I like AWS, but Organizations was something that was retrofit onto the account model versus being part of the original design. GCP had second mover advantage in this area.

The way to automate provisioning of new AWS accounts requires you to engage with Control Tower in some way, like the author did with Account Factory for Terraform.

AWS makes the account model feel retrofit versus being part of the original design and 5 years later someone retrofit the organisations onto that before they they added 90% of the products into any square round hole they could find.
