Gmail Catch-all address (dynamic alias)

You’ll need to create multiple AWS accounts, General (Management), Prod, Testing etc. Simple way to do this is using Gmail’s catch all.

Meaning if your address is dude@gmail.com, you can use dude+AWSManagement@gmail.com , dude+AWSProd@gmail.com and whatever else, and still have them all refer to the single Gmail account.
