AWS Organizations and IAM Identity Center
Learn how to manage multiple AWS accounts from a single point using AWS Organizations and IAM Identity Center.
As companies scale and expand, the need for efficient management and control over their digital infrastructure becomes increasingly important. This creates a need for isolation between different departments or business units within the organization. For that, companies create multiple AWS accounts, providing departments with dedicated environments to manage their resources independently. This solves the problem of isolated environments but poses the challenge of managing multiple AWS accounts. To make this management easier, AWS provides us with a management service called AWS Organizations.
What is AWS Organizations?
AWS Organizations is an account management service that we can use to manage multiple accounts under one roof. It allows us to centrallly manage multiple accounts and Organizational Units (OUs) under one root account. This helps manage accounts more easily by consolidating billing and allowing us to use a savings plan across all accounts. We can also share common resources within these OUs.
