Why Control Tower?

The goal of Control Tower is to be the world's easiest way to deploy and operate Concourse CI in production.

In just one command you can deploy a new Concourse environment for your team, on either AWS or GCP. Your Control Tower deployment will upgrade itself and self-heal, restoring the underlying VMs if needed. Using the same command-line tool you can do things like manage DNS, scale your environment, or manage firewall policy. CredHub is provided for secrets management and Grafana for viewing your Concourse metrics.
