Azure Landing Zone Accelerator

https://github.com/DavidArayaSanabria/Azure-Landing-Zone-Accelerator

Azure landing zones are the output of a multi-subscription Azure environment that accounts for scale, security governance, networking, and identity. Azure landing zones enable application migration, modernization, and innovation at enterprise scale in Azure. These zones consider all platform resources required to support the customer's application portfolio and don't differentiate between infrastructure-as-a-service or platform-as-a-service.
