Documentation: Overall Architectural Overview

[gamullen]

Documentation Issue

This project looks very promising, but by reading the documentation (maybe I'm missing something) I can't figure out a number of important items:

• Does this create a "traditional" Azure Landing Zone? Meaning hub/spoke network topology, different subscriptions (Management, Identity, Connectivity, etc.) or does it expect that to be there already and builds off of it?
• Is there a complete list of Azure services created by this automation? I see mention of Purview, Event Hub, Cosmos, Integration Runtime, etc. Which of these are optional and which are mandatory?
• A diagram showing how everything fits together would be very helpful.

Thanks, Gary

Hey Gary L. Mullen-Schultz (@gamullen)

This repository will only deploy the 'data-landing-zone'. This is not be confused with a traditional landing zone.
This repository together with the 'data-management-zone' is part of the Cloud Scale Analytics part of the cloud adoption framework (https://aka.ms/caf-csa)

When deploying the management zone, it can be plugged into an existing 'hub/spoke' topology of platform subscriptions, as you mention.

You should be able to find how everything fits together on here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/scenarios/cloud-scale-analytics/architectures/overview-architectures

What this specific example deploys is listed in the prerequisites. https://github.com/Azure/data-landing-zone/blob/main/docs/DataManagementAnalytics-Prerequisites.md
