Terraforming AWS Control Tower
summary
AWS and HashiCorp publish an account factory for terraform module (Nov 2021) that provisions Control Tower accounts via Git-driven pipelines (CodePipeline + CodeCommit/GitHub/Bitbucket), produces four Git repos and requires Control Tower already deployed plus Terraform 0.15+, a separate AFT account/OU, and admin privileges. Customizations run as Terraform or Python and can trigger Step Functions; teardown is manual and AFT’s extra pipelines and stateful services cost roughly ~$300/month.
