Landing zone
Landing Zone
A Landing Zone is a military term referring to a designated area where aircraft can land, typically in the context of airborne operations. It can also refer to a pre-configured environment in cloud computing.
Military Context[edit | edit source]
In a military context, a landing zone is an area where aircraft, such as helicopters or transport planes, can land to offload troops, supplies, or vehicles. The selection of a landing zone is a critical aspect of military tactics, as it must be large enough for the aircraft to land safely, while also being defensible against enemy forces. The landing zone may be temporary or permanent, and its location is often kept secret to prevent enemy interference.
Cloud Computing Context[edit | edit source]
In the context of cloud computing, a landing zone refers to a pre-configured environment that is set up to facilitate the deployment of workloads in the cloud. This environment includes the necessary infrastructure, such as networks, security controls, and storage, as well as policies and procedures for managing cloud resources. A landing zone provides a secure and compliant foundation for organizations to start their cloud journey.
