Why do they need that many AWS accounts?
- nivertech 4y agoThey're probably using AWS accounts for all or some of the following: 1. Compartmentalization (security incidents and manual mistakes are isolated per account). On the extreme side even some sensitive [micro]services may run in separate AWS a/c. 2. One AWS a/c per environment (i.e. dev, staging, prod). 3. One AWS a/c per large enterprise tenant (in case of the multi-tenancy). 4. Every team/division inside the organization have their own sets of AWS accounts usually with separate billing.
