AWS Practice - AWS Control Tower Practice

AWS Control Tower helps customers set up and govern a secure, multi-account AWS environment. It offers a simplified way to establish and manage a well-architected multi-account structure based on AWS best practices.

AWS Control Tower provides a set of predefined rules, known as guardrails, which are designed to enforce security, compliance, and operational policies across all the AWS accounts within an organization. These guardrails help ensure that accounts are configured correctly and adhere to organizational policies and industry standards.

Key features of AWS Control Tower include:

    • Account provisioning: Control Tower helps create new AWS accounts using a standardized account creation process. It automates the setup of core accounts and resources, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, logging, and security services.
    • Account baseline configuration: Control Tower applies foundational configurations and best practices to newly provisioned accounts. This includes enabling AWS Single Sign-On (SSO), setting up security services like AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config, and configuring logging and monitoring.
    • Guardrails: Control Tower uses AWS Organizations and service control policies (SCPs) to enforce a set of predefined guardrails across all accounts. These guardrails define the desired account configurations and help prevent non-compliant actions.
    • Account lifecycle management: Control Tower helps manage the lifecycle of AWS accounts, including ongoing maintenance, updates, and decommissioning. It provides a centralized console to view and manage accounts, simplifying the account management process.
    • Account customization: Control Tower allows customers to customize the account provisioning process by defining their own account-level configurations, such as additional IAM roles, policies, and networking settings.

By using AWS Control Tower, you can establish a secure and well-governed multi-account AWS environment while reducing the operational overhead associated with managing multiple accounts individually. It provides a streamlined approach to account management, compliance, and security, enabling organizations to scale their AWS infrastructure effectively.

 

Customizations

Control Tower allows you to extend and customize the account provisioning process using AWS CloudFormation. You can define custom CloudFormation templates to automate the deployment of additional resources, configurations, and applications in newly provisioned accounts.

Account Factory

Control Tower's Account Factory feature enables you to create and provision AWS accounts in bulk. This is particularly useful for organizations that need to rapidly create multiple accounts, such as for project teams, departments, or subsidiaries.


Account Vending Machine

The Account Vending Machine feature allows you to automate the process of requesting and provisioning new AWS accounts. It provides a self-service portal where users can request new accounts, specify account-level configurations, and Control Tower automatically provisions the requested accounts based on predefined rules and policies.

Centralized Permission Management

Control Tower integrates with AWS Single Sign-On (SSO), which enables centralized user and permission management across multiple AWS accounts. This allows you to define roles, permissions, and access policies in one place and apply them consistently across all accounts within your organization.
