Assisted migration process to enable all features with Organizations - AWS Organizations

Assisted migration process to enable all features with Organizations

If you are an Enterprise customer, it can be difficult to complete the standard migration process due to the large number of accounts you might manage. For example, you might have difficulty obtaining approval to migrate all invited accounts in large organizations.

Assisted migration help with this process by enabling customers with an Enterprise Support plan to request that AWS migrate their organization to all features on your behalf. This process requires that you sign an agreement contract affirming that you own all accounts, followed by a 14-day waiting period. This waiting period provides accounts time to leave the organization if the accounts want to before the migration to all features takes effect.

AWS Management Console
To migrate to all features with assisted migration

  1. Sign in to the AWS Organizations console. You must sign in as an IAM user, assume an IAM role, or sign in as the root user (not recommended) in the organization’s management account.

  2. On the Settings page choose Enable all feature and then select Assisted migration.

  3. Read the terms and conditions of the agreement, choose Accept and choose Begin process to enable all features to start the migration.

    Note

    Beginning the assisted migration process overrides the standard migration process

    If you are currently enabling all features using the standard migration process, it will be canceled, and the assisted migration process will kick-off.

    The assisted migration process is one-way and cannot be rolled back

    After you have begun the assisted migration process, it cannot be rolled back. You will need to wait 90 days until the process expires if you want to go through the standard process instead.

If you use assisted migration, you do not need to worry about accessing your invited account as the root user to accept the migration to all features.

You can reach out to your Technical Account Manager (TAM) for exact details, progress, and timelines for the assisted migration.
