Description

AWS Organizational Unit is a container for AWS accounts within an organization. It groups accounts for management purposes and applies policies across multiple accounts. Organizational Units can be nested to create hierarchies, facilitating centralized control over permissions, compliance, and resource access. This structure supports governance and organizational alignment in complex AWS environments.
