AWS Control Tower guardrail naming and descriptions have been revised to better reflect the guardrail policy intention. The revised names and descriptions will help users more intuitively understand how guardrails enhance control of their accounts.

Guardrail behavior, guidance, and implementation remains unchanged. Post Updated on July 30, 2021 at 07:58PM
