GCP create organization from command line or through API

Question

Is there a way to create organizations programmatically in GCP using gcloud command or an API. I have several small orgs under which there are departments and then teams and finally products(projects). I wanted to have clean inheritance for security policies, standards, shared storage which could be defined at top level and applied across projects and also I wanted to have billing metrics at org level, so that it can be easily tracked where the spending is going..

Answer 1

Organization can be created only on console , although in the documentation for gcloud organizations command description is:

create and manage Google Cloud Platform Organizations

but there is no command for create.

Looking at your example I don't think that maintaining of several organization is good idea, as in another doc I found that:

The Organization resource is the root node

Which, I understand, is meant to be only one.

However, I suggest to use concept of "folder" which is described here. This concept is designed to create organization structure, and there is both API and for creation of folders .
