How it works...

The command to create a member account in your organization is extremely simple.

The e-mail address used cannot be associated with any other AWS accounts.

The account creating process takes some time, so it is done asynchronously. This means that you won't receive an immediate status to your create-account command. Instead, the command in this recipe will return a request ID.

This ID is then passed to another account to check the status of the creation. When the status is CREATED, you can start to use the new account.
