€47 one-time · Delivered by email · Future updates included · Refundable within 14 days
A production-grade Day 1 AWS foundation — as Terraform. Reproducible, opinionated, and written by someone who ships this for clients.
- Terraform files (root + modules)
- IAM admin user + MFA guidance
- AWS Budgets with sane thresholds
- CloudWatch billing alarm
- SNS billing email topic
- Human README + printable checklist
- Free future updates
The mistakes made in the first hour of an AWS account are the ones you pay for later.
Leaked root keys don't fail politely — they mine crypto until the card declines. Missing MFA doesn't announce itself — it becomes a paragraph in a breach post-mortem. No budget alarm doesn't just cost money — it kills a runway. Day 1 is when this stuff is cheap to fix. Day 90, it's a project.
Root user rotated, MFA'd, and set aside. Day-to-day work happens as a proper IAM admin — the way AWS itself recommends.
Budgets + CloudWatch alarm + SNS email means you know at $50, not $5,000. Alerts land in an inbox you actually check.
Everything as code. Blow it away, rebuild it, hand it to a teammate, apply it to the next account — it just works.
Built for the person who cannot afford to eyeball their way through AWS.
You know how to code. You want a senior-shaped opinion on how a real account gets set up — not another 90-minute YouTube video that skips the security parts.
See if it fits →You're standing up AWS for your business. A leaked key or a runaway bill would be a very bad month. This is the boring, non-negotiable checklist — made concrete.
See if it fits →You need real Terraform and AWS on your CV, not another tutorial project. Apply this in a sandbox account, keep the code, and speak to every choice in interviews.
See if it fits →Everything you need to declare Day 1 done.

The kit is the DIY path. If you'd prefer a 90-minute working session where I run the setup with you — or a review of an existing AWS account before launch — a small consulting window is opening shortly.
