Hey, author of the post here!

To manage our AWS accounts we use:

- AWS SSO hooked up to our Google Workspace: so no AWS access keys exist, everyone has only short-lived credentials (e.g. 24 hours) to access their AWS account.

- AWS Organization with consolidated billing: all our bills roll up into one nice invoice!

- AWS Control Tower: allows us to deploy guardrails and policies to keep all our AWS accounts secure. We also have a centralized Audit AWS account where all Cloudtrail logs are routed.

- AWS Account Factory: to create new AWS accounts that are automatically enrolled and created as part of the right Org Unit.

- AWS Cloudformation StackSets: allows us to deploy custom resources to everyone's AWS accounts. Right now we use this to deploy custom roles that can be assumed by developers.

Hope that answers your question!




Thanks for sharing the context! Looks like AWS have thought about use cases similar to yours and developed features. Will explore it more!
