#CDK flow:
- Create a typescript project
- Create an App (extends cdk.App)
- Create one or more stacks(children of App in CDK terms)
- Each stack can have multiple resources like S3 bucket etc.
- To get a list of stacks:
cdk ls -l
- To generate CFN template, use CDK toolkit command
cdk synth <stackName>- You’ll see the template as the output in terminal
- To deploy your CDK app:
cdk deploy- This command invokes calls to Cloud formation service and creates/updates stacks using the default credentials & region in your machine
- Couldn’t see the template getting uploaded in an S3 bucket
- To assume a role from the Sandbox account:
- We need to set some AWS environment variables to force CDK to use these env vars instead of the default profile from
~/.aws/credentialsor~/.aws/config - Pre-requisites:
- A role
role/AdminRoleexists in your sandbox account that can be assumed by your default credentials - You've exported your sandbox account id with:
export AWS_ACCOUNT_ID=<Sandbox account id>
- A role
- Execute the following:
source ./assume-role.sh- All the required env vars should have been exported
- Check by executing:
env | grep AWS
- Now, all cdk commands would use the temporary credentials exported as env vars
- Execute cdk commands as you would normally.
