Question #1605
A company has five organizational units (OUs) within its AWS Organizations setup, each corresponding to one of its core business divisions. The marketing division is being spun off into a separate entity and requires its own independent AWS Organization. A solutions architect establishes a new management account for the spun-off marketing organization. What should the solutions architect do next in the new management account?
Keep the marketing AWS account in both organizations temporarily to facilitate the transition.
Invite the marketing AWS account to join the new organization once it has exited the original organization.
Provision a new marketing AWS account in the new organization and transfer all resources from the existing marketing account.
Add the marketing AWS account to the new organization and include the new management account as a member of the original organization.
Explanation
Answer B is correct because AWS accounts cannot belong to multiple organizations simultaneously. To move the marketing account to the new organization, it must first be removed from the original organization. Once removed, the new management account can invite the marketing account to join the new organization.
Option A is incorrect because AWS accounts cannot exist in multiple organizations at the same time. Option C is not required because AWS allows accounts to be moved between organizations without reprovisioning resources. Option D is invalid because a management account cannot be a member of another organization. Key points: AWS accounts are exclusive to one organization; moving accounts requires exiting the current organization first.
Answer
The correct answer is: B
