Lots of teams ask: “Why do I need a Landing Zone? Can’t I just deploy into Resource Groups and VNets protected with NSGs?”

You absolutely can—at first. But “fast” often becomes a subscription filled with fragmented naming, inconsistent access, policy drift, orphaned assets, and security gaps that cost far more to unwind later.

This session shows how to avoid sprawl from day 1 without slowing delivery. We’ll walk through the real pain points teams hit after the first few workloads, then translate those lessons into a simple, repeatable approach based on the Azure Landing Zone reference architecture and the Cloud Adoption Framework design areas.
