Are there any limitations on using an institutional AWS account?
Self-service cloud accounts are not intended for sensitive or confidential data. There are guidelines and access controls that are not in place to prevent unauthorized access or accidental exposure of sensitive information.
Accounts are also not suitable for hosting critical production systems or applications without proper governance and oversight. Mission-critical applications and systems may require specialized infrastructure, high availability, and more stringent operational processes that necessitate centralized management and monitoring.
For more information, please review our Cloud and AWS security standards.
What can I use an AWS co-managed account for?
AWS accounts can be useful for several types of scenarios, including, but not limited to: developing and testing environments, running data for research or experimentation, creating hands-on training environments, innovating and prototyping proof-of-concepts, and for managing Agile and DevOps practices.
