AWS Landing Zone
Paving the way for workloads in the cloud
As one of the leading AWS partners in the DACH region, we help our customers implement AWS services across a wide range of workloads and use cases.
With our cloud computing experts, we understand the challenges you face to efficiently provision and manage resources while maintaining security and compliance. To ensure the balance between performance and protection of your AWS infrastructure, we implement the landing zone concept for our customers.
AWS Landing Zone serves as a central point of control, providing a standardized and repeatable approach to setting up and managing multiple AWS accounts across your organization. The Landing Zone provides you with the necessary tools, security features, and best practices to accelerate your cloud migration, reduce operational overhead, and improve overall governance.
AWS Landing Zone Advantages
1. Accelerated Deployment
AWS Landing Zone provides predefined, best practice templates that accelerate the setup of your AWS environment, provide blanket consistency, and reduce manual configuration efforts. This saves you valuable time that you can invest in building and deploying workloads.
2. Improved Security
With built-in security controls and established processes, AWS Landing Zone helps you establish a secure foundation for your infrastructure. It includes identity and access management, network segmentation, data protection, and logging so you can meet regulatory requirements and ensure your protection against cyber-attacks and unauthorized access.
3. Central Governance
AWS Landing Zone provides a central hub for managing multiple AWS accounts, enabling you to enforce consistent policies and compliance across your AWS organization. You can configure and monitor resource usage, apply cost controls, and automate tasks to establish centralized governance and enable operational efficiencies across the enterprise.
4. Scalability and Agility
By leveraging the scalable architecture of AWS Landing Zone, you can quickly adapt to changing business requirements. You can provision new AWS accounts, establish network connections, and implement standardized security and compliance measures with ease, so you can quickly scale your infrastructure. This is a key competitive advantage, especially for near-term migrations and proof-of-concepts.
5. Cost Optimization
AWS Landing Zone helps you optimize costs by providing visibility into resource usage, cost allocation, and budget management across your AWS accounts. You can identify cost-saving opportunities, implement efficient resource allocation strategies, and effectively track expenses, resulting in improved cost control and optimized ROI.
6. Landing Zone with Control Tower
For the Landing Zone implementation, SVA relies on the AWS Control Tower to implement best practices:
- Multi-account setup (organization) within AWS, which is based on the Well-Architected framework, meets advanced security and compliance requirements, and leverages Bluesprints for IAM and account structures.
- Preventive safeguards through initial and ongoing implementation of centralized rules and controls within the AWS organization.
- Account Factory supports you in the automated creation of additional accounts within your organization, based on their defined templates in the Control Tower. This allows you to grant different parts of your organization access to AWS with their own accounts based on the central governance in Control Tower.
