A company's solutions architect is designing an AWS multi-account solution that uses AWS Organizations.

Understanding the Requirement: The company needs to monitor and notify changes to the OU hierarchy with minimal operational overhead.

Analysis of Options:

AWS Control Tower with Account Drift Notifications: AWS Control Tower provides automated account provisioning and governance, including drift detection and notifications for changes in the OU hierarchy.

AWS Control Tower with AWS Config: AWS Config provides resource configuration tracking but is more complex compared to drift notifications directly available in Control Tower.

AWS Service Catalog with CloudTrail: While CloudTrail tracks changes, setting up notification mechanisms involves more operational overhead.

AWS CloudFormation with Drift Detection: Suitable for tracking configuration changes but less efficient for monitoring OU hierarchy changes compared to Control Tower's built-in features.

Best Solution:

AWS Control Tower with Account Drift Notifications: Provides a streamlined and efficient way to detect and notify changes in the OU hierarchy with minimal operational overhead.
