INTELLIGENT AZURE GOVERNANCE PLATFORM

Abstract


The Intelligent Azure Landing Zone Governance Platform is a centralized cloud governance solution designed to simplify and standardize the management of Azure environments. It enables users to create landing zone requests and evaluate security, access permissions, compliance policies, monitoring requirements, resource configurations, and estimated costs before deployment. The system generates governance scores, health scores, risk levels, deployment readiness, and recommendations to help identify potential issues and improve cloud environment security. By integrating Azure Bicep and Azure CLI, the platform supports standardized infrastructure planning and deployment when the required Azure subscription and permissions are available. Developed using React, Node.js, Express.js, and SQLite, the platform also provides request history, resource inventory, dashboard visualization, and report generation. By combining governance assessment, security evaluation, cost estimation, and deployment planning in a single interface, the system aims to reduce manual effort, improve configuration consistency, and support secure, efficient, and reliable Azure resource management.
