aws-landing-zone-setup is a skill for Claude Code from selvarajmurugesan90/ops-engineering-skills. It costs 104 tokens per session (2,715 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for building an AWS landing zone: the shared multi-account foundation for identity, networking, logging, account structure, and security rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize AWS Organizations and organizational units, create accounts with Control Tower or Account Factory, apply service-control policies, centralize logs, or review an existing setup for drift.
Why use it?
It prevents unmanaged account sprawl and gives teams a consistent boundary between environments such as sandboxes and production.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-landing-zone-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AWS Landing Zone Setup

Purpose

A landing zone is the multi-account foundation an organization builds once and every application team builds on top of afterward: account structure, identity, network, logging, and guardrails. Getting it wrong is expensive to unwind — teams end up with flat single-account sprawl, inconsistent tagging, no centralized audit trail, and no policy enforcement boundary between "sandbox" and "production." This skill defines a repeatable, Control-Tower-based AWS landing zone so new accounts are vended consistently, guardrails are enforced at the Organizational Unit (OU) level instead of per-account, and security/audit teams get a single pane of glass without blocking developer velocity.

When to use

  • Standing up AWS for a new organization or migrating off a single flat AWS account.
  • Designing the OU hierarchy and deciding which Service Control Policies (SCPs) apply where.
  • Onboarding a new business unit, environment, or acquired company into an existing AWS Organization.
  • Reviewing/auditing an existing landing zone for drift (e.g. accounts created outside Control Tower, missing guardrails, orphaned root-level IAM users).
  • Migrating from a hand-rolled multi-account setup to AWS Control Tower or Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA).

Prerequisites & environment

  • An AWS Organization already exists or you have rights to create one (organizations:CreateOrganization) from a dedicated Management Account that runs no workloads.
  • AWS CLI v2 and, if using infrastructure-as-code, Terraform ≥ 1.5 (for the aws provider ≥ 5.x) or the AWS Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) CDK toolchain.
  • Decide up front: Control Tower (AWS-managed, opinionated, fastest to start) vs. Landing Zone Accelerator (more customizable, config-as-code, used when you need FedRAMP/regulated-industry guardrails Control Tower doesn't ship out of the box) vs. fully custom Terraform (only for teams with deep multi-account IaC maturity already).
  • Enable AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS SSO) in the management account — Control Tower assumes it for federated human access.
  • A registered root/parent domain or subdomain delegation if you plan per-account Route 53 zones.
  • Budget for the mandatory Control Tower resources: a Log Archive account and an Audit account are created automatically and incur S3/CloudTrail/ Config costs even when idle.
