Account Factory Installation

Overview​

Account Factory is automatically integrated into new Pipelines root repositories during the bootstrapping process.

By default, Account Factory includes the following components:

  • A root directory for tracking account requests: _new-account-requests

  • A mechanism for generating new account request files: _new-account-requests/account-<AccountName>.yml

  • A YAML file for tracking account names and IDs: accounts.yml

For detailed instructions on using these components, refer to the Vending a New AWS Account Guide.

Configuring account factory​

Account Factory is fully operational for vending new accounts without requiring any configuration changes. However, a comprehensive reference for all configuration options is available here, allowing you to customize values and templates for generating Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for new accounts.
