What I do to a new AWS Account

When creating a new AWS Account, I typically do the following:

  1. Create the CloudTrail
  2. Create a Deploy Bucket
  3. Create Generic Alert topics for the account and subscribe my email and cell
  4. Create a stack to send certain cloudwatch events to a slack channel
  5. Configure requireMFA
  6. Configure Password & API Key Expiration Warning

All of these are done via automation of course
