Can I get a single-account Reference Architecture?

Answer

I'm looking for a reference architecture, but it comes with 4-6 AWS accounts by default, as per AWS recommendations around Landing Zone. Is there a way to get it with just one account?

We don’t support single Ref Arch deployments anymore. With that in mind, we deprecated single account deployment because it tends not to be a good fit for most customers, and it is against AWS best practices. There is a very narrow use case where single account makes sense: large enterprises that have tight controls around AWS account creation and the customer team doesn’t have the power / approval to get anything more than one account. But that use case is fairly rare in our experience. credit to @yorinasub17
