Misc. Info:

• AWS keys have admin privileges
• Command being executed is control-tower deploy --iaas aws --region us-east-1 example-name (and destroy)
• [13:53:38] mikeyvxt:control-tower git:(master*) $ control-tower -v Control-Tower version 0.8.2
• Deploying from: Apple Macbook 15", 2018. macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Steps to Recreate

1. I ran control-tower for the first time several days ago, and it did work. But for various reasons I needed to destroy the installation.
2. Reran the deployment command as above today using a different project name and started encountering this error.
3. Tried for multiple different AWS accounts and same error happens on all of them.
