Basic clarification on "corp" vs "online" and landing zone terminology

So I'm looking at this incredibly complex diagram from the landing zone documentation page located here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/landing-zone/

Under "Landing zones" they have "SAP", "Corp", and "Online." I don't get what "Corp" and "Online" are supposed to imply. Is "Corp" where you would deploy subscriptions and resources for applications that are used only internally or are not supposed to interface with the public aka internet? If so, does that mean that when I go to launch a product, that I would place it in the "Online" management group? That diagram is overwhelming and the sub-sections don't really help explain use-cases well. Anyway, a simple clarification on what "corp" and "online" are intended for would be welcome, and if I'm wrong that a released to the world product belongs in "online" then could someone please elucidate me as to which management group would make the most sense for it? Thanks!

    Hi Architekt,

    It is clearly defined in the section management group, basically deep down the links it list the specific info and what you can deploy under each Landing zones - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/landing-zone/design-area/resource-org-management-groups.

    For many organization, the default Corp and Online management groups provide an ideal starting point

    Also there is a Bicep File for this deployment and you can review - https://github.com/Azure/ALZ-Bicep/blob/main/infra-as-code/bicep/modules/managementGroups/managementGroups.bicep

    Hope this helps.
