LegacyStackSynthesizer

class aws_cdk.LegacyStackSynthesizer

Bases: StackSynthesizer

Use the CDK classic way of referencing assets.

This synthesizer will generate CloudFormation parameters for every referenced asset, and use the CLI’s current credentials to deploy the stack.

  • It does not support cross-account deployment (the CLI must have credentials to the account you are trying to deploy to).

  • It cannot be used with CDK Pipelines. To deploy using CDK Pipelines, you must use the DefaultStackSynthesizer.

  • Each asset will take up a CloudFormation Parameter in your template. Keep in mind that there is a maximum of 200 parameters in a CloudFormation template. To use deterministic asset locations instead, use CliCredentialsStackSynthesizer.

Be aware that your CLI credentials must be valid for the duration of the entire deployment. If you are using session credentials, make sure the session lifetime is long enough.

This is the only StackSynthesizer that supports customizing asset behavior by overriding Stack.addFileAsset() and Stack.addDockerImageAsset().

Methods

add_docker_image_asset(*, source_hash, asset_name=None, directory_name=None, docker_build_args=None, docker_build_secrets=None, docker_build_target=None, docker_cache_from=None, docker_cache_to=None, docker_file=None, docker_outputs=None, executable=None, network_mode=None, platform=None)

Register a Docker Image Asset.

Returns the parameters that can be used to refer to the asset inside the template.

The synthesizer must rely on some out-of-band mechanism to make sure the given files are actually placed in the returned location before the deployment happens. This can be by writing the instructions to the asset manifest (for use by the cdk-assets tool), by relying on the CLI to upload files (legacy behavior), or some other operator controlled mechanism.

Parameters:

  • source_hash (str) – The hash of the contents of the docker build context. This hash is used throughout the system to identify this image and avoid duplicate work in case the source did not change. NOTE: this means that if you wish to update your docker image, you must make a modification to the source (e.g. add some metadata to your Dockerfile).

  • asset_name (Optional[str]) – Unique identifier of the docker image asset and its potential revisions. Required if using AppScopedStagingSynthesizer. Default: - no asset name

  • directory_name (Optional[str]) – The directory where the Dockerfile is stored, must be relative to the cloud assembly root. Default: - Exactly one of directoryName and executable is required

  • docker_build_args (Optional[Mapping[str, str]]) – Build args to pass to the docker build command. Since Docker build arguments are resolved before deployment, keys and values cannot refer to unresolved tokens (such as lambda.functionArn or queue.queueUrl). Only allowed when directoryName is specified. Default: - no build args are passed

  • docker_build_secrets (Optional[Mapping[str, str]]) – Build secrets to pass to the docker build command. Since Docker build secrets are resolved before deployment, keys and values cannot refer to unresolved tokens (such as lambda.functionArn or queue.queueUrl). Only allowed when directoryName is specified. Default: - no build secrets are passed

  • docker_build_target (Optional[str]) – Docker target to build to. Only allowed when directoryName is specified. Default: - no target

  • docker_cache_from (Optional[Sequence[Union[DockerCacheOption, Dict[str, Any]]]]) – Cache from options to pass to the docker build command. Default: - no cache from args are passed

  • docker_cache_to (Union[DockerCacheOption, Dict[str, Any], None]) – Cache to options to pass to the docker build command. Default: - no cache to args are passed

  • docker_file (Optional[str]) – Path to the Dockerfile (relative to the directory). Only allowed when directoryName is specified. Default: - no file

  • docker_outputs (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – Outputs to pass to the docker build command. Default: - no build args are passed

  • executable (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – An external command that will produce the packaged asset. The command should produce the name of a local Docker image on stdout. Default: - Exactly one of directoryName and executable is required

  • network_mode (Optional[str]) – Networking mode for the RUN commands during build. Requires Docker Engine API v1.25+. Specify this property to build images on a specific networking mode. Default: - no networking mode specified

  • platform (Optional[str]) – Platform to build for. Requires Docker Buildx. Specify this property to build images on a specific platform. Default: - no platform specified (the current machine architecture will be used)

Return type:

DockerImageAssetLocation

add_file_asset(*, source_hash, deploy_time=None, executable=None, file_name=None, packaging=None)

Register a File Asset.

Returns the parameters that can be used to refer to the asset inside the template.

The synthesizer must rely on some out-of-band mechanism to make sure the given files are actually placed in the returned location before the deployment happens. This can be by writing the instructions to the asset manifest (for use by the cdk-assets tool), by relying on the CLI to upload files (legacy behavior), or some other operator controlled mechanism.

Parameters:

  • source_hash (str) – A hash on the content source. This hash is used to uniquely identify this asset throughout the system. If this value doesn’t change, the asset will not be rebuilt or republished.

  • deploy_time (Optional[bool]) – Whether or not the asset needs to exist beyond deployment time; i.e. are copied over to a different location and not needed afterwards. Setting this property to true has an impact on the lifecycle of the asset, because we will assume that it is safe to delete after the CloudFormation deployment succeeds. For example, Lambda Function assets are copied over to Lambda during deployment. Therefore, it is not necessary to store the asset in S3, so we consider those deployTime assets. Default: false

  • executable (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – An external command that will produce the packaged asset. The command should produce the location of a ZIP file on stdout. Default: - Exactly one of fileName and executable is required

  • file_name (Optional[str]) – The path, relative to the root of the cloud assembly, in which this asset source resides. This can be a path to a file or a directory, depending on the packaging type. Default: - Exactly one of fileName and executable is required

  • packaging (Optional[FileAssetPackaging]) – Which type of packaging to perform. Default: - Required if fileName is specified.

Return type:

FileAssetLocation
