AWS Account & Access Setup
A checklist-style guide for setting up a production-grade AWS account with proper access controls, SSO, and governance policies.
Why This Matters
A well-configured AWS account is the foundation for everything else. Mistakes here — overly permissive IAM policies, no MFA enforcement, public S3 buckets — create security gaps that are hard to fix later.
