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.
