CDK Constructs for AWS CloudFormation

This module is part of the AWS Cloud Development Kit project.

CodePipeline Actions for CloudFormation

This module contains Actions that allows you to deploy to CloudFormation from AWS CodePipeline.

For example, the following code fragment defines a pipeline that automatically deploys a CloudFormation template directly from a CodeCommit repository, with a manual approval step in between to confirm the changes:

example Pipeline to deploy CloudFormation

See the AWS documentation for more details about using CloudFormation in CodePipeline.

Actions defined by this package

This package defines the following actions:

  • PipelineCreateUpdateStackAction - Deploy a CloudFormation template directly from the pipeline. The indicated stack is created, or updated if it already exists. If the stack is in a failure state, deployment will fail (unless replaceOnFailure is set to true, in which case it will be destroyed and recreated).
  • PipelineDeleteStackAction - Delete the stack with the given name.
  • PipelineCreateReplaceChangeSetAction - Prepare a change set to be applied later. You will typically use change sets if you want to manually verify the changes that are being staged, or if you want to separate the people (or system) preparing the changes from the people (or system) applying the changes.
  • PipelineExecuteChangeSetAction - Execute a change set prepared previously.

Custom Resources

Custom Resources are CloudFormation resources that are implemented by arbitrary user code. They can do arbitrary lookups or modifications during a CloudFormation synthesis run.

You will typically use Lambda to implement a Construct implemented as a Custom Resource (though SNS topics can be used as well). Your Lambda function will be sent a CREATE, UPDATE or DELETE message, depending on the CloudFormation life cycle, and can return any number of output values which will be available as attributes of your Construct. In turn, those can be used as input to other Constructs in your model.

In general, consumers of your Construct will not need to care whether it is implemented in term of other CloudFormation resources or as a custom resource.

Note: when implementing your Custom Resource using a Lambda, use a SingletonLambda so that even if your custom resource is instantiated multiple times, the Lambda will only get uploaded once.

Example

Sample of a Custom Resource that copies files into an S3 bucket during deployment (implementation of actual copy.py operation elided).

interface CopyOperationProps {
    sourceBucket: IBucket;
    targetBucket: IBucket;
}

class CopyOperation extends Construct {
    constructor(parent: Construct, name: string, props: DemoResourceProps) {
        super(parent, name);

        const lambdaProvider = new SingletonLambda(this, 'Provider', {
            uuid: 'f7d4f730-4ee1-11e8-9c2d-fa7ae01bbebc',
            code: new LambdaInlineCode(resources['copy.py']),
            handler: 'index.handler',
            timeout: 60,
            runtime: LambdaRuntime.Python3,
        });

        new CustomResource(this, 'Resource', {
            lambdaProvider,
            properties: {
                sourceBucketArn: props.sourceBucket.bucketArn,
                targetBucketArn: props.targetBucket.bucketArn,
            }
        });
    }
}

More examples are in the example directory, including an example of how to use the cfnresponse module that is provided for you by CloudFormation.
