Unleashing Landing Zone SaaS: streamlined cloud migration with CloudCatalyst

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, organizations are increasingly turning to cloud computing to scale their operations, enhance efficiency, and remain competitive. However, migrating to cloud comes with a set of challenges that require careful handling. Problems like data security, compatibility issues, and the lack of in-house expertise in cloud technologies can hinder the migration process.

Problems such as these are what Atos is uniquely capable of solving. Together with AWS, we have helped enterprises migrate thousands of workloads to the cloud. Recognizing the need for a standardized, low-friction cloud migration process, we have joined forces with AWS to create CloudCatalyst, a collaboration designed to help companies with large-scale infrastructure investments to accelerate mission-critical applications to the cloud.

Core to the CloudCatalyst offering is the new AWS Landing Zone Accelerator. By leveraging the new AWS Landing Zone Accelerator and Control Tower Technologies, Atos is able to help your organization get fully set-up on cloud. Atos’ innovative approach simplifies and accelerates the process of building a foundation or “bootstrapping” a well-architected, secure and compliant AWS environment – performing all the required setup work to go from zero cloud footprint to migrating the first of many customer workloads.

Data integrity and security are at the heart of the Atos offering. Rather than starting from scratch and potentially making mistakes, Atos leverages the AWS Landing Zone Accelerator to provide an environment that aligns with industry standards and security protocols.

For regulated environments and those in need of strong security focus, Atos follows the Service-Managed Standard: AWS Control Tower Implementation of AWS Foundational Security Standards with Controls embedded with AWS Control Tower.

Key features and components of Landing Zone include:

  1. Multi-account structure
    Landing Zone sets up a multi-account AWS environment using AWS organizations. This allows for the separation of duties, isolation of resources, and centralized management across multiple AWS accounts.
  2. Account baseline
    A set of default AWS accounts, such as a master account, a logging account, a security account, and shared services account. Each serves a specific purpose and follows best practices for security and compliance.
  3. Single Sign-On (SSO)
    Landing Zone integrates with AWS Single Sign-On (SSO), enabling users to access accounts using their corporate credentials.
  4. Centralized logging
    All account logs are centralized in the logging account, making it easier to monitor and audit activities across all accounts.
  5. Security and compliance
    Landing Zone sets up a security baseline across all accounts, including Config rules, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty for threat detection. Combined with AWS Security Hub, Landing Zone can be configured to support a variety of compliance controls and Sovereign requirements.
  6. Automation
    By automating the build of a regulatory compliant landing zone, the AWS Landing Zone Accelerator speeds up the customer’s time to value, reduces their cost to implement, facilitates use of security best practices, and focuses their resources on high-value opportunities for mass migration, next-generation serverless application development, and reinvention in cloud.
  7. Network design
    A network baseline with a pre-configured network architecture, across all AWS regions and availability zones, including Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) settings, subnets, gateways, and security groups.
  8. Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
    Landing Zone uses CloudFormation StackSets to deploy infrastructure resources and configurations across multiple accounts and regions. Depending on the level of customization required, this repeatable software-defined accelerator reduces the time to implement production-ready AWS Control Tower from months to days. Landing Zone also has ITSM integration, Patch management, Billing & Reporting, and DEVOPS embedded in its standard offering.
  9. Customizations
    While Landing Zone provides a default setup, Atos can also help you customize it to fit your specific requirements, without the need for code changes.
