AWS Billing Account Onboarding

Ways to Onboard a Billing Account

Why this matters: Manual, CLI, and CloudFormation trade off effort against repeatability — Manual suits onboarding a single account by hand (with a choice of Role ARN or Access/Secret key auth), CLI suits teams scripting AWS directly, and CloudFormation automates the setup end-to-end for scale.
