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.
