Service Overview

Cloud Control service is a managed service that supports building, operating, and managing a multi‑account environment easily and securely on the Samsung Cloud Platform.
The Cloud Control service automates an organization’s cloud governance (security, compliance, standardization, etc.) and provides consistent, centralized account and resource management based on Samsung Cloud Platform best practices.

Features

The Cloud Control service offers the following advantages.

  • Landing Zone (Landing Zone) Automatic Provisioning: Automatically configure essential infrastructure such as Samsung Cloud Platform accounts, organizational units (OU), guardrails, logging, etc. * In a standardized environment, you can create new accounts and invite existing accounts.
  • Centralized governance and policy enforcement: Automatically apply security, compliance, and operational policies (guardrails) across the entire organization. * Provides policy violation detection and monitoring capabilities.
  • Multi-Region and Scalability: You can apply the same governance and policies across multiple Samsung Cloud Platform regions.

Component

Landing Zone (Landing Zone)

The basic architecture of a standardized Samsung Cloud Platform environment, including governance, security, networking, and logging, is as follows.

CategoryDetailed description
admin account
  • Organization and account structure management, policy (SCP) implementation, automation of new account creation
  • Organization-wide highest privileges, governance-focused operation
Log account
  • Centralized collection and storage of all account logs, log integrity, and long‑term retention
  • Independent account operation, strict access control, and encryption
audit account
  • Enterprise-wide security and compliance monitoring and auditing, automated security assessments
  • Apply the principle of least privilege, cross-account role delegation

Guardrails

The guardrails that are automatically applied for policy violation detection and prevention (detect/prevent type) rules, and security/compliance standards are as follows.

CategoryDetailed description
Preventive GuardrailPreemptive blocking role to prevent policy violations
  • Implementation: Using Access Control Policy(ACP) to prohibit or limit the scope of actions for specific Samsung Cloud Platform services
  • Example:
    • Prohibit creation of root user access keys
    • Block resource creation in specific regions
    • Block public read/write on S3 buckets
  • Features: Fundamentally prevent the violation act itself, preemptively blocking policy violations
Detection GuardrailContinuously monitor for policy violations or abnormal configurations, and provide alerts when violations occur
  • Implementation: Based on the Samsung Cloud Platform Config Inspection checklist, evaluate resource status and notify via dashboard or alerts when violations are detected
  • Example:
    • Detection of unencrypted S3 bucket
    • Detection of disabled CloudTrail
    • Detection of EBS volume encryption status
  • Features: Detect violating resources in real time and deliver them to the administrator

Baseline (Baseline)

The essential resources and configuration sets, such as security, logging, and networking, that are automatically deployed per account are as follows.

CategoryDetailed description
AuditBaseline
  • Configure security and audit roles and policies on the central audit account
  • Check the security status and compliance status of all accounts centrally
LogArchiveBaseline
  • Aggregate log Trail of all accounts into a central bucket
  • Used for log integrity, long-term storage, and audit tracing
IDCenterBaseline
  • Automatic resource provisioning integrated with ID Center
  • Unified user/group/role management within the organization
