AWS account ID

AWS account ID is a 12-digit number such as 123456780123 which can be used to construct Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). Suppose we refer to resources such as an IAM user, the AWS account ID distinguishes the resources from resources in other AWS accounts.

Finding the AWS account ID
We can find the AWS account ID from AWS Management Console. The following steps are taken to view your account ID:
  • Login to the aws account by entering your email address and password, and then you will move to the management console.
