Single AWS account

If you have experimented with AWS, you might have used a single AWS account in which to perform some of your initial non-production work. You might have even started to manage some of your early workloads as production resources in the single AWS account.

Refer to the Transitional OU for information on the considerations for moving accounts into a new overall AWS environment.
