AWS Organizations L2s

I'd like to have AWS Organizations in CDK in order to automate the creation of the accounts, permissions etc!

What exactly would the use cases be? Can you elaborate? Not many things in organizations are in CFN.

I was thinking on not having to create accounts manually and since I'm already using CDK I would like to go with CDK instead of going for the API.

It's nothing super urgent or whatever, I guess that if there is no CFN support from Organizations then there's little that can be done

For creating accounts I think one thing could be a step function (deployed using CDK) that can be used to create accounts. That would be as far as you can get I think. You could then use this as a custom resource. But beware that you cannot simply delete accounts.

I know many federal government agencies that would use this!

step functions are what I was thinking too. (Understand and ignoring deleting org accounts).
However step function are not FedRAMP yet....
