Where do AWS resources go?

In general, put create new resources in the mofo-projects account. The exception to this rule is if the new resource needs to be in the legacy account (mofo-everything) to access an existing resource in that account (i.e. IAM stored certificates in mofo-everything are only available to resources in that account)
