How Toyota scaled cloud onboarding with HCP Terraform and AFT
summary
Toyota scales onboarding using HCP Terraform + AWS Account Factory for Terraform to provision over 200 projects, creating accounts in as little as two hours (typically two business days) and achieving a 96% reduction in lead time for security setup. Implementation details: custom web app auto-generates account requests, SQS queues parallel creations, Service Control Policies enforce org-level protection, EventBridge schedules staged customization updates, and GitHub Actions roll Terraform versions across many workspaces — all automation is deployed and operating in production.
