Pipeline times out at AuditManagerEnableOrganizationAdminAccount on eu-west-3

[zaid-themedcompany]

Describe the bug When running LZA for healthcare configuration here and I deploy the solution to eu-west-3 (Paris) then the AWSAccelerator-Pipeline fails in the Organization stage and stack AWSAccelerator-OrganizationsStack-xxxxx-eu-west-3 runs till it times out, and fails to create logical Id AuditManagerEnableOrganizationAdminAccount

Is this happening config used for lza healthcare required Audit manager service which isn't available in Paris eu-west-3?

To Reproduce Run the lza with the healthcare configuration (excerpt below)

Additional context

[zaid-themedcompany]

Also deleting the stack takes ages, I suppose again because there is no AWS Audit manager in eu-west-3?

[zaid-themedcompany]

I tried a workaround to exclude Paris region from the audit Manager in security-config.yaml, but no luck:

  auditManager:
    enable: true
    excludeRegions:
      - eu-west-3

I also tried exclude Paris from the awsConfig using the following:

awsConfig:
  excludeRegions:
    - eu-west-3

But got the following error in the pipeline in Security_Resources stage and the stack AWSAccelerator-SecurityResourcesStack-xxxxx-eu-west-3

"Invalid request provided: NoAvailableConfigurationRecorder"

I can't say regarding the main issue, but we also ran into the NoAvailableConfigurationRecorder. This was mainly due to enabling a new region in Control Tower but not updating enrolled accounts. This leads to AWS Config in the new regions to not be initialized. The fix was to simply update enrolled accounts through Control Tower.
