Cloudflare Adds Security.txt Setup Wizard
Cloudflare has launched a setup wizard allowing users to easily create and manage a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure on their websites.
@aws-cdk/aws-events
Advanced tools
@aws-cdk/aws-events is an AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) library that allows you to define and manage Amazon EventBridge resources using code. EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easier to build event-driven applications by connecting application data from your own applications, integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and AWS services.
Creating an Event Bus
This code sample demonstrates how to create a new EventBridge event bus using the AWS CDK. The event bus can be used to receive and route events.
const events = require('@aws-cdk/aws-events');
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'EventBusStack');
const eventBus = new events.EventBus(stack, 'MyEventBus', {
eventBusName: 'my-event-bus'
});
app.synth();
Creating a Rule
This code sample demonstrates how to create an EventBridge rule that triggers when an EC2 instance changes state to 'running'. The rule targets a Lambda function.
const events = require('@aws-cdk/aws-events');
const targets = require('@aws-cdk/aws-events-targets');
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'EventRuleStack');
const rule = new events.Rule(stack, 'MyRule', {
eventPattern: {
source: ['aws.ec2'],
detailType: ['EC2 Instance State-change Notification'],
detail: {
state: ['running']
}
}
});
rule.addTarget(new targets.LambdaFunction(myLambdaFunction));
app.synth();
Scheduling Events
This code sample demonstrates how to create a scheduled EventBridge rule that triggers every 5 minutes. The rule targets a Lambda function.
const events = require('@aws-cdk/aws-events');
const targets = require('@aws-cdk/aws-events-targets');
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'ScheduledEventStack');
const rule = new events.Rule(stack, 'MyScheduledRule', {
schedule: events.Schedule.rate(cdk.Duration.minutes(5))
});
rule.addTarget(new targets.LambdaFunction(myLambdaFunction));
app.synth();
The aws-sdk package is the official AWS SDK for JavaScript, which provides a comprehensive set of tools for interacting with AWS services, including EventBridge. Unlike @aws-cdk/aws-events, which is used for defining infrastructure as code, aws-sdk is used for making API calls to AWS services.
The serverless framework is a popular open-source framework for building and deploying serverless applications. It supports AWS Lambda and EventBridge, among other services. While @aws-cdk/aws-events focuses on infrastructure as code, serverless provides a higher-level abstraction for deploying serverless applications.
Pulumi is an infrastructure as code tool that supports multiple cloud providers, including AWS. It allows you to define and manage cloud resources using familiar programming languages. Pulumi can be used to manage EventBridge resources similarly to @aws-cdk/aws-events, but it offers a different approach and supports multiple clouds.
Amazon EventBridge delivers a near real-time stream of system events that describe changes in AWS resources. For example, an AWS CodePipeline emits the State Change event when the pipeline changes it's state.
The Rule
construct defines an EventBridge rule which monitors an
event based on an event
pattern
and invoke event targets when the pattern is matched against a triggered
event. Event targets are objects that implement the IRuleTarget
interface.
Normally, you will use one of the source.onXxx(name[, target[, options]]) -> Rule
methods on the event source to define an event rule associated with
the specific activity. You can targets either via props, or add targets using
rule.addTarget
.
For example, to define an rule that triggers a CodeBuild project build when a commit is pushed to the "master" branch of a CodeCommit repository:
const onCommitRule = repo.onCommit('OnCommit', {
target: new targets.CodeBuildProject(project),
branches: ['master']
});
You can add additional targets, with optional input
transformer
using eventRule.addTarget(target[, input])
. For example, we can add a SNS
topic target which formats a human-readable message for the commit.
For example, this adds an SNS topic as a target:
onCommitRule.addTarget(new targets.SnsTopic(topic, {
message: events.RuleTargetInput.fromText(
`A commit was pushed to the repository ${codecommit.ReferenceEvent.repositoryName} on branch ${codecommit.ReferenceEvent.referenceName}`
)
}));
You can configure a Rule to run on a schedule (cron or rate).
The following example runs a task every day at 4am:
import { Rule, Schedule } from '@aws-cdk/aws-events';
import { EcsTask } from '@aws-cdk/aws-events-targets';
...
const ecsTaskTarget = new EcsTask({ cluster, taskDefinition, role });
new Rule(this, 'ScheduleRule', {
schedule: Schedule.cron({ minute: '0', hour: '4' }),
targets: [ecsTaskTarget],
});
More details in ScheduledEvents documentation page.
The @aws-cdk/aws-events-targets
module includes classes that implement the IRuleTarget
interface for various AWS services.
The following targets are supported:
targets.CodeBuildProject
: Start an AWS CodeBuild buildtargets.CodePipeline
: Start an AWS CodePipeline pipeline executiontargets.EcsTask
: Start a task on an Amazon ECS clustertargets.LambdaFunction
: Invoke an AWS Lambda functiontargets.SnsTopic
: Publish into an SNS topictargets.SqsQueue
: Send a message to an Amazon SQS Queuetargets.SfnStateMachine
: Trigger an AWS Step Functions state machinetargets.BatchJob
: Queue an AWS Batch Jobtargets.AwsApi
: Make an AWS API callIt's possible to have the source of the event and a target in separate AWS accounts:
import { App, Stack } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import * as codebuild from '@aws-cdk/aws-codebuild';
import * as codecommit from '@aws-cdk/aws-codecommit';
import * as targets from '@aws-cdk/aws-events-targets';
const app = new App();
const stack1 = new Stack(app, 'Stack1', { env: { account: account1, region: 'us-east-1' } });
const repo = new codecommit.Repository(stack1, 'Repository', {
// ...
});
const stack2 = new Stack(app, 'Stack2', { env: { account: account2, region: 'us-east-1' } });
const project = new codebuild.Project(stack2, 'Project', {
// ...
});
repo.onCommit('OnCommit', {
target: new targets.CodeBuildProject(project),
});
In this situation, the CDK will wire the 2 accounts together:
Note: while events can span multiple accounts, they cannot span different regions (that is an EventBridge, not CDK, limitation).
For more information, see the AWS documentation on cross-account events.
