AWS Landing Zone Foundation

Organisations frequently underestimate the complexity required to architect a secure, multi-account AWS environment from scratch. This manual "undifferentiated heavy lifting" often consumes months of engineering time, delaying application migration and creating technical debt before a single workload is deployed. The Landing Zone Foundation by Steamhaus eliminates this friction by deploying a pre-architected, battle-tested framework. This allows your team to bypass the foundational build phase and immediately adopt an enterprise-grade posture that is ready for scale.

We handle the critical "plumbing" that underpins a robust cloud estate. This includes the orchestration of AWS Control Tower, complex networking topologies via AWS Transit Gateway, and centralised identity management through AWS IAM Identity Center. We integrate comprehensive security services such as AWS Security Hub and Amazon GuardDuty to ensure continuous compliance. Furthermore, our approach prioritises "Day 2" operations. We do not simply build the environment. We implement specific guardrails and FinOps logic that allow you to manage cost and security effectively as you scale. This ensures your infrastructure remains performant and cost-optimised long after the initial deployment.

Key outcomes

This solution provides a standardised tooling baseline to rapid-start your cloud infrastructure initiative, unlocking benefits such as:

• Accelerated Time-to-Value: Deploy a fully compliant, multi-account architecture in days rather than months. This speed allows engineering teams to focus purely on application innovation and migration rather than infrastructure scaffolding.

• Enhanced Security Posture: Benefit from automated guardrails and centralised logging. We implement strict isolation between workloads to limit blast radius and ensure data sovereignty in line with industry compliance standards.

• Operational Scalability: Leverage a modular architecture designed for growth. Whether you are adding new business units or integrating acquisitions, the landing zone expands without requiring a fundamental re-architecture.

• FinOps Readiness: Gain immediate visibility into cost allocation. We structure account hierarchies and tagging strategies to ensure financial transparency and accountability across the organisation.
