1. Service overview

1.1 Service description

The landing zone consulting service provides cloud governance solution design and technical validation based on the Alibaba Cloud product ecosystem to support your cloud migration. This service helps you design solutions for resource management, financial management, identity management, network planning, security protection, compliance management, operations management, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation. The service guides you in setting up a secure, multi-account Alibaba Cloud environment more quickly by following Alibaba Cloud best practices.

The landing zone consulting service is available in five editions. You can purchase the edition that best suits your business needs. Note that any work or solutions not defined in this Statement of Work (SOW) are outside the project's scope of delivery.

Landing Zone consulting services:

  • Lightweight Edition:

    • Customizations primarily focus on the multi-account structure and do not include personalized security, compliance, network architecture, or operations and maintenance (O&M) automation design.

    • The Lightweight Edition has a shorter delivery cycle, typically around two weeks. It automatically implements a standard landing zone architecture, providing a cost-effective foundation for your cloud migration.

  • Basic Edition:

    • Basic consulting service: Designs a solution based on your needs, including resource management, identity management, network planning, and security protection.

    • Includes technical validation of the solution to ensure its feasibility.

    • Includes technical solutions for integrating with your self-built systems, such as single sign-on (SSO), Configuration Management Database (CMDB), IT Service Management (ITSM), and financial systems. This integration is based only on the standard capabilities of existing Alibaba Cloud products. Re-architecting, custom development, or configuration of your existing systems are not within the scope of this service.

  • Standard Edition:

    • Standard consulting service: Designs a solution based on your needs, including resource management, identity management, network planning, security protection, compliance audit, financial management, operations management, and IaC automation.

    • Includes technical validation of the solution to ensure its feasibility.

    • Includes technical solutions for integrating with your self-built systems, such as SSO, CMDB, ITSM, and financial systems. This integration is based only on the standard capabilities of existing Alibaba Cloud products. Re-architecting, custom development, or configuration of your existing systems are not within the scope of this service.

  • AI Edition:

    • In addition to the requirements of a standard landing zone, this edition adds support for AI capabilities. It includes the design and implementation of resource architecture, identity and permissions, networking, cost allocation, compliance audit, O&M, and security for scenarios that involve Alibaba Cloud Model Studio and PAI.

  • Implementation Service:

    • If you need the Alibaba Cloud team to perform the actual implementation, you can purchase the implementation service. The number of service packages to purchase is estimated based on the actual workload of the project.

    • The implementation service is responsible for deploying all designs from the project. However, it does not include configuration, modification, or testing on your self-built systems, other cloud platforms, or Software as a Service (SaaS) services. The scope is limited to Alibaba Cloud products.

    • This service package is primarily delivered remotely but can be adjusted based on project requirements and your specific situation.

    • For the Basic Edition service, we recommend purchasing at least one implementation service package. This can be adjusted based on the specific project.

    • For the Standard Edition service, we recommend purchasing at least two implementation service packages. This can be adjusted based on the specific project.

    • If you have additional integration needs or a project scope larger than the Standard Edition, we can discuss and adjust as needed.

2. Service scope

The service scopes are categorized by the five editions: Landing Zone Consulting Service Lightweight Edition, Landing Zone Consulting Service Basic Edition, Landing Zone Consulting Service Standard Edition, Landing Zone Consulting Service AI Edition, and Landing Zone Consulting Service Implementation Edition. The service scope for each edition is described in the following sections.

2.1 Scope of Landing Zone Consulting Service Lightweight Edition

  • Current state analysis:

    • Based on thorough pre-sales discussions and demos of the Lightweight Edition landing zone service, we gather all required input parameters for implementation. These parameters include your organization chart, resource group division, region requirements, security needs, and VPC network requirements, which are necessary for building the standard architecture.

  • Custom requirement confirmation:

    • Based on the results of the current state analysis, we confirm your custom requirements, primarily related to multi-account design and financial management.

  • Automated implementation:

    • Using the analysis inputs and custom requirements, we use automated tools to build the landing zone environment.

  • Demonstration and knowledge transfer (KT):

    • We demonstrate the landing zone environment built on the cloud and make initial fine-tuning adjustments based on your requirements. The workload for fine-tuning will not exceed two person-days.

    • We create a Landing Zone Lightweight Edition implementation manual and deliver it to you during a knowledge transfer (KT) session.
