Cool! We do the same but we call it root account instead of bastion account, since bastion is an overloaded term in the AWS universe.


We call ours the "hub" account, since we picture the relationships between our accounts as a hub-and-spoke model.

"Root account" is also a bit misleading, because the root user is the initial non-IAM login associated with the account (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_root-user...).


I think naming things is difficult, and the best name for a thing is the most meaningful to you and your company.
