AWS resilience-hub: Resilience Hub: sharing policies across an organization

Service: resilience-hub · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: resilience-hub/latest/userguide/next-gen-org-policies.md

Summary

Adds guidance on sharing a policy directly with an organization (visible in every member account, applied at service owners' discretion) versus associating it with a system so it applies to every associated service regardless of owning account; also renames a TOC entry to 'Tracking changes to a shared policy'.

Security assessment

Describes governance of resilience policies across an AWS Organization, i.e., scope of application to member accounts and services. It is an operational/administrative scoping change, not a vulnerability fix or a security control documented.

Evidence

+You can also share a policy directly with your organization instead of applying it through a system. A shared policy is visible in every member account, and service owners choose whether to apply it to their services.

+You can also share a policy directly with your organization instead of applying it through a system. A shared policy is visible in every member account, and service owners choose whether to apply it to their services. Share a policy directly when service teams own the decision to adopt it. Associate the policy with a system when you want it applied to every associated service, regardless of which account owns the service. For more information, see [Sharing a policy across your organization](./next-gen-policy-sharing.html).
