Azure Foundation
Build your cloud strategy on a solid foundation.

Automated, error-free, and according to clear standards, developed by real professionals. With people who ensure everything runs smoothly – and you can relax. Sounds too good to be true? Maybe, but today is your lucky day. Just scroll down.
Advantages of the Azure Foundation
With Azure Foundation, glueckkanja offers a collection of Azure Landing Zone architectures and best practices developed from the combined experience of numerous successfully implemented projects. The benefits of our unified approach speak for themselves:
Forget annoying updates or outdated software. The Azure Foundation was developed entirely in the cloud, so you are always up to date with the latest cloud technology.
We have already prepared something: With our Infrastructure-as-Code methodology, you can deploy environments faster and with fewer errors.
The Azure Landing Zone adheres to your organizational and regulatory standards. This means for you: securely comply with regulations, simplify management, and minimize risks during deployment and use.
Integration with GitHub Pipelines enables seamless CI/CD, ensuring fast and reliable updates and deployments with minimal downtime.
The Azure Landing Zones are not a one-time setup. Microsoft continuously develops new solutions and best practices, which we efficiently integrate into your environment through our extensive project experience. This keeps your cloud strategy flexible, future-proof, and always up to date – without significant downtime.
Don't feel like reading so much text? Our Cloud Architects Patrick and Guido present all the key facts of the Azure Foundation in our webcast (in German with subtitles).
