AWS Control Tower supports automatic enrollment of accounts
AWS finally lets you drag-drop accounts between OUs without manual busywork. Only took them how many years? Also love that "auto-enrollment" requires toggling flags and API parameters. So automatic!

I’m very much liking the Gazetteer. Amusingly enough, I first learned about them from the side of a bus.
With Nancy Pelosi announcing her retirement, we look back on her remarkable, and at times contentious, career. She was a 1-of-1 politician. But she's also the exact opposite of the leader SF now needs.

Okay, cool, but right now every hyperscaler is looking at tens or hundreds of billions worth of “hole in their balance sheets” if OpenAI can’t pay for the ~$1.4 trillion they’ve committed to.
