AWS Account Organization

AWS Account Organization Mastery

Planning, organization and support of multi-account, multi-customer, large-scale environments:

Project Overview:

Unified Techs was tasked with managing and supporting a complex AWS Organization comprising more than 100 individual AWS accounts. The client needed a centralized governance model that could scale with their growing cloud infrastructure while enforcing security, compliance, and cost control across departments and environments. Prior to our engagement, account provisioning was manual, security policies were inconsistently applied, and operational visibility was limited. The client sought a solution that could automate multi-account management and provide standardized controls across their AWS environment.

Proposed Solution & Architecture:

Our team designed a scalable architecture leveraging AWS Organizations to centrally manage and structure all AWS accounts under Organizational Units (OUs) tailored for development, staging, and production environments. We implemented AWS Control Tower to automate account provisioning and enforce baseline configurations using guardrails and Service Control Policies (SCPs).

To ensure secure and consistent access control, we used IAM roles with permission boundaries, enabling least-privilege access across accounts while maintaining centralized oversight. AWS CloudFormation StackSets were employed to deploy shared infrastructure, logging configurations, and security baselines across all accounts from a central management account.

For monitoring and compliance, we integrated AWS Config, AWS Security Hub, and AWS CloudTrail, offering a unified view of resource compliance, potential vulnerabilities, and user activity across the organization.

Key Enhancements:

  • Centralized Management: Simplified control of 100+ AWS accounts with structured OUs and automated provisioning using Control Tower.

  • Security & Governance: Enforced organization-wide SCPs, IAM policies, and logging to improve security posture.

  • Automated Deployments: Used CloudFormation StackSets to deploy configurations and updates efficiently at scale.

  • Cost Optimization: Enabled consolidated billing and deployed AWS Budgets and Cost Explorer for financial insights.

  • Compliance Monitoring: Implemented AWS-native security services to detect misconfigurations and compliance violations.

  • Ongoing Support: Our team continues to provide proactive monitoring, governance updates, and architectural improvements.

This solution empowers the client with a robust, secure, and scalable AWS environment that supports growth and ensures operational excellence.
