Today, Amazon Web Services Inc., an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ:
AMZN), announced the general availability of AWS Control Tower, a
service that makes it easy for customers to set up and continuously
govern secure, compliant multi-account AWS environments. AWS
Control Tower gives customers an automated landing zone – a
pre-configured environment built according to AWS best-practices –
as well as a pre-packaged set of guardrails – clearly defined rules
for security, operations, and compliance – that provide ongoing
governance. Customers can use AWS Control Tower to deploy their new
multi-account environment with just a few clicks in the AWS
Management Console. There are no additional charges or upfront
commitments required to use AWS Control Tower, and customers pay
only for AWS services enabled in order to set up their landing zone
and operate their guardrails. To get started with AWS Control
Tower, visit: https://aws.amazon.com/controltower.
Organizations migrating to AWS often need to manage a large
number of accounts across distributed teams. AWS’s existing
management and governance services, such as AWS Organizations and
AWS Config, give customers granular control over their
environments, but many organizations also want more prescriptive
guidance and help setting up a secure environment spanning many
accounts. Customers also want to ensure that they're using all the
right tools and that they understand how those tools can create and
enforce central policies for their teams to deploy workloads in a
secure and compliant way. And of course they want to do all of this
without sacrificing the speed, agility, and fine-grained control
that AWS provides.
AWS Control Tower addresses these challenges by enabling central
cloud teams to automatically deploy a single landing zone where
their teams can provision accounts and workloads according to
industry and AWS standards for identity, federated access, and
account structure. The landing zone employs best-practices
blueprints, such as configuring a multi-account structure using AWS
Organizations, managing user identities and federated access with
AWS Single Sign-On, provisioning accounts using an account factory
through AWS Service Catalog, centralizing a log archive using AWS
CloudTrail and AWS Config, and much more. AWS Control Tower offers
a curated set of guardrails which are based on AWS best practices
and common customer policies for governance. Guardrails establish a
configuration baseline, prevent the deployment of resources that
don’t conform to these policies, and continuously monitor deployed
resources for non-conformance. The landing zone features a standard
set of default guardrails, and customers can enforce more granular
governance by applying recommended guardrails to groups of accounts
at any time. Guardrails for an organization remain in effect as new
accounts are created or existing accounts change. All of this can
be easily managed and monitored through the AWS Control Tower
dashboard, providing customers with centralized visibility into
their AWS environment, including information about accounts
provisioned, guardrails enabled, and the guardrail compliance
status of accounts.
“One of the most common reasons customers tell us that they
choose AWS is that it allows their teams to build and innovate more
quickly. The speed, fine-grained control, and autonomy provided by
AWS are crucial benefits, but customers also want a simple,
automated, and centralized way to ensure all of that distributed
work is being done securely and in accordance with their policies,”
said Dave McCann, VP of Marketplace and Migration, AWS. “Not only
does AWS Control Tower make deploying a multi-account environment
and establishing governance controls as easy as selecting items
from a menu, it also gives customers a roadmap for how to get it
right based upon AWS’s experience helping thousands of enterprise
customers create secure and compliant cloud environments.”
AWS Control Tower is available today in US East (N Virginia), US
East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), and EU (Ireland) with additional
regions coming soon.
