+# Syslog AWS Setup Checklist
+
+## Phase 1: Account Creation & Hardening
+- [ ] Create AWS Account: Sign up at [AWS Console](https://aws.amazon.com/) using `jerome@sysloggh.com`.
+- [ ] Root Security:
+  - [ ] Set a strong, unique password.
+  - [ ] Enable MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) on the root account immediately.
+  - [ ] Configure `billing_alert_email` as `jerome@sysloggh.com` for account alerts.
+
+## Phase 2: Administrative Access
+- [ ] IAM Setup: Create an IAM user (e.g., `syslog-admin`) with `AdministratorAccess`.
+- [ ] CLI Access: Download and store the Access Key / Secret Key for this `syslog-admin` user.
+
+## Phase 3: Local Environment Setup
+- [ ] Configure Profile: Run your local machine configuration:
+    ```bash
+    aws configure --profile syslog-business
+    ```
+- [ ] Verify: Confirm connectivity:
+    ```bash
+    aws sts get-caller-identity --profile syslog-business
+    ```
+
+## Phase 4: Infrastructure Automation (Terraform)
+- [ ] Initialize Terraform:
+    - `cd ~/syslogsolution/infrastructure/aws-org/`
+    - `terraform init`
+- [ ] Configure Variables:
+    - `cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars`
+    - Edit `terraform.tfvars` with your business details.
+- [ ] Deploy: 
+    - `terraform plan`
+    - `terraform apply`
+
+## Phase 5: Post-Deployment
+- [ ] Accept Invites: Check `dev` (`jerome+dev@sysloggh.com`) and `staging` (`jerome+staging@sysloggh.com`) email inboxes for AWS invitations and accept them.
+- [ ] Identity Center/SSO: Configure IAM Identity Center in the AWS console.
