Executive Summary
Luxia, an AI-driven no-code automation platform, wanted to scale its GenAI-powered services globally with better governance, security, and efficiency on AWS.
GoCloud implemented AWS Control Tower to modernize Luxia’s infrastructure, enabling secure multi-account management, compliance guardrails, and rapid provisioning of environments. To strengthen compliance and visibility, GoCloud also deployed AWS Config across all accounts and regions, providing continuous monitoring of resource configurations, centralized tracking of changes, and automated detection of security risks.

Shared resources → operational bottlenecks
Broad IAM permissions → security risks
Migration risks → separating workloads could disrupt services
Limited visibility into configuration changes → hard to track resource drift and enforce compliance

AWS Config Integration:
- Enable AWS Config in All Accounts and Regions
Luxia turns on AWS Config in every account and every AWS region. This gives complete visibility and supports compliance checks across the environment. - Record All Resource Types
AWS Config records changes for all resource types in Luxia. This includes EC2, RDS, IAM, and other supported services. Nothing is left out. - Record Global Resources in One Region
For Luxia, global resources like IAM are recorded in only one region. This prevents duplicate entries and keeps reporting simple. - Use Secure S3 Bucket in Log Archive Account
The Log Archive account has a secure S3 bucket for Luxia. It stores AWS Config history files and snapshots. The bucket is encrypted, access controlled, and logging is enabled for extra security.
Send Data to Central S3 Bucket Across Accounts
Dev, Staging, and Production accounts of Luxia send their AWS Config history and snapshots to the Log Archive S3 bucket. This creates one central place for all configuration data, making it easy to manage and ready for audits.
