Considered to be the best practices in AWS, one of the most popular ways to maximize AWS’s potential is to utilize multiple accounts.

An account enables you to run multiple workloads and draw a line on three crucial aspects:

  • Billing and Cost Management
  • Identity and Access Management
  • Limit Resources and API Request Management

Firstly, AWS encouraged creating multiple accounts, developed Consolidated billing to group all the billings of an AWS environment.

Then, in 2017, it introduced AWS Organization.

If we focus on IAM and access management, with Organization, AWS SSO has come as a gamechanger for a large number of situations.
