Benefits
Automate Amazon Web Services account creation and management
You can use multiple Amazon Web Services accounts to provide natural security, access, and billing boundaries between your resources, and Amazon Organizations allows you to automate the creation of new Amazon Web Services accounts when you need to quickly launch new workloads. You can add these new accounts to user-defined groups in your organization for easy categorization. For example, you can create separate groups to categorize development and production accounts.
Consolidate billing across multiple Amazon Web Services accounts
You can use Amazon Organizations to set up a single payment method for all the Amazon Web Services accounts in your organization through consolidated billing. With consolidated billing, you can see a combined view of charges incurred by all your accounts, as well as take advantage of pricing benefits from aggregated usage, such as volume discounts for Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3.
Categorize accounts and resources with tags
As you set up an account structure in Amazon Organizations, you can assign tags such as "project", "cost center", or "environment" to Amazon Web Services accounts you create in your organization to make it easier for you to track your Amazon Web Services accounts and keep them organized."
