AWS Organizations

This project provides a CDK construct managing AWS organizations, organizational units and accounts.

Currently, there is no @aws-cdk/aws-organizations available. See this Issue on AWS CDK.

API Reference

See API.md

Install

TypeScript

npm install @pepperize/cdk-organizations

or

yarn add @pepperize/cdk-organizations

Python

pip install pepperize.cdk-organizations

C# / .Net

dotnet add package Pepperize.CDK.Organizations

Getting Started

  1. Create a new CDK TypeScript App project with projen
mkdir my-project
cd my-project
git init -b main
npx projen new awscdk-app-ts
  1. Add @pepperize/cdk-organizations to your dependencies in .projenrc.js
const project = new awscdk.AwsCdkConstructLibrary({
//...
  deps: ["@pepperize/cdk-organizations"],
});
  1. Create a stack
export class OrganizationStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props: StackProps = {}) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    // Create or import your organization
    const organization = new Organization(stack, "Organization", {});
    // Add organizational units, accounts, policies ...
  }
}

Limitations

AWS Organizations has some limitations:

  • The stack can only be deployed in the us-east-1 region.
  • The stack's account must be the management account of an existing organization.
  • The stack's account becomes the management account of the new organization.
  • An account belongs only to one organization with a single root.

Usage

Organization

To create a new organization or import an existing organization, add the following construct to your stack:

const organization = new Organization(stack, "Organization", {
  featureSet: FeatureSet.ALL,
});
  • The account which deploys the stack automatically becomes the management account of the new organization.
  • If an organization already exists, it will be automatically imported. The account which deploys the stacks must be the management account.
  • If the construct gets removed from the stack the organization still remains and must be manually deleted.
  • For deletion of an organization you must previously remove all the member accounts, OUs, and policies from the organization.
  • Currently, you can have only one root. AWS Organizations automatically creates it for you when you create the new organization.
  • It can only be used from within the management account in the us-east-1 region.

Organizational Unit (OU)

To create a new organizational unit (OU), add the following construct to your stack:

const organizationUnit = new OrganizationalUnit(stack, "Organization", {
  organizationalUnitName: "Project2",
  parent: organisation.root,
});

To import an existing organizational unit (OU), add the following to your stack:

const organizationUnit = OrganizationalUnit.fromOrganizationalUnitId(stack, "Organization", {
  organizationalUnitId: "ou-1234",
  organizationalUnitName: "Project2",
  parent: organisation.root,
});
  • The parent of an organizational unit (OU) can be either the organization's root or another OU within the organization.
  • An organizational unit (OU) can't be moved. You have to create a new one and move all the accounts.
  • For deletion of an organizational unit (OU) you must first move all accounts out of the OU and any child OUs, and then you can delete the child OUs.
  • It can only be used from within the management account in the us-east-1 region.

Account

To create a new account, add the following construct to your stack:

new Account(stack, "Account", {
  accountName: "MyAccount",
  email: "info@pepperize.com",
  iamUserAccessToBilling: IamUserAccessToBilling.ALLOW,
  parent: organization.root,
});

To import an existing organizational unit (OU), add the following to your stack:

Account.fromAccountId(stack, "ImportedAccount", {
  accountId: "123456789012",
  parent: organization.root,
});
  • The email address must not already be associated with another AWS account. You may suffix the email address, i.e. info+account-123456789012@pepperize.com.
  • An account will be created and then moved to the parent, if the parent is an organizational unit (OU).
  • It can only be used from within the management account in the us-east-1 region.
  • An account can't be deleted easily, if the construct gets removed from the stack the account still remains. Closing an AWS account
