🚀 AWS Control Tower and Landing Zone🔐: Simplifying Multi-Account Management on AWS🛡️
- AWS Control Tower allows you to create and manage multiple AWS accounts in one central location while enforcing security and compliance.
- Multiple AWS accounts help manage workloads, monitor costs, and create security boundaries, but can quickly become a nightmare for organizations.
- AWS Control Tower sets up a baseline environment required for multi-account governance by creating a secure, scalable, and well-governed environment for account management.
- To set up a Landing Zone, administrators must configure three primary organizational units: Root, Security, and Sandbox.
- Policy management in AWS Organizations can be done through the use of Service Control Policies (SCPs), which give centralized control over account activities across OUs.
- IAM Identity Center is used by AWS Control Tower to help manage user access and create a centralized directory for account management.
- AWS Control Tower provides over 400 security and compliance controls across all accounts and allows users to choose which are mandatory, elective, or strongly recommended.
- The cost associated with AWS Control Tower lies in AWS services such as AWS Config, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty.
- Unmanaging an account in AWS Control Tower allows administrators to remove the account from the Landing Zone and applicable controls.
- AWS Control Tower is a powerful tool for companies trying to streamline and safeguard their multi-account AWS setups.
