Cloudformation-coverage-roadmap: Organizations pseudo parameters

[rjpereira]

1. Title

Add a variable AWS::OrganizationId to refer to the organisation of the current account.
Not sure of what the default behaviour should be if account not in organization, but failure or empty both seem possible.

2. Scope of request

The variable should be available for the template

3. Expected behavior

AWS::OrganizationId, would return the ID of the Organization of the account if defined or empty otherwise.

4. Suggest specific test cases

If account in organisation returned value should match what is seen in interface.
If account not in organisation, value should return empty.

5. Helpful Links to speed up research and evaluation

OrganizationalUnit as well

Requested 18 months ago, this would be a much easier solution than having to pass Org Id in as a parameter to templates.

This would really help Control Tower deployments.
