AWS Cloud Practitioner: AWS Quickstarts and AWS Landing Zones

In this short series, I outline the notes that I took while preparing for the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam.

These are my personal notes that I have made while working through the A Cloud Guru exam practitioner course. They are in no way official notes from AWS.

I would advise you that if you do use my notes to help you revise for this exam, that you use them as a supplement to the most recent information in the White PapersExam Guide and go over your knowledge with practice exam papers.

AWS Quickstarts and AWS Landing Zones

Quickstarts

  • Quickstarts deploy environment solutions into a single AWS account quickly using CloudFormation templates
  • These solutions have been designed by AWS Solution Architects/experts in that technology to help you get started fast with that piece of technology.
  • Free to use the service but the resources that are provisioned are not

Landing Zones

  • Allows you to set up a secure, multi-account AWS environment (as opposed to using Quickstarts which is just for individual accounts)
  • Based on AWS best practices
  • Starts with four AWS Accounts:
    • AWS Organisation account

    • Log Archive account
    • Security account
