Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers the advantage of a scalable, reliable, and secure global computing infrastructure. It can quickly and securely host applications, but its capabilities go far beyond cloud storage and computing, with many accompanying services and features. We summarized the benefits AWS offers in our previous article, now we provide you with an overview about how it works in practice and how it can support organizations to transform their business.

When choosing a cloud service provide it is important to think about how to handle different business units and groups of workloads. If planned carefully, it can help companies more easily report, control, forecast, and budget their cloud expenditures.

Benefits of using multiple AWS accounts

AWS accounts serve as the fundamental security boundary in AWS. Separating the resources into separate AWS accounts helps to support the following principles in the cloud environment:

• Security control 
• Isolation 
• Many teams 
• Data isolation 
• Business process 
• Billing 
• Quota allocation 

However, before adding multiple accounts, a plan needs to be developed for managing these accounts. AWS Organizations can manage all AWS accounts in any organization.   Whether it is a growing startup or a large enterprise, Organizations helps to centrally provision accounts and resources, secure and audit their environment for compliance, share resources, control access to accounts, regions, and services, as well as optimize costs and simplify billing. Furthermore, AWS Organizations also offers AWS Control Tower, which adds layers of AWS managed automation to Organizations and automatically integrates it with other AWS services.
