Contributing
Contributions of all kinds are welcome :rocket: Check out our contributor's guide.
For a quick start, check out a development environment:
git clone git@github.com:pepperize/cdk-organizations
cd cdk-organizations
# install dependencies
yarn
# build with projen
yarn build
Getting Started
-
Create a new account
-
Prepare an IAM User with
AdministratorAccess
To deploy your new organization, you have to create an Administrator with an AccessKey
-
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
-
Add
@pepperize/cdk-organizations
to your dependencies in.projenrc.js
const project = new awscdk.AwsCdkTypeScriptApp({ //... deps: ["@pepperize/cdk-organizations"], });
-
Install the dependency
npx projen
-
Create a stack
import { Account, Organization, OrganizationalUnit } from "@pepperize/cdk-organizations"; import { Stack } from "aws-cdk-lib"; export class OrganizationStack extends Stack { constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props: StackProps = {}) { super(scope, id, props); // Create your organization const organization = new Organization(stack, "Organization", {}); // Create an organizational unit (OU) const organizationUnit = new OrganizationalUnit(stack, "OrganizationalUnit", { organizationalUnitName: "MyFirstOU", parent: organization.root, }); // Create an account const account = new Account(stack, "Account", { accountName: "MyFirstAccount", email: "<your email for the member account>", parent: organizationUnit, }); } }
-
Configure your AWS CLI to deploy
The easiest is to export your access key
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your created access key id> export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your created secret access key>
-
Deploy your first AWS organization
export CDK_DEFAULT_REGION=<your AWS region> export CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT=<your AWS account id>
yarn deploy
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, // (default) required later on to enable SCPs, enable AWS services or delegate an administrator account
});
organization.root; // The organization's root is automatically created
FeatureSet.ALL
is required for advanced features like Service Control Policies (SCP) and is the preferred way to work with AWS Organizations- The account which deploys the stack, will automatically become the management account of the new organization.
- If an organization already exists, it will be imported automatically. You can disable this behaviour by passing
importOnDuplicate: false
in the props. - If the construct is removed from the stack, the organization will remain and must be deleted manually. For deletion of an organization you must previously remove all the member accounts, OUs, and policies from the organization. Deleting the organization by removing the management account
- An organization root is automatically created for you when you create the new organization.
See IOrganization
Organization Principal
To retrieve the AWS IAM organization principal in a member account, add the following to any construct:
const organization = Organization.of(scope, "Organization");
organization.principal; // The AWS IAM organization principal
- This helper construct can be used in any member account in the organization.
See AWS Organization API Reference - DescribeOrganization
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: organization.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 OU first, move all the accounts and then delete the old OU.
- 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. Deleting an organizational unit
Organizational Unit (OU) Properties
importOnDuplicate
If an organizational unit (OU) with the name exists in the parent, it will be imported.removalPolicy
DefaultRemovalPolicy.Retain
If you setremovalPolicy
toRemovalPolicy.destroy
, the organizational unit (OU) will be deleted on Cloudformation delete event.
Account
To create a new account, add the following construct to your stack:
new Account(stack, "Account", {
accountName: "MyAccount",
email: "info@pepperize.com",
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
. - The AWS Organizations supports only a one account creation
IN_PROGRESS
. Ensure account creation by usingaccount2.node.addDependency(account1)
dependency relationship. - An account will be created and moved to the parent, if the parent is an organizational unit (OU).
- An account can only be created from within the management account.
See IAccount
Account Properties
importOnDuplicate
If an account with the same email address exists in the organization, it will be imported.removalPolicy
DefaultRemovalPolicy.Retain
If you setremovalPolicy
toRemovalPolicy.destroy
, the account will be closed. Closing an AWS accountiamUserAccessToBilling
DefaultIamUserAccessToBilling.ALLOW
If you setiamUserAccessToBilling
toALLOW
, IAM users and roles that have appropriate permissions can view billing information for the account.roleName
DefaultOrganizationAccountAccessRole
is preconfigures in the newly created account and grants users in the management account administrator permissions in the new member account.
See AccountProps
Delegated Administrator
A compatible AWS service (trusted service) can register an AWS member account in the organization as an administrator in the organization on your behalf. To enable an AWS account as administrator of that trusted in your organization call delegateAdministrator
on your account:
const account = new Account(stack, "Account", {
accountName: "StackSetsDelegatedAdministrator",
email: "info@pepperize.com",
});
account.delegateAdministrator("stacksets.amazonaws.com");
- AWS services that support Delegated Administrator
- To be able to use Delegated Administrator, your organization must have all features enabled.
Enable an AWS Service (trusted service)
To enable trusted access for a supported AWS service (trusted service), which performs tasks in your organization and its accounts on your behalf, call enableAwsService
on your organization:
const organization = new Organization(stack, "Organization", {
featureSet: FeatureSet.ALL, // (default) the organization must be created with all features enabled
});
organization.enableAwsServiceAccess("ssm.amazonaws.com");
- To enable trusted access, you must have all features enabled.
- It's recommended to use only the trusted service's console How to enable or disable trusted access
- AWS services that you can use with AWS Organizations
Enable a Policy Type
To enable a policy type call enablePolicyType
on your organization.
const organization = new Organization(stack, "Organization", {
featureSet: FeatureSet.ALL, // (default) the organization must be created with all features enabled
});
organization.enablePolicyType(PolicyType.SERVICE_CONTROL_POLICY);
organization.enablePolicyType(PolicyType.TAG_POLICY);
organization.enablePolicyType(PolicyType.BACKUP_POLICY);
organization.enablePolicyType(PolicyType.AISERVICES_OPT_OUT_POLICY);
- To create or attach policies later on, you have to enable all features and the policy type .
See EnablePolicyType, PolicyType.
Policy
To create a new policy add the following construct to your stack:
new Policy(stack, "Policy", {
content: '{\n"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":{\n"Effect":"Allow","Action":"s3:*"\n}\n}',
description: "Enables admins of attached accounts to delegate all S3 permissions",
policyName: "AllowAllS3Actions",
policyType: PolicyType.SERVICE_CONTROL_POLICY,
});
- To create or attach policies, you must have all features and the policy type enabled.
- The SCP Syntax is quite similar to IAM policies, but way more limited.
See Policy
PolicyAttachment
To attach a policy to a root, an organizational unit (OU), or an individual account call attachPolicy
with the policy to attach:
organization.enablePolicyType(PolicyType.TAG_POLICY);
const policy = new Policy(stack, "Policy", {
content: '{\n"tags":{\n"CostCenter":{\n"tag_key":{\n"@@assign":"CostCenter"\n}\n}\n}\n}',
description: "Defines the CostCenter tag key",
policyName: "CostCenterTag",
policyType: PolicyType.TAG_POLICY,
});
organization.attachPolicy(policy);
organizationalUnit.attachPolicy(policy);
account.attachPolicy(policy);
- To create or attach policies, you must have all features and the policy type enabled.
Tagging resources
To tag a resource you may follow the AWS CDK Developer Guide - Tagging:
You can add one or more tags to the following resources in AWS Organizations.
- Account
- Organization root
- Organizational unit (OU)
- Policy
See Tagging AWS Organizations resources, ITaggableResource
Tagging an organization's root
import { Tags } from "aws-cdk-lib";
const organization = new Organization();
Tags.of(organization.root).add("key", "value");
Tagging an organizational unit (OU)
import { Tags } from "aws-cdk-lib";
const organizationalUnit = new OrganizationalUnit();
Tags.of(organizationalUnit).add("key", "value");
Tagging an account
import { Tags } from "aws-cdk-lib";
const account = new Account();
Tags.of(account).add("key", "value");
Tagging a policy
import { Tags } from "aws-cdk-lib";
const policy = new Policy();
Tags.of(policy).add("key", "value");
Limitations
AWS Organizations has some limitations:
- 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 to only one organization within a single root.
- Quotas for AWS Organizations
AWS Organizations is a global service with service endpoints in
us-east-1
,us-gov-west-1
andcn-northwest-1
. Read also Endpoint to call When using the AWS CLI or the AWS SDK. Currently all custom resources of this library are hard set to useus-east-1
.
