Landing zone
A landing zone is the foundation of an AWS estate: the accounts, the network, the security controls and the capacity that every workload uses. Scroll to take the platform apart. Each layer answers one question your board will ask.

Who owns what?
Every team, environment and project gets its own AWS account. Each account inherits the same guardrails, central logging and single sign-on on the day it is created. Cost is visible per team, and a mistake in one account cannot reach another.
How does traffic move?
One hub connects every environment and your offices. Internet traffic leaves through a single inspected path, and internal traffic never crosses the public internet. Growth adds a spoke to the hub, not a redesign.
What is allowed in?
Each tier accepts traffic only from the tier in front of it. Web traffic is filtered before it reaches your applications, threats are detected across every account, and secrets are stored outside the code. Evidence for audits is collected continuously.
What runs, and how does it scale?
Capacity follows demand. Servers scale out at peak and back at night. Part of the fleet runs on spare capacity at a fraction of the price, and functions run only when events arrive. You pay for what the business uses.
Overview
We set up each layer with your team, migrate your workloads into it, hand over the code and the documentation, and optimize the estate as it grows.
Setup and migration
Three stages, each with a written result and an acceptance test your team signs off. We can execute every stage, or your team executes with our review.
We read the current accounts, networks, identities and workloads with read-only access, and we interview the teams that own them. You receive the findings and the target account structure.
We agree the four layers, the order in which workloads move, the rollback plan for each move, the scope and the price. Setting the scope and the contract takes one to two working days.
The landing zone is built as code. Workloads move one environment at a time, each with a test before the cutover. You receive the Terraform code, the documentation and a handover session.
