Working with shared resources

Let’s close this chapter with a look at how we share resources across different accounts. AWS Outposts is compatible with AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM), a service that securely allows AWS accounts, AWS Organizations, or organizational units (OUs) within an organization to consume resources shared by another account. Better yet, AWS RAM is available to you at no cost.

The account sharing the resources is denoted as the owner, while the accounts using these resources are the consumers. With this model, you can design one AWS Organization and order your Outposts in the root account and share its resources with OUs or member accounts directly. Here is an example of a basic organization:

There are services that can run on Outposts but cannot be shared. A comprehensive list of resources that can be shared is available at this URL: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/outposts/latest...
