Architecture
The landing zone in depth: its accounts, its seven areas and how NGT builds it.
01
The landing zone NGT builds first
A multi-account landing zone, then every wave lands on it.
Accounts by purposeSecurity, log archive, network and shared services kept apart from product accounts.
One network hubTransit Gateway joins the data centre and every VPC; spokes never peer directly.
Guardrails on branchesService control policies and Config rules set on OUs, not account by account.
Logs nobody can changeAn organization trail into a separate log archive account.
