AWS CDK Construct Library to manage specific AWS Organization resources

cdk-library-aws-organization

This CDK library is a WIP and not ready for production use.

Key challenges with Organizations

• Accounts aren't like AWS resources and the removal process isn't a simple delete. Therefore the constructs contained in this library do not have the goal to delete accounts.
• CloudFormation doesn't support Organizations directly so the constructs in this library use CloudFormation custom resources that utilize Python and Boto3

Testing the custom provider code with SAM CLI

• Create a test project that utilizes this library
• Create a test stack
• Synthesize the test stack with cdk synth --no-staging > template.yml
• Get the function name from the template
• Run sam local start-lambda -t template.yml
• Run the handler_tests python files with pytest like follows:

LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME='<name you noted earlier>' pytest ./handler_tests/<handler>/test.py -rA --capture=sys

• The test.py also looks up the root org id to run tests so you'll need to have AWS creds set up to accomodate that behavior.
• You can run the provided tests against the real lambda function by getting the deployed function name from AWS and setting the RUN_LOCALLY env variable

RUN_LOCALLY='false' LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME='<name from AWS>' pytest ./handler_tests/<handler>/test.py -rA --capture=sys
