Constructs for deploying contents to S3 buckets
Project description
AWS S3 Deployment Construct Library
---AWS CDK v1 has reached End-of-Support on 2023-06-01. This package is no longer being updated, and users should migrate to AWS CDK v2.
For more information on how to migrate, see the Migrating to AWS CDK v2 guide.
This library allows populating an S3 bucket with the contents of .zip files from other S3 buckets or from local disk.
The following example defines a publicly accessible S3 bucket with web hosting enabled and populates it from a local directory on disk.
website_bucket = s3.Bucket(self, "WebsiteBucket",
website_index_document="index.html",
public_read_access=True
)
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "DeployWebsite",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset("./website-dist")],
destination_bucket=website_bucket,
destination_key_prefix="web/static"
)
This is what happens under the hood:
- When this stack is deployed (either via
cdk deploy
or via CI/CD), the contents of the localwebsite-dist
directory will be archived and uploaded to an intermediary assets bucket. If there is more than one source, they will be individually uploaded. - The
BucketDeployment
construct synthesizes a custom CloudFormation resource of typeCustom::CDKBucketDeployment
into the template. The source bucket/key is set to point to the assets bucket. - The custom resource downloads the .zip archive, extracts it and issues
aws s3 sync --delete
against the destination bucket (in this casewebsiteBucket
). If there is more than one source, the sources will be downloaded and merged pre-deployment at this step.
If you are referencing the filled bucket in another construct that depends on
the files already be there, be sure to use deployment.deployedBucket
. This
will ensure the bucket deployment has finished before the resource that uses
the bucket is created:
# website_bucket: s3.Bucket
deployment = s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "DeployWebsite",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset(path.join(__dirname, "my-website"))],
destination_bucket=website_bucket
)
ConstructThatReadsFromTheBucket(self, "Consumer", {
# Use 'deployment.deployedBucket' instead of 'websiteBucket' here
"bucket": deployment.deployed_bucket
})
Supported sources
The following source types are supported for bucket deployments:
- Local .zip file:
s3deploy.Source.asset('/path/to/local/file.zip')
- Local directory:
s3deploy.Source.asset('/path/to/local/directory')
- Another bucket:
s3deploy.Source.bucket(bucket, zipObjectKey)
- String data:
s3deploy.Source.data('object-key.txt', 'hello, world!')
(supports deploy-time values) - JSON data:
s3deploy.Source.jsonData('object-key.json', { json: 'object' })
(supports deploy-time values)
To create a source from a single file, you can pass AssetOptions
to exclude
all but a single file:
- Single file:
s3deploy.Source.asset('/path/to/local/directory', { exclude: ['**', '!onlyThisFile.txt'] })
IMPORTANT The aws-s3-deployment
module is only intended to be used with
zip files from trusted sources. Directories bundled by the CDK CLI (by using
Source.asset()
on a directory) are safe. If you are using Source.asset()
or
Source.bucket()
to reference an existing zip file, make sure you trust the
file you are referencing. Zips from untrusted sources might be able to execute
arbitrary code in the Lambda Function used by this module, and use its permissions
to read or write unexpected files in the S3 bucket.
Retain on Delete
By default, the contents of the destination bucket will not be deleted when the
BucketDeployment
resource is removed from the stack or when the destination is
changed. You can use the option retainOnDelete: false
to disable this behavior,
in which case the contents will be deleted.
Configuring this has a few implications you should be aware of:
-
Logical ID Changes
Changing the logical ID of the
BucketDeployment
construct, without changing the destination (for example due to refactoring, or intentional ID change) will result in the deletion of the objects. This is because CloudFormation will first create the new resource, which will have no affect, followed by a deletion of the old resource, which will cause a deletion of the objects, since the destination hasn't changed, andretainOnDelete
isfalse
. -
Destination Changes
When the destination bucket or prefix is changed, all files in the previous destination will first be deleted and then uploaded to the new destination location. This could have availability implications on your users.
General Recommendations
Shared Bucket
If the destination bucket is not dedicated to the specific BucketDeployment
construct (i.e shared by other entities),
we recommend to always configure the destinationKeyPrefix
property. This will prevent the deployment from
accidentally deleting data that wasn't uploaded by it.
Dedicated Bucket
If the destination bucket is dedicated, it might be reasonable to skip the prefix configuration,
in which case, we recommend to remove retainOnDelete: false
, and instead, configure the
autoDeleteObjects
property on the destination bucket. This will avoid the logical ID problem mentioned above.
Prune
By default, files in the destination bucket that don't exist in the source will be deleted
when the BucketDeployment
resource is created or updated. You can use the option prune: false
to disable
this behavior, in which case the files will not be deleted.
# destination_bucket: s3.Bucket
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "DeployMeWithoutDeletingFilesOnDestination",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset(path.join(__dirname, "my-website"))],
destination_bucket=destination_bucket,
prune=False
)
This option also enables you to multiple bucket deployments for the same destination bucket & prefix, each with its own characteristics. For example, you can set different cache-control headers based on file extensions:
# destination_bucket: s3.Bucket
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "BucketDeployment",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset("./website", exclude=["index.html"])],
destination_bucket=destination_bucket,
cache_control=[s3deploy.CacheControl.from_string("max-age=31536000,public,immutable")],
prune=False
)
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "HTMLBucketDeployment",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset("./website", exclude=["*", "!index.html"])],
destination_bucket=destination_bucket,
cache_control=[s3deploy.CacheControl.from_string("max-age=0,no-cache,no-store,must-revalidate")],
prune=False
)
Exclude and Include Filters
There are two points at which filters are evaluated in a deployment: asset bundling and the actual deployment. If you simply want to exclude files in the asset bundling process, you should leverage the exclude
property of AssetOptions
when defining your source:
# destination_bucket: s3.Bucket
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "HTMLBucketDeployment",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset("./website", exclude=["*", "!index.html"])],
destination_bucket=destination_bucket
)
If you want to specify filters to be used in the deployment process, you can use the exclude
and include
filters on BucketDeployment
. If excluded, these files will not be deployed to the destination bucket. In addition, if the file already exists in the destination bucket, it will not be deleted if you are using the prune
option:
# destination_bucket: s3.Bucket
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "DeployButExcludeSpecificFiles",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset(path.join(__dirname, "my-website"))],
destination_bucket=destination_bucket,
exclude=["*.txt"]
)
These filters follow the same format that is used for the AWS CLI. See the CLI documentation for information on Using Include and Exclude Filters.
Objects metadata
You can specify metadata to be set on all the objects in your deployment.
There are 2 types of metadata in S3: system-defined metadata and user-defined metadata.
System-defined metadata have a special purpose, for example cache-control defines how long to keep an object cached.
User-defined metadata are not used by S3 and keys always begin with x-amz-meta-
(this prefix is added automatically).
System defined metadata keys include the following:
- cache-control (
--cache-control
inaws s3 sync
) - content-disposition (
--content-disposition
inaws s3 sync
) - content-encoding (
--content-encoding
inaws s3 sync
) - content-language (
--content-language
inaws s3 sync
) - content-type (
--content-type
inaws s3 sync
) - expires (
--expires
inaws s3 sync
) - x-amz-storage-class (
--storage-class
inaws s3 sync
) - x-amz-website-redirect-location (
--website-redirect
inaws s3 sync
) - x-amz-server-side-encryption (
--sse
inaws s3 sync
) - x-amz-server-side-encryption-aws-kms-key-id (
--sse-kms-key-id
inaws s3 sync
) - x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm (
--sse-c-copy-source
inaws s3 sync
) - x-amz-acl (
--acl
inaws s3 sync
)
You can find more information about system defined metadata keys in
S3 PutObject documentation
and aws s3 sync
documentation.
website_bucket = s3.Bucket(self, "WebsiteBucket",
website_index_document="index.html",
public_read_access=True
)
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "DeployWebsite",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset("./website-dist")],
destination_bucket=website_bucket,
destination_key_prefix="web/static", # optional prefix in destination bucket
metadata=s3deploy.UserDefinedObjectMetadata(A="1", b="2"), # user-defined metadata
# system-defined metadata
content_type="text/html",
content_language="en",
storage_class=s3deploy.StorageClass.INTELLIGENT_TIERING,
server_side_encryption=s3deploy.ServerSideEncryption.AES_256,
cache_control=[
s3deploy.CacheControl.set_public(),
s3deploy.CacheControl.max_age(Duration.hours(1))
],
access_control=s3.BucketAccessControl.BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL
)
CloudFront Invalidation
You can provide a CloudFront distribution and optional paths to invalidate after the bucket deployment finishes.
import aws_cdk.aws_cloudfront as cloudfront
import aws_cdk.aws_cloudfront_origins as origins
bucket = s3.Bucket(self, "Destination")
# Handles buckets whether or not they are configured for website hosting.
distribution = cloudfront.Distribution(self, "Distribution",
default_behavior=cloudfront.BehaviorOptions(origin=origins.S3Origin(bucket))
)
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "DeployWithInvalidation",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset("./website-dist")],
destination_bucket=bucket,
distribution=distribution,
distribution_paths=["/images/*.png"]
)
Size Limits
The default memory limit for the deployment resource is 128MiB. If you need to
copy larger files, you can use the memoryLimit
configuration to increase the
size of the AWS Lambda resource handler.
The default ephemeral storage size for the deployment resource is 512MiB. If you
need to upload larger files, you may hit this limit. You can use the
ephemeralStorageSize
configuration to increase the storage size of the AWS Lambda
resource handler.
NOTE: a new AWS Lambda handler will be created in your stack for each combination of memory and storage size.
EFS Support
If your workflow needs more disk space than default (512 MB) disk space, you may attach an EFS storage to underlying
lambda function. To Enable EFS support set efs
and vpc
props for BucketDeployment.
Check sample usage below. Please note that creating VPC inline may cause stack deletion failures. It is shown as below for simplicity. To avoid such condition, keep your network infra (VPC) in a separate stack and pass as props.
# destination_bucket: s3.Bucket
# vpc: ec2.Vpc
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "DeployMeWithEfsStorage",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.asset(path.join(__dirname, "my-website"))],
destination_bucket=destination_bucket,
destination_key_prefix="efs/",
use_efs=True,
vpc=vpc,
retain_on_delete=False
)
Data with deploy-time values
The content passed to Source.data()
or Source.jsonData()
can include
references that will get resolved only during deployment.
For example:
import aws_cdk.aws_sns as sns
# destination_bucket: s3.Bucket
# topic: sns.Topic
app_config = {
"topic_arn": topic.topic_arn,
"base_url": "https://my-endpoint"
}
s3deploy.BucketDeployment(self, "BucketDeployment",
sources=[s3deploy.Source.json_data("config.json", app_config)],
destination_bucket=destination_bucket
)
The value in topic.topicArn
is a deploy-time value. It only gets resolved
during deployment by placing a marker in the generated source file and
substituting it when its deployed to the destination with the actual value.
Notes
-
This library uses an AWS CloudFormation custom resource which is about 10MiB in size. The code of this resource is bundled with this library.
-
AWS Lambda execution time is limited to 15min. This limits the amount of data which can be deployed into the bucket by this timeout.
-
When the
BucketDeployment
is removed from the stack, the contents are retained in the destination bucket (#952). -
If you are using
s3deploy.Source.bucket()
to take the file source from another bucket: the deployed files will only be updated if the key (file name) of the file in the source bucket changes. Mutating the file in place will not be good enough: the custom resource will simply not run if the properties don't change.- If you use assets (
s3deploy.Source.asset()
) you don't need to worry about this: the asset system will make sure that if the files have changed, the file name is unique and the deployment will run.
- If you use assets (
Development
The custom resource is implemented in Python 3.7 in order to be able to leverage
the AWS CLI for "aws s3 sync". The code is under lib/lambda
and
unit tests are under test/lambda
.
This package requires Python 3.7 during build time in order to create the custom resource Lambda bundle and test it. It also relies on a few bash scripts, so might be tricky to build on Windows.
Roadmap
- Support "blue/green" deployments (#954)
