Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS

The Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS (LZA) is architected to align with AWS best practices and in conformance with multiple, global compliance frameworks. We recommend customers deploy AWS Control Tower as the foundational landing zone and enhance their landing zone capabilities with Landing Zone Accelerator. These complementary capabilities provides a comprehensive low-code solution across 35+ AWS services to manage and govern a multi-account environment built to support customers with highly-regulated workloads and complex compliance requirements. AWS Control Tower and Landing Zone Accelerator help you establish platform readiness with security, compliance, and operational capabilities.

Landing Zone Accelerator is provided as an open-source project that is built using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). You install directly into your environment to get full access to the infrastructure as code (IaC) solution. Through a simplified set of configuration files, you are able to configure additional functionality, controls and security services (eg. AWS Managed Config Rules, and AWS Security Hub), manage your foundational networking topology (eg. VPCs, Transit Gateways, and Network Firewall), and generate additional workload accounts using the AWS Control Tower Account Factory.

There are no additional charges or upfront commitments required to use Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS. You pay only for AWS services enabled in order to set up your platform and operate your controls. This solution can also support non-standard AWS partitions, including AWS GovCloud (US), and the US Secret and Top Secret regions.
