## How It Works

* **Note**\
  It is not recommended to run any type of production workloads from an AWS Control Tower management account. Create a separate AWS Control Tower account to run your workloads.
* **Note**\
  The AWS CloudFormation StackSet `BP_BASELINE_CLOUDTRAIL` is not deployed in landing zone versions 3.0 or later. However, it continues to exist in earlier versions of the landing zone, until you update your landing zone.
