A cloud landing zone is the foundational multi-account cloud environment that establishes security, governance, networking, and compliance guardrails before any workload is deployed. For UAE enterprises navigating CBUAE, TRA, or DOH compliance requirements, getting your landing zone right from the start is critical to avoiding costly remediation later. This comprehensive guide covers landing zone design principles, architecture patterns, and implementation best practices for Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, and GCP in the GCC context.
