aws-scps-for-sandbox-and-training-accounts

Collection of example Service Control Policies (SCPs) that are useful for sandbox and training AWS accounts. The SCPs deny API calls that

• change baseline account settings (contacts, billing, tax settings, etc.),
• have long-term financial effects (purchases and reservations) or
• operate outside allow-listed AWS regions or services.

Notes

• The provided SCPs can only be a starting point and you will need to adapt them for your specific use case.

• Consider using aws-nuke to bring AWS accounts back into a clean and known-good state.

• Have a look at the following resources for additional SCPs you might want to implement:
