Evidence

+When AWS Control Tower creates or enrolls an account, it deploys the minimum necessary resource configuration for the account. For example, it may include resources in the form of [Account Factory templates](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/controltower/latest/userguide/account-factory-considerations.html) and other resources in your landing zone, such as IAM roles, AWS CloudTrail trails, [Service Catalog provisioned products](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/userguide/enduser-dashboard.html), and IAM Identity Center users. AWS Control Tower also deploys resources, as required by the control configuration, for the organizational unit (OU) in which the new account is destined to become a member account.
