Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday

The concept
Production-ready AWS Landing Zone built with Terraform in 2 days using Kiro + AWS Experience Based Acceleration (EBA).
Why it matters
Landing zones traditionally take months. 2 days is order-of-magnitude different — it changes what's possible in a quarter.
The hard parts
2 days is achievable with EBA's pre-baked patterns. Custom requirements still take time; don't believe blanket numbers.
Playbook moves
(1) Match your needs to EBA patterns. (2) Customise minimally. (3) If you can't fit EBA, the landing zone is going to take months — plan accordingly.
The surprise
The bigger story isn't speed — it's *reproducibility*. A 2-day landing zone you can rebuild in 2 days is more valuable than a 6-month landing zone you can't. Reproducibility unlocks DR scenarios that previously sat in the "we'll figure it out" pile. ---
