Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Landing Zone is a recommended framework for creating a secure, well-architected environment in Google Cloud, which can be customized to meet the unique needs and requirements of any organization.
It lays the groundwork for successful cloud adoption by implementing best practices for governance, security, and compliance controls from the start.
GCP Landing Zone acts as the foundation and provides a structured approach to cloud deployment and cloud operations, empowering organizations of all sizes to advance on their digital transformation initiatives with assurance.
Crucial Outcomes:
Secure Foundation from Day 1 : GCP Landing Zone ensures a secure foundation for cloud workloads by implementing robust security controls, identity management, network segmentation, and data protection mechanisms.
By adhering to Google Cloud's security best practices, it helps establish a secure environment that mitigates risks and safeguards sensitive data and assets.
Growth Supportive : GCP Landing Zone promotes a well-architected environment by following Google Cloud's architectural best practices and design principles.
It provides a framework for naming conventions, tagging strategies, and resource group management to optimize governance and visibility.
By aligning with the Google Cloud recommended Framework, it ensures that your solution is scalable and operationally efficient.
Realise Value Faster : GCP Landing Zone accelerates time-to-value by providing a standardized, automated approach for provisioning, configuring, and managing Google Cloud resources.
Leveraging infrastructure as code (IaC) tools such as Google Cloud Deployment Manager, Google Cloud Build, and Google Cloud Functions, it streamlines environment deployment, reduces manual effort, and minimizes human errors, enabling rapid onboarding of workloads and quick iterations on solutions.
Our Approach:
Route to Compliance : GCP Landing Zone facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and internal policies by implementing governance controls, audit trails, and compliance frameworks.
It leverages Google Cloud's compliance offerings and tools to enforce regulatory compliance, data sovereignty, and privacy requirements, thereby mitigating regulatory risks and building trust with customers and stakeholders.
Improvement cycle : GCP Landing Zone help drive a culture of continuous improvement, enabling iterative enhancements to the cloud environment based on feedback, lessons learned, and evolving business needs.
It employs Google Cloud's monitoring, logging, and optimization tools to proactively monitor, analyze, and optimize the environment for enhanced reliability and performance.
Our Approach:
Discovery Phase
Design and Planning : The initial step involves designing and planning the GCP Landing Zone based on your specific goals, technical requirements, and compliance needs.
This includes defining the layout for the landing environment, establishing resource hierarchies, designing networking architectures, and defining security policies and governance frameworks to align with your objectives and regulatory requirements.
Test & Learn Phase
Provisioning and Configuration Automation : Once the design is finalized, we leverage automation tools and infrastructure as code practices to provision and configure the GCP Landing Zone environment.
This includes deploying foundational resources such as virtual networks, identity services, monitoring solutions, and governance controls using Google Cloud Deployment Manager, Google Cloud Build, and other automation tools.
Measure & Control Phase
Security and Compliance : We will implement robust security controls, access management policies, encryption mechanisms, and compliance frameworks to ensure a secure and compliant environment.
This involves configuring Google Cloud's security services such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), Cloud Key Management Service (KMS), and Cloud Security Command Center to enforce security policies and governance.
Monitor & Rectify Phase
Monitoring and Management : Effective monitoring and management are critical for maintaining the health and performance of the GCP environment.
We will configure the required Google Cloud's monitoring and management tools such as cloud Monitoring, cloud Logging, and Cloud Security Command Center for centralized monitoring, log management, threat detection, and response.
This approach helps identify issues early, remediate vulnerabilities, and optimize performance across the GCP environment.
Improve & Growth Phase
Optimization and Transformation : The GCP Landing environment is designed to be flexible for ongoing optimization and evolution to adapt to changing business needs and technology advancements.
We will continuously evaluate the environment, analyze performance metrics, and identify opportunities for optimization, cost savings, and innovation.
We will help you to maximize the value of your GCP investment and help you stay ahead in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
