Azure Landing Zones and Azure Government
Mentat Azure services cover landing-zone design, policy and identity, network segmentation, and Azure Government delivery with the same automation used on published CJIS and migration programs.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Azure landing zone in Mentat’s delivery model?
A landing zone is the subscription hierarchy, identity, network, logging, and policy baseline that every workload inherits. Mentat builds it as code—typically with Terraform and the pipeline you already run—so the design and the running environment stay the same thing after go-live.
When does Mentat use Azure Government instead of commercial Azure?
When residency, CJIS, or other government constraints require it. The automation pattern stays the same: segmented networks, policy as code, and repeatable pipelines. The cloud boundary and compliance evidence change. See https://www.mentat.cloud/case-studies/azure-government-cjis.
What Azure Government CJIS outcomes has Mentat published?
On a published Azure Government CJIS program, Mentat designed and managed a large-scale environment with zero-trust networking, CJIS-aligned controls, ExpressRoute connectivity, and automated workflows that reduced deployment execution to about 10 minutes, with zero downtime while migrating dozens of applications. Details: https://www.mentat.cloud/case-studies/azure-government-cjis.
How fast were deployments on Mentat’s published Azure Government estate?
On that CJIS-aligned Azure Government program, automated provisioning and orchestration cut deployment execution to roughly 10 minutes instead of slower manual infrastructure processes. That figure is a published case-study outcome, not a universal SLA. Read the write-up before treating it as a forecast.
What happened on Mentat’s 100,000-user government automation program?
Mentat built a secure automation platform for provisioning and configuration serving more than 100,000 users. Published results include deployment processes reduced to minutes, configuration jobs automated into 5–20 minute runs, and daily outages reduced to monthly occurrences. Details: https://www.mentat.cloud/case-studies/government-automation-100k-users.
What did Mentat’s 800-plus VM government migration deliver?
Mentat migrated more than 800 virtual machines from aging end-of-life hardware into an automated, orchestrated Azure Government environment under stringent compliance pressure. Published outcomes include zero data corruption, minimal application downtime, owner-approved application validation, and policy-driven controls in the target environment. Details: https://www.mentat.cloud/case-studies/secure-vm-migration-800.
What does Mentat actually put in an Azure or Azure Government landing zone?
Identity and management-group design, Azure Policy guardrails, hub-and-spoke or virtual WAN networking that fails closed, private connectivity where required, logging and audit baselines, and infrastructure-as-code pipelines so environments can be rebuilt the same way they were designed—including the zero-trust VNet and ExpressRoute patterns used on published Azure Government programs.
Where can I read the Azure Government case studies Mentat cites?
Start with Azure Government CJIS at https://www.mentat.cloud/case-studies/azure-government-cjis, then the 100,000-user automation program at https://www.mentat.cloud/case-studies/government-automation-100k-users, and the 800-plus VM secure migration at https://www.mentat.cloud/case-studies/secure-vm-migration-800. Metrics on the Azure lander are taken from those write-ups.
