Introduction1:19
This is an Introductory lecture to let you know your instructor and course outline better.
Why do I need this Course ?1:49
In this lecture we would discuss the need of this course and the fact that mere cloud experience of 6+ months or a year is good enough for you to grasp the concept.

Common-ways-to-Manage-AWS-Account6:50
Explore why a landing zone is needed and compare single-account and multi-account strategies, then outline five models—account per environment per customer; VPC per environment; platform-based and legacy single-account approaches.
Environment-Management-Models-in-Depth12:29
this lecture surveys five environment-management models, starting with model five’s SaaS multi-tenant patterns and detailing model four’s single-account shared VPC and model two’s account-per-customer with per-environment VPC.
Multiple-AWS-Account-Management-Model8:01
Understand the account-per-environment-per-customer model for AWS landing zones, delivering strong isolation, blast-radius control, and clear cost and compliance separation, with automation at scale.

Challenges-of-Single-&-Multiple-AWS-Accounts9:06
Compare single-account and multi-account models, highlighting IAM, access, governance, visibility, cost, and blast radius challenges, and introduce AWS landing zone as the centralized solution.
What-does-Landing-Zone-Help-us-with6:21
Discover how the AWS landing zone secures a multi-account foundation with centralized identity, guardrails, centralized logging, transit gateway networking, automated provisioning, governance, and faster workload onboarding.

What is Landing Zone & Control Tower ? (The concept)5:23
Define landing zone as a scalable, secure, multi-account AWS environment enabled by control tower, service catalog, and IAM Identity Center for fast provisioning and centralized audit and log archival accounts.
What-is-Landing-Zone-(Old-Version)11:44
Landing-zone-New-version7:13
Discover the new landing zone version and how control tower builds a multi-account framework with account factory, service catalog, log archive, and audit accounts under AWS Organizations and Identity Center.
Features of Control Tower11:13
Explore the control tower features that enable a quick landing zone deployment, governance guardrails, automated account provisioning via the account factory, and a centralized dashboard for multi-account oversight and compliance.

Possible-ways-to-create-a-Landing-Zone15:24
Hint-Which-way-to-adopt-and-When3:59
Evaluate when to adopt AWS Control Tower for landing zone and when to use hybrid or custom approaches, with recommendations on accounts, migration, and future IAC integration.
Plan your Landing Zone using Control Tower (CT)4:39
In this lecture we would discuss over the prerequisites to set up a Landing Zone using Control Tower.

Demo-Create-AWS-Master-Account-for-Landing-Zone11:09
Create a free tier AWS master account for a landing zone setup, highlighting new UI changes, free vs paid tiers, credits, verification steps, and how to configure the default region.
Demo- Pre-requisite of Control Tower (CT)3:55
In this demo lecture we are going to cover pre-requisite to be fulfilled before creating a landing zone using Control Tower. We would create an IAM user with Admin rights which would be used to create the required landing zone.
Demo-Enable-IDentity-Center-in-Home-Region6:12
Enable the AWS Identity Center in the same home region as your control tower, create an Identity Center user, and review the AWS Organizations setup before launching control tower.
Demo-Create-Admin-user-using-Identitiy-Center-Edit-video7:08
Create an IAM identity center admin user with administrative and billing permission sets to launch a Control Tower landing zone, sign in, and prepare for MFA setup.
Demo-Grant-Access-to-Root-Account-for-Admin-user4:14
Grant IAM Identity Center admin access to the root account and configure control tower permissions to launch a landing zone with admin and billing permission sets.

Why use Control Tower (CT) - Part-116:09
Discover how AWS Control Tower accelerates multi-account landing zones with guardrails and self-service provisioning, balancing agility with governance through IAM Identity Center, Service Catalog, and centralized auditing.
Why use Control Tower (CT) - Part-210:05
Explore how AWS Control Tower delivers agile governance with automated landing zone provisioning, account factory self-service, service catalog guardrails, centralized identity management, and a comprehensive monitoring dashboard.
Demo-Create-Landing-Zone-using-Control-Tower.11:48
Launch and configure a complete AWS landing zone with Control Tower using the identity center admin user, enabling regions, OUs, and accounts like aggregator and CloudTrail.

Description

In this course we would implement an AWS Landing Zone using AWS Control Tower service. We would start with a discussion to understand the challenges in managing multiple AWS accounts and the proposed solution of landing zone to solve this problem.

We would learn the concepts of AWS Landing Zone & AWS Control Tower in depth and have a practical hands on to implement one of our own. We would also explore the concepts of AWS Organization, IAM Identity Center and go through several demos to understand its implementations.

Landing Zone is one of the primary steps in migration of On-premises environments to cloud. It is strongly recommended for intermediate or advanced level of engineers who work on cloud or are involved in migration projects.

For beginners with experience more that 6+ months to 1 yr, its good to know the upcoming technology or trend and stay a level ahead in competition.

The intention of this curriculum is not only to understand the AWS Landing Zone concept but also to have practical hands-on experience. Take time to build the labs as that is what will build the confidence before you take your next interview or go for the next opportunity.

Cheers to Champions.
Shyam Kukreja.

Who this course is for:

Cloud Enthusiasts.
Beginners with some knowledge of AWS services & 6+ months of hands-on experience.
Highly recommended for students with Intermediate & Advanced knowledge on AWS / Azure and looking for multiple accounts management solution.
Enterprises planning for Cloud migration strategy.
