This is a fantastic video! Thank you so much for making a clear, concise, end-to-end guide. Quick info to anyone following this now. With the new layout on 06:59, you have to click the "Access" tab, followed by "Grant access" (yellow button on right), before you can select roles.
Thank you, Alfredo! Appreciate your feedback, it really motivates me to move forward. If you will have any suggestions on what you want to see also on this channel, always welcome :)
I'm getting an error with AWS permissions.

So, the third requirement - pre-installed landing zone - can't create it from Terraform? because I am looking for information about this but I dont find anything... any idea?
Did you manage to use s3 as a terraform state backend? It does create the necessary buckets and dynamodb table but stores the statefile locally. When trying to migrate I don't seem to have permission to write to the bucket in the aft management account from the root/controltower account.

Fixed it, realized it was an issue w/ my credentuals, when calling aws sts get-caller-identity Creds were correct but still had issues running next steps, ended up deleting the credentials file and re-configured my aws credentials locally to get terraform working properly
you are the guy from Udemy! great job with this tutorial, you saved my thesis 🤖

Awesome demo, Skrypnyk, I wanted exactly see a walkthrough like that before diving deep to build one myself!
Glad that you liked :)
Thank you for feedback
Will continue soon prepare more interesting video
Great video. Thanks a lot for taking the time to create it.

any idea?
thats right, u do it in the aws console
Well done :)

Can you please make another video for configuring control tower.
How do you resolve this error?

I've assumed roles for each account under my "ct_management" user profile, but still having the same error
Fixed it, realized it was an issue w/ my credentuals, when calling aws sts get-caller-identity
Creds were correct but still had issues running next steps, ended up deleting the credentials file and re-configured my aws credentials locally to get terraform working properly
i have tried exactly how you did by reffering the blog of hashicorp everything worked fine but couldn't be able to create the accounts
