Innovation Sandbox on AWS

Streamline your development workflow with fully automated sandbox lifecycle management that provisions, monitors, and manages short-lived environments from creation through decommissioning. Through an intuitive web interface, users can easily request account leases and track usage and costs, while administrators maintain visibility and control across the entire sandbox ecosystem, eliminating manual overhead and ensuring consistent governance throughout the account lifecycle.

Reduce administrative overhead and accelerate cloud adoption by automatically applying standardized governance policies across all sandbox accounts. Eliminate weeks of manual configuration work while ensuring consistent security and compliance controls, freeing your team to focus on innovation rather than administration.

Deploy pre-configured environments instantly using Blueprints: reusable CloudFormation StackSets that automatically provision common resources in new sandbox accounts. Whether setting up training labs, deploying standard networking stacks, configuring data access patterns, or preparing AI/ML experimentation environments, Blueprints eliminate repetitive setup work and get users productive from the start.

Gain visibility into sandbox spending with cost tracking and automated budget enforcement. Configure budget limits and alerts to proactively manage costs. Notifications and spend-limiting mechanisms activate when usage approaches your defined thresholds, preventing budget overruns before they happen.

Automatically freeze accounts when they reach time or budget limits, preserving work while preventing additional spend. Frozen accounts can be easily reinstated to continue development, or ejected from the sandbox ecosystem to transition workloads into non-sandbox environments, providing a clear path from prototype to production-ready solutions.
