Glossary term

Shared services account

A cloud account that holds infrastructure used by several teams, such as networking, logging or CI, usually run by a platform team. Its cost is then reported centrally or allocated back to the teams that use it. Why it matters: It avoids duplicated tooling, but its cost needs a clear allocation rule.
