Bases: object

Properties for AwsCustomResource.

Note that at least onCreate, onUpdate or onDelete must be specified.

Parameters:
  • function_name (Optional[str]) – A name for the singleton Lambda function implementing this custom resource. The function name will remain the same after the first AwsCustomResource is created in a stack. Default: - AWS CloudFormation generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the function’s name. For more information, see Name Type.

  • install_latest_aws_sdk (Optional[bool]) – Whether to install the latest AWS SDK v2. If not specified, this uses whatever JavaScript SDK version is the default in AWS Lambda at the time of execution. Otherwise, installs the latest version from ‘npmjs.com’. The installation takes around 60 seconds and requires internet connectivity. The default can be controlled using the context key @aws-cdk/customresources:installLatestAwsSdkDefault is. Default: - The value of @aws-cdk/customresources:installLatestAwsSdkDefault, otherwise true

  • log_group (Optional[ILogGroup]) – The Log Group used for logging of events emitted by the custom resource’s lambda function. Providing a user-controlled log group was rolled out to commercial regions on 2023-11-16. If you are deploying to another type of region, please check regional availability first. Default: - a default log group created by AWS Lambda

  • log_retention (Optional[RetentionDays]) – The number of days log events of the singleton Lambda function implementing this custom resource are kept in CloudWatch Logs. This is a legacy API and we strongly recommend you migrate to logGroup if you can. logGroup allows you to create a fully customizable log group and instruct the Lambda function to send logs to it. Default: logs.RetentionDays.INFINITE

  • memory_size (Union[int, float, None]) – The memory size for the singleton Lambda function implementing this custom resource. Default: 512 mega in case if installLatestAwsSdk is false.

  • on_create (Union[AwsSdkCall, Dict[str, Any], None]) – The AWS SDK call to make when the resource is created. Default: - the call when the resource is updated

  • on_delete (Union[AwsSdkCall, Dict[str, Any], None]) – The AWS SDK call to make when the resource is deleted. Default: - no call

  • on_update (Union[AwsSdkCall, Dict[str, Any], None]) – The AWS SDK call to make when the resource is updated. Default: - no call

  • policy (Optional[AwsCustomResourcePolicy]) – The policy that will be added to the execution role of the Lambda function implementing this custom resource provider. The custom resource also implements iam.IGrantable, making it possible to use the grantXxx() methods. As this custom resource uses a singleton Lambda function, it’s important to note the that function’s role will eventually accumulate the permissions/grants from all resources. Note that a policy must be specified if role is not provided, as by default a new role is created which requires policy changes to access resources. Default: - no policy added

  • removal_policy (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) – The policy to apply when this resource is removed from the application. Default: cdk.RemovalPolicy.Destroy

  • resource_type (Optional[str]) – Cloudformation Resource type. Default: - Custom::AWS

  • role (Optional[IRole]) – The execution role for the singleton Lambda function implementing this custom resource provider. This role will apply to all AwsCustomResource instances in the stack. The role must be assumable by the lambda.amazonaws.com service principal. Default: - a new role is created

  • timeout (Optional[Duration]) – The timeout for the singleton Lambda function implementing this custom resource. Default: Duration.minutes(2)

  • vpc (Optional[IVpc]) – The vpc to provision the lambda function in. Default: - the function is not provisioned inside a vpc.

  • vpc_subnets (Union[SubnetSelection, Dict[str, Any], None]) – Which subnets from the VPC to place the lambda function in. Only used if ‘vpc’ is supplied. Note: internet access for Lambdas requires a NAT gateway, so picking Public subnets is not allowed. Default: - the Vpc default strategy if not specified
