A Well Architected Landing Zone

Our guest speaker, Drew Khoury (https://www.drewkhoury.com), will cover the basics of what an AWS Landing Zone (LZ) is and why we need them. We’ll review the best practices around building your own LZ, including approaches for value-focused LZs. I’ll share my lessons learned after years of building LZ’s in AWS, and dive into Cloud Guard rails that set you up for success (Automation, Self-Service, BreakGlass and more).
