Transferring an AWS Account

In this section you will find a step-by-step walk-through of the AWS account transfer process. The scenario in which an AWS account needs to be transferred from a different AWS account/organization or master payer to the current AWS account (the account from which the invite scenario is being performed). To obtain more information about account transfers, refer to the FAQs section.

1. Log in to the Marketplace, select an AWS Consolidated plan and click Add to Cart.

   

2. Once a service plan is added, a red notification icon will appear on the cart indicating the number of items that it currently contains.

3. Click the cart icon to review your order. Click Next.

4. Select an existing customer or add a new customer. In this example, we will select an existing customer. Once the customer is selected, click Next.

   

5. Set up your purchase by providing the following information:

   • Select the Account type:

     • AWS Account Transfer (invite): Select this option if an AWS account needs to be transferred from a different AWS account/organization or master payer to the AWS account from which the transfer scenario is being performed. Along with the transfer, a subscription is also created in CloudBlue Commerce and CloudBlue Connect for the invited account. Accounts that are directly under the root/SP organization or under the same master payer from which the transfer scenario is being performed do not qualify for the transfer scenario.

   • Select the AWS Support Level. For more information on the support levels available, refer to the AWS documentation.

     • Basic

     • Developer

     • Business

   • Specify if you are creating the account on behalf of a Government Entity.

   • Enter the AWS Transfer Payee Account ID.

   • Select the environment:

     • Production

     • Internal Use

   

6. Provide the ID of the account to be transferred. In this case, an invitation will be sent, which you will have to accept in the AWS Organizations console. The purchase request will not be approved in Connect until the invitation is accepted.

   

7. Once the subscription is provisioned, a new tile will be available for AWS Consolidated.

   

8. Click on the AWS Consolidated tile to see the subscription details (AWS account name, email and ID) as well as links to the AWS Management Console.
