InfrastructureUpdate type OU called Infrastructure in Active Directory

A new OU called infrastructure with the type infrastructureUpdate has appeared in my Active Directory.

what I am seeing

It has just appeared. I have been going through the setup recently and the last major thing I have probably done is configure WSUS. Can someone explain what this is and if I should be worried? My first thought was a Phantom OU but the fact it does not have the correct icon worries me.
I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Ed

Nothing to do with WSUS. You're probably seeing this due to you have View > Advanced selected.

InfrastructureUpdate object holds the infrastructure master for the domain.
