Everything we do to secure our cloud-native systems is all for nothing if we do not endeavor to secure our cloud accounts as well. There is a set of best practices that we must put in place for every cloud account we create. As we strive to create autonomous services, we should leverage the natural bulkhead between cloud accounts by grouping related services into more, fine-grained accounts instead of fewer, coarse-grained accounts. In this recipe, we will see how treating accounts as code enables us to manage many accounts easily by applying the same infrastructure-as-code practices we employ to manage our many autonomous services.
