Organisations deploying multi-account AWS environments struggle with slow, error-prone manual infrastructure deployments that take 45-90 minutes per cycle. This talk shows how to extend AWS Landing Zone Accelerator with automated CI/CD pipelines supporting both Terraform and CloudFormation, delivering rapid cross-account deployments with built-in security scanning, validation, and governance controls. You'll learn how a hub-and-spoke architecture centralises pipeline operations, implements least-privilege IAM, and maintains compliance through automated tooling. Based on a published AWS Developer Blog post and open-source solution deployed in UK Public Sector environments.
