Result

• Based on the defined context, Cloud Account Management creates a subscription account within the specified cloud organization and AWS organization unit or Azure management group

• To provide a more user-friendly alternative to a subscription ID, an alias is appended to the request name when an Azure subscription is requested through Cloud Account Management. The alias consists of an 8-character randomly generated suffix. For example: CWSAREQ0000001-businessapp1-UEFwnlF8.
