Example of a tailored Azure landing zone hierarchy

Diagram that shows a tailored Azure landing zone hierarchy.

Points to consider

Tailoring the hierarchy isn't mandatory. The default archetypes and hierarchy we provide are suitable for most scenarios.
Don't re-create your organizational hierarchy, teams, or departments in archetypes.
Always try to build on the existing archetypes and hierarchy to meet new requirements.
Only create new archetypes when they're truly needed.
Don't create archetypes for environments like development, test, and production.

Green field. New environment

Brown Field. Existing environment
