AWS Control Tower introduces a controls-dedicated experience

AWS Control Tower offers the easiest way to manage and govern your environment with AWS managed controls. Starting today, customers can have direct access to these AWS managed controls without requiring a full Control Tower deployment. This new experience offers over 750 managed controls that customers can deploy within minutes while maintaining their existing account structure.

AWS Control Tower v4.0 introduces direct access to Control Catalog, allowing customers to review available managed controls and deploy them into their existing AWS Organization. With this release, customers now have more flexibility and autonomy over their organizational structure, as Control Tower will no longer enforce a mandatory structure. Additionally, customers will have improved operations such as cleaner resource and permissions management and cost attribution due to the separation of S3 buckets and SNS notifications for the AWS Config and AWS CloudTrail integrations.

This controls-focused experience is now available in all AWS Regions where AWS Control Tower is supported. For more information about this new capability see the AWS Control Tower User Guide or contact your AWS account team. For a full list of Regions where AWS Control Tower is available, see the AWS Region Table.
