Netcloud
Managed Cloud Foundation

A production-ready Azure foundation — deployed in days, not months. 100% Infrastructure as Code. Operated by Netcloud.

Built-in Security

Defender, AMA, and Azure Policy enforced from day one.

Consistent Governance

Identical config across every subscription, every time.

Fast Onboarding

New workloads go live in hours, not weeks.

What is NCF?

6 Core Pillars

NCF structures your Azure environment across six foundational pillars — each configured consistently as code, managed by Netcloud.

Identity

Entra ID, RBAC roles, conditional access

Networking

Hub-spoke topology, firewall, peering

Governance

Azure Policy, management groups, tagging

Security

Defender for Cloud, threat protection

Monitoring

Log Analytics, AMA, alerts, dashboards

Subscriptions

Landing zones, vending, lifecycle

NCF Components

What NCF Delivers

Five pre-built, fully automated components form the backbone of every NCF deployment — consistent, secure, and ready on day one.

Subscriptions

Management Groups
& Subscriptions

  • Hierarchical structure: Root → Platform → Landing Zones
  • Subscription vending for fast workload onboarding
  • Policy inheritance enforced at group level
  • Budget alerts per subscription
Networking

Hub-Spoke
Network

  • Central hub with Azure Firewall or NVA
  • Spoke VNets peered per workload
  • Forced tunneling & UDR for egress control
  • Private DNS zones for all PaaS services
Identity

Entra ID
& RBAC

  • Least-privilege custom roles per workload tier
  • PIM (Privileged Identity Management) enabled
  • Conditional access policies enforced
  • Service principals via managed identities only
Security

Defender for Cloud + AMA

  • Microsoft Defender enabled on all subscriptions
  • Azure Monitor Agent on all VMs via Policy
  • Secure Score baseline tracked continuously
  • Security alerts forwarded to SIEM/Sentinel
Governance

Azure Policy
& Blueprints

  • 200+ policies covering CIS, ISO 27001, DSGVO
  • DeployIfNotExists: auto-remediate non-compliant resources
  • Required tags enforced — cost allocation ready
  • Deny unapproved regions, SKUs, and services
Infrastructure as Code

Why NCF runs on Terraform

NCF is 100% Infrastructure as Code. Every resource, every policy, every role assignment — defined in Terraform, reviewed in Git, deployed by CI/CD.

What is Infrastructure as Code?

IaC means your entire cloud environment is described in files — just like application code. Instead of clicking through the Azure Portal, you write declarative config that tools like Terraform read and apply automatically.

Every change goes through code review → pipeline → deploy. Nothing is created manually. Everything is auditable, repeatable, and rollback-able.

Idempotent deploys

Run the pipeline 100 times — the result is always the same.

Full audit trail in Git

Every change has an author, PR review, and timestamp.

Modular & reusable

NCF modules are reused across every customer — tested and proven.

Easy rollback

Revert a PR → CI/CD restores the previous state automatically.

Without IaC (manual portal)
With NCF (IaC)
Configuration drift — every environment different
Identical every time — guaranteed by code
No history of who changed what or when
Full Git history: who, what, when, why
Onboarding takes weeks of manual work
New subscription ready in under 1 hour
Hard to audit for compliance reviews
Compliance as code — always audit-ready
Rollback means clicking through portal
Rollback is a git revert + pipeline run
Errors are hard to reproduce or debug
Reproducible deploys — same result every run
Documentation gets stale immediately
Code IS the documentation
How It Works

NCF Deployment Pipeline

From design to live Azure environment in 5 automated steps — every change traceable, every deployment consistent.

01

Design

Architecture, policies, and network topology agreed with customer.

02

Code (Terraform)

All resources defined in Terraform modules. No portal clicks.

03

Pull Request

PR submitted, reviewed, and terraform plan output validated.

04

CI/CD Pipeline

Merge triggers automated terraform apply via GitHub Actions.

05

Azure

Resources provisioned in Azure. State saved. Done.

Every deployment is tracked in Git

Full history, PR reviews, rollback in seconds — your infrastructure runs like software.

Key Benefits

Why customers choose NCF

NCF isn't just an Azure setup — it's a managed, continuously maintained foundation that lets your team focus on building, not managing infrastructure.

Faster Onboarding

New workloads deployed in hours. Landing zones ready on demand via automation.

<1h

vs. weeks manually

Consistent Governance

Identical configuration across every subscription. No drift. No exceptions.

100%

policy compliant

Built-in Security

Defender, Sentinel, and zero-trust network controls active from day one.

Day 1

security baseline

Cost Control

Budget alerts, tagging policy, and approved-SKU guardrails keep spend predictable.

0

surprise bills

Infinitely Scalable

Add a new business unit or region by running a pipeline. No rework, no sprawl.
