Story
Inside Heathrow Airport, platform operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Infrastructure and application teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Heathrow Airport uses Microsoft Fabric from Microsoft Azure as the working layer for cloud landing zones. Microsoft Azure is a public cloud platform for infrastructure, data, AI, and application services used by enterprises to host and modernize workloads. The practical change is simple: platform operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Heathrow Airport gets from Microsoft Azure is a durable place to run platform operations and a way for infrastructure and application teams to see the same cloud landing zones at the same time.
