• AWS Account: In AWS, you need one DuploCloud VM per AWS account, because in AWS, the account is the fundamental IAM construct. The AWS organizations and SCP are very lightweight and were more recently added in the AWS product lifespan, unlike Azure which uses Active Directory as the fundamental IAM construct. Originally DuploCloud used to manage multiple AWS accounts, but this support was removed after consistent feedback from customers and security experts. The best practice evolved to one VM agent per account, federated in a single pane, allowing you to switch accounts as needed, using the Switch Account list box.
