### What is AWS Control Tower?
1313

1414
AWS Control Tower helps you set up and govern AWS accounts, and gives you a centralized way to manage compliance and configuration across your AWS accounts. But Control Tower is fundamentally a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) paradigm where you use "ClickOps" to create and configure AWS accounts. That stands in contrast to the vision behind IaC tools like Terraform, which are built on the philosophy that all Cloud resources are described in code. It can also be challenging to customize Control Tower and maintain it over time.
