To retrieve a list of the OUs in a parent OU or root

The following example shows you how to get a list of OUs in a specified root:

aws organizations list-organizational-units-for-parent --parent-id r-examplerootid111

The output shows that the specified root contains two OUs and shows details of each:

{
        "OrganizationalUnits": [
                {
                        "Name": "AccountingDepartment",
                        "Arn": "arn:aws:organizations::o-exampleorgid:ou/r-examplerootid111/ou-examplerootid111-exampleouid111"
                },
                {
                        "Name": "ProductionDepartment",
                        "Arn": "arn:aws:organizations::o-exampleorgid:ou/r-examplerootid111/ou-examplerootid111-exampleouid222"
                }
        ]
