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.
