When platform architecture needs attention
- Accounts and OU structures that block governance
- Workloads migrated without Well-Architected controls
- EKS platforms that are hard to operate securely
- Inconsistent IAM, logging, and backup posture
- Cost growth without ownership or tagging discipline
How we work on this platform
- AWS landing zone and Control Tower design
- EKS and container platform architecture
- Migration factory and modernization roadmaps
- Security baselines, IAM, and observability design
- Terraform and GitOps delivery patterns
- FinOps reviews for high-spend AWS estates
The architecture in context
Conceptual architecture illustrating decision boundaries. It does not represent a client environment.
Accounts and Control Tower
A typical AWS landing zone includes account structure, identity federation, logging, networking, security baselines and guardrails so workloads can be deployed consistently across environments.
We use the Well-Architected pillars as a practical risk lens — operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization and sustainability — then turn findings into work the platform team can sequence.
EKS and delivery
EKS is designed as a reusable platform, not a one-off cluster: identity, networking, GitOps and day-2 operations match the Kubernetes page on this site.
Terraform and GitOps are the same delivery pattern Cloud Launchpad already describes for automated composition on AWS.
Technology decisions in context
- Amazon Web Services
- AWS Control Tower
- Amazon EKS
- AWS IAM
- Terraform
- Amazon CloudWatch
- AWS Organizations
What the work is intended to enable
- A governable multi-account AWS foundation
- Clearer security and identity boundaries
- More repeatable workload deployment patterns
- Improved operational and cost visibility
A platform choice is an operating choice
We agree workload acceptance criteria, access ownership, change practices and recovery responsibilities before implementation. Provider services do not remove the need for application testing, cost accountability and an operating team.
Questions and answers
What does an AWS landing zone include?
A typical AWS landing zone includes account structure, identity federation, logging, networking, security baselines, and guardrails so workloads can be deployed consistently across environments.
#How does Cloud Architects approach AWS Well-Architected reviews?
We use the Well-Architected pillars as a practical risk lens—operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability—then translate findings into prioritized remediation work.
#Do you operate the AWS platform after go-live?
Yes, as platform operations for the landing zone and EKS — not as managed IT. Helpdesk and workplace support sit with Podium Catchers.
#Where is Cloud Launchpad documented?
On this site, at /products/cloud-launchpad/. That is the product page for automated landing-zone deployment.
