A "hub and spoke" landing zone

[acmthinks]

Not sure if this is applicable or not, but it seems more than a few client conversations have been centered around "how to set up their cloud account".

Clients have been asking about a "hub and spoke" pattern to their cloud account with centralize a subset of cloud services for visibility, security, and compliance while giving enough autonomy for the workloads to provision the services they need, within the "guardrails" of a centralized authority.

Pub/Fed and banking clients seem to be gravitating toward a "hub and spoke" design to their cloud account and organization structure. For example, in large orgs with distributed IT teams, a "cooking cutter" landing zone for workloads interacts with a centralized "management plane" account for aggregate logging, brokering public traffic, centralized audit & billing access.
