AWS architecture and landing zones
Establish a structured AWS foundation before workloads move into production. Landing-zone planning covers account organisation, identity, network topology, logging, security baselines, governance and cost visibility.

Compute and application hosting
Select compute patterns to match application requirements, from virtual servers to containers and event-driven services. Plan instance families, scaling, load balancing, operating systems and availability.
✧
Storage, databases and data services
Choose storage and database services based on performance, durability, access patterns, recovery and retention requirements. Design backup and lifecycle policies for business data.
✧
Networking and secure connectivity
Design VPCs, subnets, route tables, gateways, DNS, security groups and network ACLs. Connect offices and data centres using VPN or suitable private connectivity options.
✧
Identity, security and governance
Apply least privilege, multi-factor authentication, workload identity, encryption, key management, audit logging and continuous security posture review.
✧
Migration, resilience and optimisation
Assess workloads, plan migration waves, validate data, define recovery objectives and optimise resources after deployment. Use multi-AZ or multi-region patterns where justified.
