Enterprise cloud adoption enables scalability but can introduce security and compliance challenges from decentralized builders and disparate growth. Accenture’s Secure Cloud Foundation on AWS provides a well-defined, automated account provisioning process with guardrails to enable secure and streamlined self-service innovation across teams. It establishes robust cloud foundations to automate security and break organizational barriers for accountability and outcomes.

Infosys has crafted an automated self-service landing zone solution for AWS which employs AWS Control Tower to generate the customer’s organization unit structure and set up individual accounts. It uses the infrastructure as code tools from Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and Ansible for service configuration. The landing zone provides a pre-configured and secure environment, functioning as a springboard for organizations to manage their AWS resources effectively.

Many enterprises want to streamline identity management by introducing a single identity provider for their multi-cloud approach. In this post, we’ll cover the integration of single sign-on with Azure Active Directory in the context of AWS Control Tower. Learn how Devoteam A Cloud recently led a migration project where it presented a client with two options for integrating SAML 2.0 federation into their AWS Organization using Azure AD.

Many organizations decide to implement AWS Control Tower because it provides an easy way to set up and govern a secure, multi-account AWS environment called a landing zone. Mphasis Stelligent offers an AWS Control Tower-based landing zone quick start with modules for automating account access, observability, security suite enablement, deploying industry-specific guardrails, and multi-account networking. Once implemented, companies can provision secure accounts fully baselined for utilization in less than an hour.

We are excited to announce the new AWS Control Tower specialization for AWS Partners with AWS Control Tower service and software offerings. AWS Control Tower provides an easy way to set up and govern a secure, multi-account AWS environment—reducing complexity and time required to establish governance for multiple AWS accounts. Customers can now choose customized services and software solutions from AWS Partners that complement AWS Control Tower.

A well-architected multi-account AWS environment helps businesses use AWS to migrate, modernize, and innovate faster. Many customers currently using the self-managed AWS Landing Zone solution are looking to transition to AWS Control Tower to gain additional benefits. This post describes a strategic collaboration between Tech Mahindra, AWS, and a customer in Africa to transition from AWS Landing Zone to the AWS Control Tower environment.

As AWS Control Tower is adopted more and more, it’s important that AWS Consulting Partners within the AWS Solution Provider Program can leverage the multi-account benefits Control Tower offers. Learn how the Solution Provider Program is flexible in the types of customer models it allows. This flexibility serves the end customer’s business needs. However, AWS Partners must take care in how they architect AWS Organizations for their customers, which directly impacts the use of Control Tower.

Cost conscious credit unions looking to provide digital banking services need logical isolation from other tenants. Larger credit unions, on the other hand, require physical as well as logical isolation from other tenants. Persistent Systems Digital Credit Union Solution helps a credit union go live in a short time frame with digital banking offerings such as digital loans or digital deposits. The solution uses fine-grained microservices, deployed on Amazon EKS and provided as secure API’s using Amazon API Gateway.

As larger and more complex workloads are deployed on AWS, multi-account solutions are an increasingly common architectural blueprint. Often referred to as cloud “landing zones,” these blueprints enable simple administrative boundaries. However, using multiple accounts increases the complexity of security tooling, access control and authorization, and cross-account networking. AWS Control Tower simplifies the process of setting up multi-account environments with predefined security baseline templates.
