AWS CDK
The AWS Cloud Development Kit, an infrastructure-as-code framework provided by AWS that allows developers to define and provision cloud infrastructure resources using mainstream programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, Java, and C#. It synthesizes AWS CloudFormation templates from code, enabling version-controlled and reusable infrastructure definitions.

The core idea of the CDK event-driven automation approach is to treat the appearance of new accounts or changes in authorization needs as events that trigger processing, rather than relying on manually running scripts periodically.
The script approach is a pull model, requiring someone to execute it periodically and determine on their own which accounts are missing; event-driven is a push model, automatically aligning as soon as account status changes.
For scenarios with static accounts and few changes, the script approach is sufficient and has the lowest maintenance cost; for scenarios with continuously added accounts and frequent authorization adjustments, the CDK event-driven approach can avoid repeated rework and is more worry-free in the long run; during the transition period, you can first use scripts to clean up the existing accounts, then gradually bring new accounts into the automated pipeline.
The official AWS blog gives two ways to batch-activate MPPO entitlements in AWS License Manager: a lightweight script for one-time remediation, and CDK event-driven automation for continuous operations.
In a CDK event-driven architecture, the event source usually comes from AWS Organizations; when a new account is created within the organization, an account is moved into a certain OU, or an organization-level policy changes, Organizations emits an event, which is routed via Amazon EventBridge to processing logic (such as a Lambda function), which then calls License Manager APIs to complete MPPO activation.
Mainstream IaC tools include HashiCorp Terraform, AWS CloudFormation/CDK, and others.
