Avoid months building and testing your landing zone.
Cloud infrastructure
shouldn't
be so hard
Building a landing zone is often extremely expensive, complicated and requires
significant ongoing cost and expertise to configure, deploy, and maintain.
You need to configure a multi-account structure, set up identity and access
management, establish network architecture and security, configure compliance
guardrails, and more. Doing this from scratch is a massive effort that can take a team
of engineers months of work to get right.
And, let’s not forget that a
landing zone isn't a one-time project, it's a product you now own. Your team
is responsible for every AWS update, security patch, and service integration, forever.
Accelerate your Landing Zone setup withGruntwork
Gruntwork’s AWS Landing Zone is not a consulting service or a black-box package your team can’t maintain. We’ve taken the best practices behind AWS Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA), and combined them with IaC best practices and opinionated defaults.
The result is a multi-account AWS foundation delivered as OpenTofu/Terraform code you fully own, vended and updated through pull requests, working with the native AWS services you already use: AWS Organizations, AWS Control Tower, and IAM Identity Center. All for 80% less cost and effort than the average enterprise AWS Landing Zone deployment.
And you get 100% of the code to extend or customize as needed.
Key components
Everything as Code
Landing zone configuration, account vending, pipelines, and updates are all
version-controlled and reviewable via PRs.
Code Driven Account Vending
Create new, fully-configured AWS accounts (including baselines and guardrails)
through a pull-request workflow, ensuring every new account adheres to your
security and governance standards.
CI/CD for Infrastructure
An IaC pipeline for managing your landing zone as code, enabling you to test and
deploy changes to your infrastructure safely and reliably.
Multi-Account Organization
A best-practice AWS Organizations structure for infrastructure, security,
workloads, and more.
Identity & Access Management
Centralized identity with AWS IAM Identity Center (SSO), pre-configured IAM roles,
and permissions boundaries.
Network Security
A secure network architecture using Transit Gateway, VPCs, subnets, route tables,
ingress/egress, and shared services.
Security & Governance
Pre-configured Service Control Policies (SCPs) and guardrails to enforce security
policies across all accounts.
What setsGruntworkapart
An AWS landing zone is a well-architected, multi-account environment that applies security and governance best practices across your org.
Gruntwork brings these foundations into your Git workflow with an OpenTofu/Terraform-first approach, battle-tested module library, and pipelines that teams already understand, making the landing zone maintainable, reviewable, and evolvable as code.
Faster than DIY
80% cheaper than industry standard
Use battle tested patterns and practices to stand up a DevOps foundation in
days, not weeks or months, saving your team tens or hundreds of thousands in
upfront costs.
Maintainability
Our code is documented, versioned, modular and best of all, Gruntwork is
constantly maintaining and improving it. Upgrades are simple, just like any
other software library.
Ownership & Customization
You have full access to the code. You can customize everything, and
you're never locked in.
Ongoing cost savings
Allows for a smaller DevOps team to manage the entire environment, freeing up
valuable engineering resources.
Built for real DevOps teams
Technical documentation, expert support, and flexibility for engineers
— not buzzwords for sales and marketing.
Who Gruntwork is for
Enterprises — your existing AWS environment is inconsistent and hard to manage. You
need to refactor to a modern, well-architected standard to improve
security, reduce operational overhead, and accelerate innovation.Mid-Market & Scaleups — you're migrating to AWS or scaling your existing footprint. You
need to standardize your environment, enforce governance, and empower your
development teams to move quickly.Startups & SMBs — you need to get to market fast, but can't compromise on security
or compliance. You don't have the time or capital to hire a large
platform team or expensive consultants.
One
common interface,
three clouds
Managing a multi-cloud infrastructure? Gruntwork provides a common interface for
provisioning and managing landing zones on AWS, Azure, and GCP. The command surface, the
config schema, and the lifecycle operations (creating an account, updating baselines,
rolling out a policy change) are identical across all three clouds.
What
differs is what gets built underneath. Each cloud's landing zone is still
constructed the idiomatic way for that provider: AWS Organizations and Control Tower on
AWS, management groups and Azure Policy on Azure, folders and organization policies on
GCP. That distinction is an implementation detail behind the interface, not something
your team has to relearn cloud by cloud.
There is no UI, so it drops straight into whatever CI/CD pipeline already runs the
rest of your infrastructure. No separate console workflow to bolt on.
