Docs-first reference architecture and operating model for AWS foundations (Control Tower, Identity Center/SSO, org logging, guardrails, and baseline networking). Opinionated, designed to scale across many accounts and teams.
This repo describes target state, decisions, and operational workflows. It is not a full Terraform implementation of every component.
- Multi-account model (OUs, account archetypes, ownership)
- IAM Identity Center (SSO) model (groups, permission sets, break-glass)
- Centralized logging & audit baseline (org CloudTrail, retention, integrity checks)
- Guardrails baseline (SCP intent + rollout strategy)
- Networking reference (segmentation intent, TGW by default / Cloud WAN when required)
- Operating model (change workflows, exception process, health checks)
- Delivery phases (sequenced plan from discovery → handover)

See docs/adr for decision records (multi-account, Identity Center, TGW vs Cloud WAN).
- AWS Organizations is used (single org unless explicitly required otherwise)
- Identity Center is the default for interactive access
- Foundations changes are PR-reviewed and applied via IaC/pipelines (ClickOps only for bootstrap/emergencies)
