📚 Structured Learning Roadmap

  1. Start with Simplilearn video to get comfortable with AWS basics.

  2. Read Getting Started + multi-account documentation to understand architecture.

  3. Follow the multi-account whitepaper (April 30 2025).

  4. Watch the multi-account setup video, then scaffold your accounts:

-   Root management account = company billing.

-   Create OUs like "CRM‑Trener", "StartupAppBuilder".

-   Under each OU, spin up dedicated member accounts.
  1. Implement AWS Control Tower to bootstrap accounts with security and guardrails fast.

  2. Adopt IaC with Terraform or CDK to define and version control infra for each product.

  3. Build production-ready setups using the Multi‑AZ EC2 tutorial.

  4. Layer in security applying IAM best practices and SCPs across accounts.

  5. Optimize: tagging, budgeting, CloudTrail, Config, and Well‑Architected assessments.


📘 Useful PDF/Downloads

  • Download the "Organizing Your AWS Environment" whitepaper (April 2025).

  • Grab AWS cheat‑sheets on IAM, SCPs, CloudFormation/Terraform.

  • Use AWS CDK and CloudFormation templates from GitHub repos referenced in guides.


✅ Next Steps

  • Confirm you have access to AWS business account and can enable AWS Organizations/Control Tower.

  • Choose your IaC: Terraform, CloudFormation or CDK (recommend CDK for devs or Terraform for simplicity).

  • Start provisioning sandbox accounts under each OU and deploy sample infra (e.g. VPC + EC2).

  • Iterate by adding network routing, database layers, backups, CI/CD pipelines.
