# Mission Landing Zone Accelerators

[**Home**](./README.md) | [**Design**](./DESIGN.md) | [**Accelerators**](./ACCELERATORS.md) | [**Resources**](./RESOURCES.md)

Azure Landing Zone Accelerators are architectural guidance, reference architecture, reference implementations, and automation packaged to deploy workload platforms on Azure at scale and aligned with industry proven practices. Built on top of Mission Landing Zone,
each link below redirects to directories on this repository aimed to enable users to rapidly deploy each accelerator.

## [ESRI ArcGIS Pro & Enterprise with AVD](./docs/esri.md)
This accelerator allows for the deplayment of both ArcGIS Pro & Enterprise on Azure Virtual Desktop.

## [AVD (Azure Virtual Desktop)](./src/bicep/add-ons/azure-virtual-desktop/README.md)
This accelerator allows for the deployment of Zero Trust, SCCA compliant instances of Azure Virtual Desktop.

## [Zero Trust Imaging](./src/bicep/add-ons/imaging/README.md)
This accelerator enables users to create customizable, zero trust images for use with Azure Virtual Desktop.

# Mission LZ Design

[**Home**](./README.md) | [**Design**](./DESIGN.md) | [**Accelerators**](./ACCELERATORS.md) | [**Resources**](./RESOURCES.md)
## Scope

Mission LZ has the following scope:

- Hub and spoke networking intended to comply with SCCA controls
- Predefined spokes for identity, operations, shared services, and workloads
- Ability to create multiple, isolated workloads or team subscriptions
- Remote access
- Compatibility with SCCA compliance (and other compliance frameworks)
- Security using standard Azure tools with sensible defaults
- Azure Policy initiatives

<img src="docs/images/scope-v2.png" alt="A table of the components Mission LZ provisions in Azure beneath a rectangle labeled DISA Secure Cloud Computing Architecture Controls" width="600" />
<!-- markdownlint-enable MD033 -->

## Networking

Networking is set up in a hub and spoke design, separated by tiers: T0 (Identity and Authorization), T1 (Infrastructure Operations), T2 (DevSecOps and Shared Services), and multiple T3s (Workloads). Access control can be configured to allow separation of duties between all tiers.

<img src="docs/images/networking.png" alt="A diagram that depicts a hub with four spokes, each spoke pointing at the hub" width="600" />
<!-- markdownlint-enable MD033 -->

Each virtual network has been given a default address prefix to ensure they fall within the default super network. Refer to the [Networking page](docs/networking.md) for all the default address prefixes.

## Subscriptions

Most customers will deploy each tier to a separate Azure subscription, but multiple subscriptions are not required. A single subscription deployment is good for a testing and evaluation, or possibly a small IT Admin team.

## Firewall

All network traffic is directed through the firewall residing in the Network Hub resource group. The firewall is configured as the default route for all the T0 (Identity and Authorization) through T3 (workload/team environments) resource groups as follows:

| Name | Address prefix | Next hop type | Next hop IP address|
|---------------|----------------|-------------------|--------------------|
| default_route | 0.0.0.0/0 | Virtual Appliance | 10.0.128.68 |

The default firewall configured for MLZ is [Azure Firewall Premium](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firewall/premium-features). The Azure Firewall Premium SKU includes the IDPS feature necessary to satisfy the SCCA VDSS requirement. However, if you do not require IDPS, you can optionally deploy Azure Firewall Standard by settings the `firewallSkuTier` parameter to `Standard`.

Presently, there are two firewall rules configured to ensure access to the Azure Portal and to facilitate interactive logon via PowerShell and Azure CLI, all other traffic is restricted by default. Below are the collection of rules configured for Azure Commercial and Azure Government clouds:

| Rule Collection Priority | Rule Collection Name | Rule Name | Source | Port | Protocol |
|--------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------|---------------|-----------|----------------------------------------|
| 100 | AllowAzureCloud | AzureCloud | * | * | Any |
| 110 | AzureAuth | msftauth | * | Https:443 | aadcdn.msftauth.net, aadcdn.msauth.net |
| 200 | AllowTrafficBetweenSpokes | AllSpokeTraffic | 10.0.128.0/18 | * | Any |

To deploy Mission LZ using Azure Stack Hub and an F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition instead of Azure Firewall Premium, there is an alternate repository with instructions [found here](https://github.com/Azure/missionlz-edge).

## Product Roadmap

See the [Projects](https://github.com/Azure/missionlz/projects) page for the release timeline and feature areas.

Here's a summary of what Mission Landing Zone deploys of as of April 2024:

# Mission LZ

[**Home**](./README.md) | [**Design**](./DESIGN.md) | [**Accelerators**](./ACCELERATORS.md) | [**Resources**](./RESOURCES.md)

Mission Landing Zone is a highly opinionated Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) template which IT oversight organizations can use to create a cloud management system to deploy Azure environments for their workloads and teams.

Mission Landing Zone addresses a narrowly scoped, specific need for a [Secure Cloud Computing Architecture (SCCA)](docs/scca.md) compliant hub and spoke infrastructure.
