Explanation
When an AWS account needs to move from one AWS Organizations to another, the correct process is:
- Remove the account from the current organization - The account must first leave the original organization
- Invite the account to join the new organization - The management account of the new organization can then send an invitation to the account
- Accept the invitation - The account accepts the invitation to join the new organization
Why option B is correct:
- AWS accounts cannot be members of multiple organizations simultaneously
- The R&D AWS account must first leave the prior organization before it can join the new one
- The new management account can then invite the R&D account to join the new organization
Why other options are incorrect:
- A: AWS accounts cannot be part of multiple organizations at the same time
- C: While technically possible, this is inefficient and requires complex resource migration when the account can simply be moved between organizations
- D: This would create a circular relationship and doesn't properly address moving the R&D account to the new organization
Key AWS Organizations concepts:
- An AWS account can only belong to one organization at a time
- To move an account between organizations, it must first leave the current organization
- The management account of the destination organization can then invite the account
- This preserves the account's resources, IAM roles, and configurations without needing migration
