Properties

analyticsReporting?: boolean

Include runtime versioning information in this Stack

Default

analyticsReporting setting of containing App, or value of 'aws:cdk:version-reporting' context key

app?: string

Optional name of the app. If defined, all resources will have an App tag.

cloudFormationStackName?: string

The AWS CloudFormation stack name (as shown in the AWS CloudFormation UI).

Default Value

the GU_CFN_STACK_NAME environment variable

crossRegionReferences?: boolean

Enable this flag to allow native cross region stack references.

Enabling this will create a CloudFormation custom resource in both the producing stack and consuming stack in order to perform the export/import

This feature is currently experimental

Default

false
description?: string

A description of the stack.

Default

- No description.
env?: Environment

The AWS environment (account/region) where this stack will be deployed.

Set the region/account fields of env to either a concrete value to select the indicated environment (recommended for production stacks), or to the values of environment variables CDK_DEFAULT_REGION/CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT to let the target environment depend on the AWS credentials/configuration that the CDK CLI is executed under (recommended for development stacks).

If the Stack is instantiated inside a Stage, any undefined region/account fields from env will default to the same field on the encompassing Stage, if configured there.

If either region or account are not set nor inherited from Stage, the Stack will be considered "environment-agnostic"". Environment-agnostic stacks can be deployed to any environment but may not be able to take advantage of all features of the CDK. For example, they will not be able to use environmental context lookups such as ec2.Vpc.fromLookup and will not automatically translate Service Principals to the right format based on the environment's AWS partition, and other such enhancements.

Example

// Use a concrete account and region to deploy this stack to:
// `.account` and `.region` will simply return these values.
new Stack(app, 'Stack1', {
env: {
account: '123456789012',
region: 'us-east-1'
},
});

// Use the CLI's current credentials to determine the target environment:
// `.account` and `.region` will reflect the account+region the CLI
// is configured to use (based on the user CLI credentials)
new Stack(app, 'Stack2', {
env: {
account: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT,
region: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_REGION
},
});

// Define multiple stacks stage associated with an environment
const myStage = new Stage(app, 'MyStage', {
env: {
account: '123456789012',
region: 'us-east-1'
}
});

// both of these stacks will use the stage's account/region:
// `.account` and `.region` will resolve to the concrete values as above
new MyStack(myStage, 'Stack1');
new YourStack(myStage, 'Stack2');

// Define an environment-agnostic stack:
// `.account` and `.region` will resolve to `{ "Ref": "AWS::AccountId" }` and `{ "Ref": "AWS::Region" }` respectively.
// which will only resolve to actual values by CloudFormation during deployment.
new MyStack(app, 'Stack1');

Default

  • The environment of the containing Stage if available, otherwise create the stack will be environment-agnostic.
permissionsBoundary?: PermissionsBoundary

Options for applying a permissions boundary to all IAM Roles and Users created within this Stage

Default

- no permissions boundary is applied
stack: string

The Guardian stack being used (as defined in your riff-raff.yaml). This will be applied as a tag to all of your resources.

stage: string

The stage being used (as defined in your riff-raff.yaml). This will be applied as a tag to all of your resources.

suppressTemplateIndentation?: boolean

Enable this flag to suppress indentation in generated CloudFormation templates.

If not specified, the value of the @aws-cdk/core:suppressTemplateIndentation context key will be used. If that is not specified, then the default value false will be used.

Default

  • the value of @aws-cdk/core:suppressTemplateIndentation, or false if that is not set.
synthesizer?: IStackSynthesizer

Synthesis method to use while deploying this stack

The Stack Synthesizer controls aspects of synthesis and deployment, like how assets are referenced and what IAM roles to use. For more information, see the README of the main CDK package.

If not specified, the defaultStackSynthesizer from App will be used. If that is not specified, DefaultStackSynthesizer is used if @aws-cdk/core:newStyleStackSynthesis is set to true or the CDK major version is v2. In CDK v1 LegacyStackSynthesizer is the default if no other synthesizer is specified.

Default

  • The synthesizer specified on App, or DefaultStackSynthesizer otherwise.
tags?: {
    [key: string]: string;
}

Stack tags that will be applied to all the taggable resources and the stack itself.

Type declaration

  • [key: string]: string

Default

{}
terminationProtection?: boolean

Whether to enable termination protection for this stack.

Default

false
withBackup?: boolean

Set to enable all resources in the stack for backup provided by https://github.com/guardian/aws-backup.

Default

false - backups are not enabled

See

https://github.com/guardian/aws-backup

withoutMetadata?: boolean

Set to disable CDK metadata. Only for internal use (for disabling for some snapshot tests). We rely on tracking data to prioritise future work so please do not override this.

withoutTags?: boolean

Set this to true to stop the GuStack from tagging all of your AWS resources. This should only be turned on as part of an initial migration from CloudFormation.
