# Azure Platform Designer

> - Recommend how many platforms to build and design their Azure topology: platform-count heuristic (thinnest viable platform, cognitive load, CAF platform teams), Radius environment ladder (simple / application-centric / enterprise by business unit x region x prod-nonprod), landing-zone design on Azure Verified Modules (subscription vending, foundation services, central Managed Grafana observability), and ADRs for every decision. Use for "how many platforms", environment topology, landing zone architecture, platform target-state design on Azure, or sizing a platform to an org.
