<a name="application-account"></a>

Application accounts are AWS accounts within the AMS-managed landing zone architecture that you use to host your workloads. AMS offers three types of Application accounts:
+ [AMS-managed application accounts](application-account-ams-managed.md)
+ [AMS Accelerate accounts](malz-accelerate-account.md)
+ [Customer Managed application accounts](application-account-cust-man.md)

Application accounts are grouped in different OUs in AWS Organizations depending on the Application account type:
+ Root OU:

  1. Applications OU
     + Managed OU: AMS-managed accounts
     + Development OU: AMS-managed accounts with Developer mode enabled

  1. Accelerate OU: AMS Accelerate Application accounts

  1. Customer-managed OU: Customer-managed Application accounts

Application accounts are provisioned through an RFC submitted from the Management account:
