Generally, we recommend that you create a new AWS account because we provision it immediately and already include all of our best-practice configurations ready for your use. If you have an existing AWS account that you want to use with our services, see Transferring existing AWS Master Payers and linked accounts to Rackspace for additional details regarding the process.
