Application account types

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

• AMS Accelerate accounts

• Customer Managed application accounts

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

  2. Accelerate OU: AMS Accelerate Application accounts

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

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