Explanation

Cloud account architecture (e.g., AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions, GCP projects) establishes the foundational boundaries for access control, network segmentation, blast radius containment, and compliance scope. Security requirements must be the primary driver because account design decisions are extremely difficult to reverse and have cascading security implications. While organizational structure, management hierarchy, and business continuity considerations may influence design, they are secondary to ensuring the architecture enforces least privilege, separation of duties, and proper isolation from a security standpoint.
