Topic Overview

AWS Control Tower is a service intended for organizations with multiple accounts and teams looking for the easiest way to set up their new multi-account AWS environment and govern at scale. Accounts created with AWS Control Tower are governed compliant with established policies.

Workshop Overview

In this three-part workshop, you will gain experience with AWS Control Tower to set up a new baseline multi-account AWS environment that is secure, well-architected, and ready to use. Additionally, explore the design choices AWS Control Tower promotes.

Workshop Objectives
