Multi-Account Aws Environments

I first heard about the full potential of AWS Organisations in this excellent talk on IAM Policies. I had seen this option in the console before, but I thought it would be overkill to create an organisation with multiple accounts when I only had a few small projects running on AWS at the time. Nowadays I make a new account for every new project I host on AWS. I love the organisation and separation of concerns that this brings to my setup. It's given me a lot of confidence to experiment with new AWS features and configurations.
