Blog summary: AWS Landing Zones can be a difference-maker from day one. From cost control and scaling, to security and compliance, this secure, scalable, well-architected, and multi-tenant environment for developing code and running workloads delivers real business impact.
Your AWS Account Structure Will Make or Break Your Scale Ambitions
Even in the early days, startups needs to build environments that set them up for security, reliability, and compliance success as they scale. This is particularly true when considering your AWS account structure.
Landing Zone brings a robust, automated, rules-based approach to separating AWS accounts and environments to ensure software is developed and executed in a way that supports scaling over time. A single account model can seem to make sense at the beginning of your journey, but the short-term win can lead to long-term pain.
Here are four ways implementing an AWS Landing Zone can deliver real business benefits for your startup…
1. Prevent Costs from Getting Out of Control
An AWS Landing Zone offers you visibility and control over expenses, using multi-tenant architecture and automatic logging to allow you to set rules that help you keep costs in check and ensure that you only pay for what you use.
2. Efficiently achieve enterprise-grade security
Prevent data breaches by following best practices for identity and access management (IAM) with automated logging. Make changes safely in non-production environments in order to avoid causing problems within your product.
3. Scale infrastructure rapidly and securely
By letting you create both new accounts and new product development environments automatically, an AWS Landing Zone saves you valuable work time and lets you accelerate product development.
4. Automatically apply rules to ensure compliance
An AWS Landing Zone can be configured to ensure that your product development is conducted in line with the security frameworks that are most relevant for your specific startups, such as HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
