Package software.amazon.awscdk.appdelivery Description

Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery for CDK Applications

---

Deprecated

This API may emit warnings. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed.


This library includes a CodePipeline composite Action for deploying AWS CDK Applications.

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

Replacement recommended

This library has been deprecated. We recommend you use the @aws-cdk/pipelines module instead.

Limitations

The construct library in it's current form has the following limitations:

  1. It can only deploy stacks that are hosted in the same AWS account and region as the CodePipeline is.
  2. Stacks that make use of Assets cannot be deployed successfully.

Getting Started

In order to add the PipelineDeployStackAction to your CodePipeline, you need to have a CodePipeline artifact that contains the result of invoking cdk synth -o <dir> on your CDK App. You can for example achieve this using a CodeBuild project.

The example below defines a CDK App that contains 3 stacks:

buildspec.yml

The repository can contain a file at the root level named buildspec.yml, or you can in-line the buildspec. Note that buildspec.yaml is not compatible.

For example, a TypeScript or Javascript CDK App can add the following buildspec.yml at the root of the repository:

 version: 0.2
 phases:
   install:
     commands:
       # Installs the npm dependencies as defined by the `package.json` file
       # present in the root directory of the package
       # (`cdk init app --language=typescript` would have created one for you)
       - npm install
   build:
     commands:
       # Builds the CDK App so it can be synthesized
       - npm run build
       # Synthesizes the CDK App and puts the resulting artifacts into `dist`
       - npm run cdk synth -- -o dist
 artifacts:
   # The output artifact is all the files in the `dist` directory
   base-directory: dist
   files: '** /*'
 

The PipelineDeployStackAction expects it's input to contain the result of synthesizing a CDK App using the cdk synth -o <directory>.
