Read every account, role, SCP and drift. Propose any change as a reviewed pull request. Run a full cross-org account migration end to end — without ever opening the AWS console.
AWS Control Tower and Landing Zone Accelerator put your whole org into YAML — then leave you to edit it by hand, across seven files, behind a maze of consoles.
Accounts, OUs, roles, groups, SCP slots, declared-vs-live drift, account readiness, and the live pipeline — assumed cross-account with least-privilege read access.
New accounts, access grants, migrations — each renders the exact YAML diff, dry-runs first, then opens a feature-branch pull request. Append-only guardrails, fully audited.
Controlled Tower never merges and never starts the pipeline. You review the branch, you merge to main, and the Accelerator pipeline does the rest.
Switch modes, pick a control, see what it does. This is the whole surface.
Stand up workload accounts and retire them — safely and by the book.
Map who gets what, across accounts, declaratively.
Prove the zone is what the config says it is.
The cross-org runbook, turned into guided steps.
Watch the machine and understand failures.
Nothing happens off the record.
Controlled Tower writes to a feature branch and stops. It never merges, and it never starts the pipeline — your merge to main is the only release gesture.

The machine time is fixed. What Controlled Tower gives back is the human time around it — schema-hunting, console-clicking, hand-auditing, and runbook-wrangling. Move the sliders.
Volumes & per-task minutes are editable estimates — tune them to your org. The fixed anchors are sourced from AWS: pipeline runs of 45–90 min and cross-org migrations needing a ~90-day assessment and staged runbook.
SCPs, Config, Security Hub, GuardDuty, EBS & S3 controls applied on enroll.
Every apply recorded, with snapshots and one-click revert.
Cross-account reads via a single least-privilege role; writes gated off by default.
No change reaches AWS without a pull request a human merged.
One deck for every account, role, guardrail and migration — safe by construction, reviewed by a human, audited end to end.
