Standardized Architecture for NIST-based Assurance Frameworks on AWS: NIST Quick Start

This is official Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for the Quick Start for NIST-based frameworks. This Quick Start sets up a standardized AWS Cloud environment that helps support the following: NIST SP 800-53 (Rev. 4); NIST SP 800-171; FedRAMP TIC Overlay (pilot); DoD Cloud Computing SRG. The Quick Start automatically configures the AWS resources and deploys a multi-tier, Linux-based web application in a few simple steps. The security controls matrix shows how the Quick Start components map to NIST, TIC, and DoD Cloud SRG security requirements. AWS CloudFormation templates automate the deployment. The deployment guide provides step-by-step deployment and configuration instructions. The deployment guide is offered here as a free Kindle book, or you can read it online or in PDF format; see https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/compliance-nist/.
