Infrastructure

What questions does this answer?

• Where are our systems deployed in each environment?
• Which cloud providers and on-premise zones do we use?
• How does the infrastructure differ between production and lower environments?
• What is the multi-cloud strategy and how are workloads distributed?

Environment	Description	Zones
Production	Production hosts all live workloads across three infrastructure zones. BelFoot FC follows a multi-cloud strategy where each workload runs in the environment best suited to its latency, ecosystem, and regulatory requirements. This is a deliberate architectural decision driven by latency, ecosystem, and compliance considerations.	3
Acceptance	Acceptance mirrors production topology at reduced scale for final validation before release. All services run in a single Azure resource group with appropriately sized SKUs.	1
Test	Test provides isolated environments for integration and regression testing. Infrastructure matches acceptance but with minimal SKUs to keep costs low.	1
Development	Development uses shared, cost-optimized Azure infrastructure for daily development work. All services are consolidated into a single resource group with burstable and serverless SKUs.	1
