ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
@aws-cdk/aws-ssm
Advanced tools
@aws-cdk/aws-ssm is an AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) library that allows you to interact with AWS Systems Manager (SSM) services. It provides constructs for defining and managing SSM parameters, documents, and associations within your CDK applications.
Create SSM Parameter
This feature allows you to create a new SSM parameter. The code sample demonstrates how to create a string parameter named 'myParameter' with the value 'myValue'.
const ssm = require('@aws-cdk/aws-ssm');
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'MyStack');
new ssm.StringParameter(stack, 'MyParameter', {
parameterName: 'myParameter',
stringValue: 'myValue',
});
app.synth();
Retrieve SSM Parameter
This feature allows you to retrieve an existing SSM parameter. The code sample demonstrates how to retrieve a string parameter named 'myParameter' and log its value.
const ssm = require('@aws-cdk/aws-ssm');
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'MyStack');
const parameter = ssm.StringParameter.fromStringParameterName(stack, 'MyParameter', 'myParameter');
console.log(parameter.stringValue);
Create SSM Document
This feature allows you to create a new SSM document. The code sample demonstrates how to create a document with a shell script that echoes 'Hello World'.
const ssm = require('@aws-cdk/aws-ssm');
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const app = new cdk.App();
const stack = new cdk.Stack(app, 'MyStack');
new ssm.CfnDocument(stack, 'MyDocument', {
content: JSON.stringify({
schemaVersion: '2.2',
description: 'My SSM Document',
mainSteps: [
{
action: 'aws:runShellScript',
name: 'exampleStep',
inputs: {
runCommand: ['echo Hello World']
}
}
]
}),
documentType: 'Command'
});
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 SSM. Unlike @aws-cdk/aws-ssm, which is focused on infrastructure as code, aws-sdk is more general-purpose and can be used for a wide range of AWS service interactions.
The serverless-ssm-fetch package is a Serverless Framework plugin that allows you to fetch SSM parameters and use them in your serverless applications. It is more specialized than @aws-cdk/aws-ssm and is designed specifically for use with the Serverless Framework.
The ssm-parameter-store package is a lightweight library for interacting with AWS SSM Parameter Store. It provides a simple API for getting and setting parameters, but lacks the broader infrastructure management capabilities of @aws-cdk/aws-ssm.
This module is part of the AWS Cloud Development Kit project.
0.11.0 (2018-10-11)
IMPORTANT NOTE: This release includes a breaking change in the toolkit <=> app protocol. This means that in order to synthesize CDK apps that use this version, the globally installed CDK toolkit must also be updated:
$ npm i -g aws-cdk
$ cdk --version
0.11.0 (build ...)
Like always, you will also need to update your project's library versions:
Language | Update?
--------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JavaScript/TypeScript (npm) | npx npm-check-updates -u
Java (maven) | mvn versions:use-latest-versions
.NET (NuGet) | nuget update
framework: The cdk.App
constructor doesn't accept any arguments, and app.run()
does not return a string
anymore. All AWS CDK apps in all languages would need to be modified to adhere to the new API of the cdk.App
construct.
Instead of:
const app = new App(process.argv); // ERROR
// add stacks
process.stdout.write(app.run()); // ERROR
The new usage is:
const app = new App();
// add stacks
app.run();
framework: The CDK is no longer shipped with built-in support for JSX. You can still use JSX but you will have to manually configure it.
aws-iam: PolicyDocument
, PolicyStatement
and all PolicyPrincipal
classes moved from the @aws-cdk/cdk module and into the @aws-cdk/aws-iam module.
aws-codepipeline-api: Artifact.subartifact
method of the CodePipeline API was renamed to Artifact.atPath
.
constructor signature of TagManager
has changed. initialTags
is now passed inside a props object.
util: @aws-cdk/util is no longer available
aws-elasticloadbalancingv2: Adds classes for modeling Application and Network Load Balancers. AutoScalingGroups now implement the interface that makes constructs a load balancing target. The breaking change is that Security Group rule identifiers have been changed in order to make adding rules more reliable. No code changes are necessary but existing deployments may experience unexpected changes.
aws-cloudformation: this renames all CloudFormation Actions for CodePipeline to bring them in line with Actions defined in other service packages.
aws-codepipeline, aws-codecommit, aws-s3: change the names of the source Actions from XxxSource to XxxSourceAction. This is to align them with the other Actions, like Build. Also, CodeBuild has the concept of Sources, so it makes sense to strongly differentiate between the two.
