The pre-development
landing zones
offered by the KPMG
Cloud Engineering
team brings the power of moving workloads
to Azure Cloud
with rapid prototyping
automated governance and secure promotion
to production.
Instead of relying on the legacy
sandbox environment,
which comes with restrictive measures
surrounding access controls
and tenant level policies,
the pre-development
landing zone proves
to unblock these limitations
by serving
as a modernized lab environment.
That's designed
to allow for rapid prototyping
while maintaining KPMG's
security posture.
It essentially empowers KPMG opt of teams
to quickly provision
the cloud infrastructure
they need to test their applications.
Some of the main value added
benefits of this landing zone
include enabling developers
to have elevated privileges
to build proprietary workloads
in the cloud.
The environment also incorporates
self auditable policy guardrails
to ensure a flexible
but safe testing environment.
The landing zone
also offers
optional cloud
support groups
who help accelerate the path
to production
and ensure
that the infrastructure adheres
to the latest Azure security standards.
Any demos
done in the pre-development
landing zone
can easily be fast
tracked into production
by leveraging the optional Cloud
Certified Component Library
and GitHub pipelines.
With these value added benefits.
You now have the freedom
to test ideas before a form
a project is even created, therefore,
saving the team
valuable resources and time
built on top of the pre-development
framework is the dev
friendly landing zone.
This landing
zone combines
the flexibility
and speed of the pre dev environment,
but with the full security offerings
required to run
higher data
classification workloads in production.
Some of the most common
supported use cases
include artificial intelligence
and machine learning workloads
in which higher classified
data may be used to fine tune models
to support this requirement.
Security certified code
components and patterns must be used
to remove
any guesswork of securing cloud resources
to further improve.
Time to market
production, grade
policy guardrails
are already set in place
to provide
awareness of what alerts
need to be remediated
before workloads
are transitioned to production.
This end to end promotional process
incorporates required
cloud support groups
and automated governance
in order to enable a streamlined
path to production.
