale architecture may lead to different trade-offs based on the customer's scenario. Some variation is expected, but if core recommendations are followed, the resulting target architecture will put the customer on a path to sustainable scale.
The reference implementations in this repository are intended to support Enterprise-Scale Azure adoption by taking learnings from previous engineering engagements and provide architecture design pattern.
To fully leverage this reference implementation in this repository, readers must have a collaborative engagement with key customer stakeholders across critical technical domains, such as identity, security, and networking. Ultimately, the success of cloud adoption hinges on cross-discipline cooperation within the organization, since key requisite Enterprise-Scale design decisions are cross cutting, and to be authoritative must involve domain Subject Matter Expertise (SME) and stakeholders within the customer. It is crucial that the organization has defined their Enterprise-Scale Architecture following the design principles and critical design areas.
It is also assumed that readers have a broad understanding of key Azure constructs and services in order to fully contextualize the prescriptive recommendations contained within Enterprise-Scale.
The Enterprise-Scale architecture is modular by design and allows customers to start with foundational Landing Zones that support their application portfolios, regardless of whether the applications are being migrated or are newly developed and deployed to Azure. The architecture can scale alongside the customer's business requirements regardless of scale point. In this repository we are providing the following three templates representing different scenarios composed using ARM templates.
