AWS Landing Zone is a solution provided by AWS that helps businesses quickly establish a secure, scalable, and well-managed multi-account environment on AWS. It is designed to streamline the setup of foundational services, security controls, and governance mechanisms, allowing small businesses to focus on innovation without worrying about the complexities of cloud infrastructure.
What's included
Design the Architecture
Decide on the organizational structure, including the number of AWS accounts (e.g., production, development, testing)
Setting Up an AWS Organization
create an AWS Organization
Enable Service Control Policies (SCPs)
Design Account Structure
Root Account: Hold ownership of the organization and restrict its usage.
Core Accounts: Set up essential accounts like:
Establish Networking and Security Baselines
Set Up Networking:
Design Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) with subnets (public/private) for each account.
Configure interconnectivity using AWS Transit Gateway or VPC peering.
Implement centralized DNS using Route 53 Resolver.
Configure Security Measures:
Enable AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and policies.
Set up a centralized logging solution with AWS CloudTrail and Amazon S3.
Enable AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, and Config for monitoring and compliance.
Configure encryption (e.g., AWS Key Management Service) for data at rest and in transit.
Automate Account Provisioning
Use AWS Control Tower:
Deploy preconfigured blueprints for new accounts.
Apply guardrails for security, compliance, and governance.
Alternatively, use AWS Service Catalog or custom scripts (e.g., AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK) to automate account creation.
Implement Identity and Access Management
Centralized User Management:
Integrate with AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO) for centralized access control.
Connect to external identity providers (e.g., Okta, Azure AD) if required.
Role-based Access Control (RBAC): Define roles and permissions tailored to team functions.
Configure Monitoring and Logging
Set up a centralized logging account:
Aggregate logs from all accounts to a central S3 bucket.
Use Amazon CloudWatch Logs and Logs Insights for operational monitoring.
Enable AWS Config:
Record resource configurations and monitor compliance.
Deploy AWS CloudTrail for audit trails.
Implement Cost Management
Set up AWS Budgets:
Define budget thresholds for accounts or organizational units.
Enable alerts for overspending.
Use Cost Explorer to track and analyze spending patterns.
Apply Security and Compliance Guardrails
Define Service Control Policies (SCPs):
Restrict actions that do not align with governance rules.
Enable AWS Config Rules to enforce compliance.
Leverage AWS Audit Manager to streamline regulatory audits.
Set Up Shared Resources and Services
Deploy shared infrastructure in a dedicated account:
Shared VPCs, DNS, directory services, and CI/CD pipelines.
Configure permissions for cross-account access.
