description	Design a multi-account AWS landing zone: separate accounts by blast radius (prod/non-prod/security/shared-services) under Organizations, SCP guardrails as ceilings, region/AZ resilience, and the Control-Tower-or-not decision.

AWS Account Strategy

Separate prod / non-prod / security / shared-services accounts under Organizations. One account = one blast radius + an unattributable bill.

SCPs set the org-wide ceiling (even an admin can't exceed them). Control Tower if you want the landing zone + guardrails managed.

Multi-AZ by default (cheap HA); multi-region only when RTO/RPO/latency justifies it. State the RTO/RPO.

The topology is the design; terraform-iac builds it.
