AWS Administration Cookbook

Managing AWS Accounts

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Setting up a master account
  • Creating a member account
  • Inviting an account
  • Managing your accounts
  • Adding a service control policy

Introduction

We work with a lot of companies who maintain a large, ever-growing number of AWS accounts. Keeping a handle on all these accounts has typically been quite difficult to do—even for the most seasoned AWS users.

With the release of AWS Organizations, you now have the ability to centrally manage your AWS accounts, to arrange them into logical groupings and hierarchies, and to apply controls to them in ways which haven't previously been possible on the AWS platform.

Setting up a master account

All accounts that use AWS Organizations for billing and control purposes must have a master account. This account controls membership to the organization, and pays the bills of all the members (someone's got to do it).

How to do it...

To set up a master account, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the My Organization section of the account you want to become the master. You must be logged in with your root credentials (that is, those you created the account with):
  1. In the AWS Organizations section of the AWS console, click on Create organization, as shown in the following screenshot:
  1. Unless you have a specific requirement, choose ENABLE ALL FEATURES to get the full benefit of organizations, as shown in the following screenshot...

Creating a member account

Once your organization is up and running, the most common use you will have for it is automating the account creation process. Accounts created inside an organization are referred to as member accounts.

All charges incurred by a member account will be billed to the master account.

Getting ready

Obviously, you will need an organization to perform this recipe. See the other recipes in this chapter to get started.

How to do it...

  1. Run the CLI tool command to create a new account, with appropriate values:
        aws organizations create-account \
--email <member-account-owners@email...

Inviting an account

While it makes sense to create new accounts in your organization, what do you do with all the other accounts you have now?

You can invite existing accounts to your organization, which means you can treat them just like a member account from an administrative point of view. This greatly simplifies the administrative overhead of your accounts, as there isn't a separate process for old and new accounts.

As this is generally performed once for each existing account, we will use the console.

All the AWS organizations functionality is available via the SDKs and AWS CLI tool. If you need to automate this process, you can.

Getting ready

You must have enabled AWS Organizations for one of your accounts (your master account), and have another account...

Managing your accounts

There are a number of ways to group and arrange your AWS accounts. How you do this is completely up to you, but here are a few examples to consider:

  • Business unit (BU) or location: You may wish to allow each BU to work in isolation on their own products or services, on their own schedule, without impacting other parts of the business
  • Cost center: Grouping according to cost may help you track spend versus allocated budget
  • Environment type: It may make sense to group your development, test, and production environments together in a way which helps you manage the controls across each environment
  • Workload type or data classification: Your company may want to isolate workload types from each other, or ensure that particular controls are applied to all accounts containing a particular kind of data

In the following fictitious example, we have isolated the Sitwell Enterprises Account from the rest...

Adding a service control policy

Before we begin, we should talk through what SCPs are and how they apply to your organization.

An SCP consists of a policy document which defines (by way of filtering) the services and actions which are able to be used and performed within an OU or in an AWS account. If you've previously configured an IAM policy, then you will have more than enough background knowledge to get started with SCPs. Apart from a couple of minor exceptions, they look exactly the same.

SCPs can be applied at different levels throughout an organization. These are the levels, starting from the bottom and going up:

  • AWS account level: An SCP applied to an AWS account takes effect on only that account. It's important to note that the SCP is very separate from the IAM policies which live inside the account. For example, an SCP might allow full access to S3 for an AWS account but the IAM policies inside...

Key benefits

  • • Install, configure, and administer computing, storage, and networking in the AWS cloud
  • • Automate your infrastructure and control every aspect of it through infrastructure as code
  • • Work through exciting recipes to administer your AWS cloud

Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a bundled remote computing service that provides cloud computing infrastructure over the Internet with storage, bandwidth, and customized support for application programming interfaces (API). Implementing these services to efficiently administer your cloud environments is a core task. This book will help you build and administer your cloud environment with AWS. We’ll begin with the AWS fundamentals, and you’ll build the foundation for the recipes you’ll work on throughout the book. Next, you will find out how to manage multiple accounts and set up consolidated billing. You will then learn to set up reliable and fast hosting for static websites, share data between running instances, and back up your data for compliance. Moving on, you will find out how to use the compute service to enable consistent and fast instance provisioning, and will see how to provision storage volumes and autoscale an application server. Next, you’ll discover how to effectively use the networking and database service of AWS. You will also learn about the different management tools of AWS along with securing your AWS cloud. Finally, you will learn to estimate the costs for your cloud. By the end of the book, you will be able to easily administer your AWS cloud.

Who is this book for?

If you are an administrator, DevOps engineer, or an IT professional who is moving to an AWS-based cloud environment, then this book is for you. It assumes familiarity with cloud computing platforms, and that you have some understanding of virtualization, networking, and other administration-related tasks.

What you will learn

  • • Discover the best practices to achieve an automated repeatable infrastructure in AWS
  • • Bring down your IT costs by managing AWS successfully and deliver high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability
  • • Make any website faster with static and dynamic caching
  • • Create monitoring and alerting dashboards using CloudWatch
  • • Migrate a database to AWS
  • • Set up consolidated billing to achieve simple and effective cost management with accounts
  • • Host a domain and find out how you can automate health checks

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
