CloudForge is an intelligent deployment agent that turns a conversational intake into a fully CAF-compliant Azure Landing Zone. No portal. No manual Bicep authoring. No weeks of senior architect time.
Three steps. No portal. No manual configuration. Every deployment is custom-generated from your intake — no two deployments are identical.
Answer guided questions about your organization, networking model, security requirements, compliance overlays, and cost preferences. Every component shows pricing before selection.
CloudForge generates custom Bicep AVM templates from your answers. A what-if analysis runs before any resource is created — you see exactly what will be deployed and at what cost.
Human approval at each checkpoint. Phased deployment with real-time validation. A complete deployment report with all resource IDs, endpoints, and outputs delivered at completion.
CloudForge deploys the full CAF stack — Platform LZ as the enterprise foundation, Application LZ with the Azure Integration Services workload, automatically peered and connected.
The enterprise foundation. Hub VNet with pre-allocated subnets, centralized Log Analytics, platform Managed Identity, and four Private DNS Zones linked and ready.
The Azure Integration Services workload layer. Spoke VNet peered to hub, APIM gateway, Service Bus, Key Vault with Private Endpoint, and App Insights wired to Platform LZ.
You receive the complete Bicep AVM codebase. Standard Microsoft format — readable, modifiable, and deployable by any Azure engineer using Azure CLI. No proprietary tooling required.
A complete deployment report delivered at completion — all resource IDs, endpoints, outputs, deployment timestamps, and CAF compliance status across all 8 design areas.
Every CloudForge deployment is validated against Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework. Compliance is generated from the intake — not reviewed after the fact.
