Frequently Asked Questions
What is a landing zone in AWS Control Tower?
A landing zone is a well-architected, multi-account AWS environment that follows AWS best practices for security, compliance, and operational excellence. It includes account structure, identity management, security policies, network design, and logging configuration.
What are guardrails in AWS Control Tower?
Guardrails are governance rules that provide ongoing governance for your entire AWS environment. They can be preventive (using service control policies to prevent actions) or detective (using AWS Config rules to detect non-compliance).
How does AWS Control Tower work with existing AWS accounts?

Yes, AWS Control Tower allows for customization through Customizations for AWS Control Tower (CfCT), which enables you to add your own templates, policies, and configurations to your Control Tower environment.
What is the difference between AWS Control Tower and AWS Organizations?
AWS Control Tower is built on top of AWS Organizations and provides additional functionality for setting up and governing a multi-account environment. While AWS Organizations focuses on account management and policy enforcement, Control Tower adds landing zone setup, guardrails, account factory, and a governance dashboard.
