Explore the Sovereign guardrails and guidance
Sovereign guardrails and guidance help you create compliant environments that support sovereignty, privacy, and regulatory requirements. It provides you with access to codified architecture, workload templates, localized Azure Policy initiatives, tooling, and guidance. It also includes Sovereign Landing Zones (SLZ), extra runtime policies, and more, which you can customize by country and maintain over time. Best-in-class policy and automation govern this spectrum of technologies to help you simplify and orchestrate sovereign controls for government workloads.
The following sections provide an overview of the sovereign guardrails and guidance in Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty.
Access compliant sovereign architectures
You can access codified architectures, workload templates, and tools to help create compliant architectures. For more information, see Deploy and configure a Sovereign Landing Zone.
Implement infrastructure as code
You can implement consistent configurations and controls by using repeatable infrastructure that supports digital sovereignty best practices. For more information, see Overview of the Sovereign Landing Zone.
Configure sovereign landing zone
A Sovereign Landing Zone (SLZ) is a type of Azure landing zone for organizations that need government-regulated privacy, security, and sovereign controls. These organizations can use landing zones as a repeatable best practice for more secure and consistent development and deployment of cloud services. Because many organizations face a complex and layered regulatory landscape, using sovereign landing zones helps make it easier for them to design, develop, deploy, and audit solutions while enforcing compliance with defined policies.
You can simplify the creation and deployment of advanced sovereign controls and help meet data compliance with the Sovereign Landing Zone. For more information, see Sovereign Landing Zone concepts.
Use workload templates
Ready-to-use workload templates are available to help you accelerate time-to-value while achieving your compliance goals. For more information, see Workload templates for Sovereign Landing Zone.
