This is a fork of https://github.com/awslabs/aws-control-tower-customizations.
It was forked initially because we required the ability to deploy templates to the root account.
A PR to that effect was created but after more than half a year there is little hope for it to be merged.
It seems that the solution in the original is intended to serve as a guideline rather than a software-library that will be maintained.
The Customizations for AWS Control Tower solution combines AWS Control Tower and other highly-available, trusted AWS services to help customers more quickly set up a secure, multi-account AWS environment based on AWS best practices. Customers can easily add customizations to their AWS Control Tower landing zone using an AWS CloudFormation template and service control policies (SCPs). Customers can deploy their custom template and policies to both individual accounts and organizational units (OUs) within their organization. Customizations for AWS Control Tower integrates with AWS Control Tower lifecycle events to ensure that resource deployments stay in sync with the customer's landing zone. For example, when a new account is created using the AWS Control Tower account factory, the solution ensures that all resources attached to the account's OUs will be automatically deployed. Before deploying this solution, customers need to have an AWS Control Tower landing zone deployed in their account.
To get started with the Customizations for AWS Control Tower solution, please review the solution documentation. https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/customizations-for-aws-control-tower
- Clone the repository, then make the desired code changes
- Next, run unit tests to make sure added customization passes the tests
chmod +x ./deployment/run-unit-tests.sh
./deployment/run-unit-tests.sh
- Configure the solution name, version number and bucket name of your target Amazon S3 distribution bucket
export DIST_OUTPUT_BUCKET=my-source-code-bucket-name # Name for the S3 bucket where customized code will reside
export TEMPLATE_OUTPUT_BUCKET=my-template-bucket-name # Name for the S3 bucket where the template will be located
export SOLUTION_NAME=customizations-for-aws-control-tower # name of the solution
export VERSION=my-version # version number for the customized code
Note: You would have to create an S3 bucket with prefix 'my-bucket-name-<aws_region>'; aws_region is where you are testing the customized solution. Also, the assets in bucket should be publicly accessible
- Now build the distributable:
chmod +x ./build-s3-dist.sh
./build-s3-dist.sh $DIST_OUTPUT_BUCKET $TEMPLATE_OUTPUT_BUCKET $SOLUTION_NAME $VERSION
- Deploy the distributable to an Amazon S3 bucket in your account. Note: you must have the AWS Command Line Interface installed. Make sure you use proper acl and profile for the copy operation as applicable.
aws s3 cp deployment/global-s3-assets/ s3://my-bucket-name-<aws_region>/$SOLUTION_NAME/$VERSION/ --recursive --acl bucket-owner-full-control --profile aws-cred-profile-name
aws s3 cp deployment/regional-s3-assets/ s3://my-bucket-name-<aws_region>/$SOLUTION_NAME/$VERSION/ --recursive --acl bucket-owner-full-control --profile aws-cred-profile-name
- Get the link of the custom-control-tower-initiation.template loaded to your Amazon S3 bucket.
- Deploy the Customizations for AWS Control Tower solution to your account by launching a new AWS CloudFormation stack using the link of the custom-control-tower-initiation.template.
The File structure of the Customizations for AWS Control Tower solution consists of a deployment directory that contains AWS CloudFormation template and build scripts, and a source directory that contains python source code.
