LZA with Terraform

Question

Hello team ,
 Can we deploy LZA with terraform ?  which is better LZA or AWS Control Tower

Gary Mclean · Accepted Answer

We use terraform because it’s more customisable. We deploy landing zone and workload accounts with terraform. 
It’s our preference.

Pros and cons to both.

Hi Gajalakshmi,

I would like to point you to our documentation on provisioning and managing accounts in AWS Control Tower [1].

The information you are looking for is found under "Account Factory" [2], "Account Factory Customization (AFC)" [3] and more specifically to your question, "AWS Control Tower Account Factory for Terraform (AFT)".

Hope this helps.

[Landing Zone Accelerator](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/landing-zone-accelerator-on-aws/) is a proprietary AWS solution that comes with pre built packages leveraging AWS CDK/Cloudformation. You cannot deploy LZA with Terraform.

LZA is a tool that enables you to manage/customize Control Tower. You can use LZA without Control Tower to manage your AWS Organization.
