In today's age, platform teams are playing an increasingly critical role in the success of organizations. These teams are responsible for developing and maintaining the platforms that enable businesses to innovate, grow, and compete effectively. However, building a high-performing platform team is not easy.

If you don’t build your platform, it will build itself. Almost every organization has major parts of a platform already in place (think CI/CD, IaC, GitOps). The question is whether you keep your setup free-floating, or standardize it by building an enterprise-grade Internal Developer Platform (IDP).

There is a reason why traditional network-based segmentation solutions will not work in cloud-native environments, and that’s because they are not built for it! A Kubernetes-native approach is required to isolate containerized workloads within a deployment. Kubernetes is an open system with dynamic infrastructure; microsegmentation is the only way to isolate and protect workloads from threats that can move laterally.

When you're migrating and modernizing apps, how do you take full advantage of the cloud? By refactoring apps as a set of microservices, running for a short duration when needed, and deploying into a secure container infrastructure. Then they’re ready for production. For these scenarios, the Azure Container Apps Landing Zone Accelerator can help get you started with recommended practices to speed up your production process.
