AWS Organizations

Concepts: - AWS Organizations: the top-level container that owns multiple AWS accounts. - OU (Organizational Unit): a folder-like grouping of accounts. Service Control Policies (SCPs) at the OU level apply to all accounts in the OU. - Account: the actual cloud account; holds resources. - Management account: the account that created the Organization; billing aggregation lives here, and cross-account roles are typically issued from here.
