Areas for Improvement

Sleek management of AWS access and billing with AWS Organizations

Pros

  • Brings all AWS organizations under one management structure for billing
  • Simplified management of user access with AWS SSO
  • Centralized reporting

Cons

  • Could include cross organization IAM management
  • Could allow quick login access to other organizations like the AWS SSO homepage

Return on Investment

  • AWS Organizations allow for quick user access when paired with AWS SSO and SAML groups.
  • AWS Organizations does not use IAM users and there is an initial cost in time to set up AWS SSO.
