Azure Landing Zones Overview

[@peterdolina9124]

Ladies and Gents, What this teacher does is called "problem teaching". He states a problem, a question and then continues to explore possible answers/solutions. That in my opinion is the best way to understand the topic and to learn it. Follow his example if you teach. Two minutes spent on Savill's course is worth 20 minutes spent on other courses on KZbin in the Azure territory, where the "teachers" speak a language similar to English yet not easily understandable plus the "course" is a demo of the presentator's knowledge not an attempt to teach anything. Thanks, John.

[@tejrao11]

Honestly, I am just here to type the same feedback as you as John being the ultimate teacher / mentor here and I just saw your reply.

[@joneslt]

We are in the beginning stages of implementing this. At the beginning of this video you mentioned you were hesitant to cover this since "Microsoft's documentation is so good". Just know that these videos make it 10x easier to learn and understand this stuff. The video format is much more helpful than technets, and everything is consolidated into one place. You are my goto when I need to learn anything Azure. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

[@diogomaul6467]

This is so true, Microsoft documentation is great indeed, but also huge. So, getting all that chewed in 45 minutes like you did here is a great hot start and help a lot to localize yourself when you need to jump in the specifics of the documentation.

[@hgtuttle]

The Microsoft docs are so full of marketing jargon and corpo speak that it's painfully difficult to actually get the idea. 3+ years of working in Azure finally, going through certification and this video was the "ah hah" moment for all the BS I was trying to sift through.

[@IvanBudylin]

I'm a simple guy: I see the great new video from John, I press like :)

[@NTFAQGuy]

we are very similar :-D

[@rabbit4807]

I'm amazed by how wonderfully you manage to explain things that I spend days trying to understand using various videos and documentations, without much success, in a succinct and logical way. Thank you so much for making this video! Sure there's a bunch of documentation (which I've read but i still didn't understand it as well as i do now) but the way you voice out the relationships between different components and the "why" and "how" of the problem and the solution for it, is exactly what I need. Some things might be assumed as common knowledge in the documentations, and when you're a newbie like me it's not obvious what is being assumed and where to learn about it, you explain everything so clearly, which i love about all your videos and it's an absolute life saver and frustration reducer for me. Again thanks a lot for making this video!

[@zomgoose]

Alrighty, now I am ready for that 1 PM meeting! Thanks John!

[@santhoshbp7410]

The best Azure Landing Zone explanation I have seen so far

Documentation are great! but when explain it on your board and via portal, it looks more simpler and understandable. Thanks John!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very welcome

[@soucianceeqdamrashti8175]

Thanks for the intro to Landing Zone. I am about to start project-managing two related projects so I appreciate the info. BTW I was a 2021 IMMD finisher. Glad to see another one here! If you can deal with the jelly fish and the wind, you can deal with anything in life lol

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yes, the jelly fish threat is real :-D

[@myynj2003]

Vaseline + allergy pills + long sleeve wet suit 😂

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yeah I didn’t have that lol and had short sleeve wet suit. I got all stung up but honestly after hour on the bike wasn’t that bad but sucked at first

[@kristinareichardt4037]

Hello John, thank you very much for your videos. They really help me understanding everything about Azure! So I'm really grateful you're taking the time explaining everything even though it's already documented.

[@akhasfarooq1148]

WOW mate! Amazing! You are awesome! The way you just broke that down and how you described something that comes across as soo complicated in the documentation in such simple words was very impressive. You've got a new subscriber. Keep up the fantastic work! Its much appreciated.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Wow, thanks!

[@remkovaniersel330]

Very well explained and eleborated on the concept and different options for the CAF Landing Zones! :)

Great course and very well explained !

[@miqbal824]

Ahhhh, what an awesome session.

[@ChrisVisserOnline]

Hi John, thanks again for yet another awesome video/contribution! Question around 31:10, did you mean to say "deploy everything through a template" (to include subscription level resources)? Appreciate your work and effort bro. I'm learning like never before! Thank you!!! (May the 4th be with you, lol - I had to)

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yes and glad they help :-)

[@tamimthaher2405]

It's an amazing walkthrough. thank You so much !!

[@NTFAQGuy]

You're very welcome!

[@C-Swede]

Great walkthrough, really made LZ’s more tangible for me. Would have liked to hear something about partner landing zones too.

[@FalcoPunch182]

Hey John, thank you for the great content. Could you maybe do a explanation video on Azure VWAN? Now remember, I used Express route and VPN but what is VWAN bringing in terms of benefits?

[@NTFAQGuy]

I already have a vwan video, search the channel.

[@mannevinod9375]

Think of it John comes with it next week thanks a lot

[@NTFAQGuy]

Enjoy it

[@AquibQureshi]

Very useful, Keep up the good work John :)

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks, will do!

[@andrii3810]

Great explanation, thx!

[@wannageering]

Great video as usual John! One question: what if you're not starting out, is it possible to use Landing Zones within an existing environment?

[@NTFAQGuy]

yes I did mention can use on greenfield and brownfield.

[@RajivAradhyula]

Awesome. Big thank you. What questions should we ask the customer if we are designing a landing zone? i am assuming, i will try to understand his current policies, infra and connectivity he has to the Azure, how many subscriptions and as you said, the management groups and its hierarchy. Can a sub-tenant in the landing zone have his own landing zone?

[@RajivAradhyula]

Another question :) , what should be the plan for deploying shared services for the landing? should we just park all the shared services in a RG?

[@NTFAQGuy]

You should read through the docs where you’ll find these answers :)

[@Carlesgl81]

John for President!

[@NTFAQGuy]

lol

[@Samuelclark11]

Triathlon and cloud technology?! It’ me in 10 years!

[@darrenwest7156]

Great video Jon, as usual. Do you think you need to have a LLD design for a new application before deploying the landing zone for it?

[@NTFAQGuy]

I think you should have a design and plan before adopting yes. Maybe not understanding the question

[@hannahtate4188]

Hi John, I am wondering, if my tenant subscription has O365 licensing, would I try to apply a blueprint in the Azure portal or is there an equivalent for applying similar blueprints in O365 admin center via the O365 security and compliance center?

[@NTFAQGuy]

These are built around Azure services so your Office licenses are not really part of this other than AAD rights you get for certain things. You use Azure portal.

[@peroxisom5026]

Thank you very much John, your videos allways helped me understand azure better. Your presentation stlye with the whiteboard is very clever. I think a lot of people need to see and not just hear it, so thats awesome. May I ask you a question regarding landing-zones or the azure adoption framework. Is there somewhere in the web something like a tutorial or a scenario which I can use to go through the whole cloud adoption journey. Maybe a scenario of a small onprem infrastructure which needs to be migrated to azure, with the help of the cloud adoption framework. Do you know something like that?

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad you enjoy the videos. Most docs have guides etc

[@SimplyRik]

Hi John, thanks for explaining and making it simple. Can you also make one on Azure B2C? updated one pls?

[@NTFAQGuy]

I have a video on B2B and B2C and external identities. No plan on a deep B2C at this time.

[@SimplyRik]

[@kannaneranaveerappan9355]

Thank you, John. It is kind of spoon feeding. Great! I have one question. How to have this ARM template in our company Github repository instead of executing it from public Github?

You could just clone the repo or grab the file and commit yourself

[@sushbhatt]

Definitely great videos and awesome explanations. But for someone like me who relies heavily on practical knowledge, coping up with theoretical explanation becomes difficult. I have had this experience with all the videos that you have. I think you are the only person who knows how these things work in the background. Your expertise is unmatched, but I wonder if this can be mixed with practical knowledge as well?
