Overview

This AWS Solutions Construct exposes the same code used to create our underlying resources as factories, so clients can create individual resources that are well-architected. There are factories to create:

Amazon S3 buckets - Create a well architected S3 bucket (e.g. - includes an access logging bucket) AWS Step Functions state machines - Create a well architected Step Functions state machine and log group (e.g. log group has /aws/vendedlogs/ name prefix to avoid resource policy issues)

S3 Buckets

Create fully well-architected S3 buckets with as little as one function call. Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition:

Typescript

import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import { Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { ConstructsFactories } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-constructs-factories';

const factories = new ConstructsFactories(this, 'MyFactories');

factories.s3BucketFactory('GoodBucket', {});

Python

from aws_cdk import (
    Stack,
)
from constructs import Construct

from aws_solutions_constructs import (
    aws_constructs_factories as cf
)

factories = cf.ConstructsFactories(self, 'MyFactories')
factories.s3_bucket_factory('GoodBucket')

Java

import software.constructs.Construct;
import software.amazon.awscdk.Stack;
import software.amazon.awscdk.StackProps;

import software.amazon.awsconstructs.services.constructsfactories.ConstructsFactories;
import software.amazon.awsconstructs.services.constructsfactories.S3BucketFactoryProps;

final ConstructsFactories factories = new ConstructsFactories(this, "MyFactories");
factories.s3BucketFactory("GoodBucket",
  new S3BucketFactoryProps.Builder().build());

S3BucketFactory Function Signature

s3BucketFactory(id: string, props: S3BucketFactoryProps): S3BucketFactoryResponse

S3BucketFactoryProps

Name	Type	Description
bucketProps?	s3.BucketProps	Optional user provided props to override the default props for the S3 Bucket.
logS3AccessLogs?	boolean	Whether to turn on Access Logging for the S3 bucket. Creates an S3 bucket with associated storage costs for the logs. Enabling Access Logging is a best practice. default - true
loggingBucketProps?	s3.BucketProps	Optional user provided props to override the default props for the S3 Logging Bucket.

S3BucketFactoryResponse

Name	Type	Description
s3Bucket	s3.Bucket	The s3.Bucket created by the factory.
s3LoggingBucket?	s3.Bucket	The s3.Bucket created by the construct as the logging bucket for the primary bucket. If the logS3AccessLogs property is false, this value will be undefined.

Default settings

Out of the box implementation of the Construct without any override will set the following defaults:

• An S3 Content Bucket

  • AWS managed Server Side Encryption (AES256)
  • Lifecycle rule to transition objects to Glacier storage class in 90 days
  • Access Logging enabled
  • All Public access blocked
  • Versioning enabled
  • UpdateReplacePolicy is delete
  • Deletion policy is delete
  • Bucket policy requiring SecureTransport

• An S3 Bucket for Access Logs

  • AWS managed Server Side Encryption (AES256)
  • All public access blocked
  • Versioning enabled
  • UpdateReplacePolicy is delete
  • Deletion policy is delete
  • Bucket policy requiring SecureTransport
  • Bucket policy granting PutObject privileges to the S3 logging service, from the content bucket in the content bucket account.
  • cfn_nag suppression of access logging finding (not logging access to the access log bucket)

Architecture

Step Functions State Machines

Create fully well-architected Step Functions state machine with log group. The log group name includes the vendedlogs prefix. Here but is unique to the stack, avoiding naming collions between instances. is a minimal deployable pattern definition:

Typescript

import { App, Stack } from "aws-cdk-lib";
import { ConstructsFactories } from "../../lib";
import { generateIntegStackName, CreateTestStateMachineDefinitionBody } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/core';
import { IntegTest } from '@aws-cdk/integ-tests-alpha';

const placeholderTask = new sftasks.EvaluateExpression(this, 'placeholder', {
  expression: '$.argOne + $.argTwo'
});

const factories = new ConstructsFactories(this, 'minimalImplementation');

factories.stateMachineFactory('testsm', {
  stateMachineProps: {
    definitionBody: sfn.DefinitionBody.fromChainable(placeholderTask)
  }
});

stateMachineFactory Function Signature

stateMachineFactory(id: string, props: StateMachineFactoryProps): StateMachineFactoryResponse

StateMachineFactoryProps

Name	Type	Description
stateMachineProps	sfn.StateMachineProps	The CDK properties that define the state machine. This property is required and must include a definitionBody or definition (definition is deprecated)
logGroup?	[]logs.LogGroup](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_logs.LogGroup.html)	An existing LogGroup to which the new state machine will write log entries. Default: none, the construct will create a new log group.
createCloudWatchAlarms?	boolean	Whether to create recommended CloudWatch alarms for the State Machine. Default: the alarms are created
cloudWatchAlarmsPrefix?	string	Creating multiple State Machines with one Factories construct will result in name collisions as the cloudwatch alarms originally had fixed resource ids. This value was added to avoid collisions while not making changes that would be destructive for existing stacks. Unless you are creating multiple State Machines using factories you can ignore it

StateMachineFactoryResponse

Name	Type	Description
stateMachineProps	sfn.StateMachineProps
logGroup	[]logs.LogGroupProps](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_logs.LogGroupProps.html)
cloudwatchAlarms?	cloudwatch.Alarm[]	The alarms created by the factory (ExecutionFailed, ExecutionThrottled, ExecutionAborted)

Default settings

Out of the box implementation of the Construct without any override will set the following defaults:

• An AWS Step Functions State Machine

  • Configured to log to the new log group at LogLevel.ERROR

• Amazon CloudWatch Logs Log Group

  • Log name is prefaced with /aws/vendedlogs/ to avoid resource policy issues. The Log Group name is still created to be unique to the stack to avoid name collisions.

• CloudWatch alarms for:

  • 1 or more failed executions
  • 1 or more executions being throttled
  • 1 or more executions being aborted

Architecture

SQS Queues

Create SQS queues complete with DLQs and KMS CMKs with one function call. Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition:

Typescript

import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import { Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { ConstructsFactories } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-constructs-factories';

const factories = new ConstructsFactories(this, 'MyFactories');

factories.sqsQueueFacgory('GoodQueue', {});

SqsQueueFactory(id: string, props: SqsQueueFactoryProps): SqsQueueFactoryResponse

SqsQueueFactoryProps

Name	Type	Description
queueProps?	sqs.QueueProps	Optional user provided props to override the default props for the primary queue.
enableEncryptionWithCustomerManagedKey?	boolean	If no key is provided, this flag determines whether the queue is encrypted with a new CMK or an AWS managed key. This flag is ignored if any of the following are defined: queueProps.encryptionMasterKey, encryptionKey or encryptionKeyProps. default - False if queueProps.encryptionMasterKey, encryptionKey, and encryptionKeyProps are all undefined.
encryptionKey?	kms.Key	An optional, imported encryption key to encrypt the SQS Queue with. Default - none
encryptionKeyProps?	kms.KeyProps	Optional user provided properties to override the default properties for the KMS encryption key used to encrypt the SQS Queue with. @default - None
deployDeadLetterQueue?	boolean	Whether to deploy a secondary queue to be used as a dead letter queue.
deadLetterQueueProps?	sqs.QueueProps	Optional user provided properties for the dead letter queue
maxReceiveCount?	number	The number of times a message can be unsuccessfully dequeued before being moved to the dead letter queue. default - code

SqsQueueFactoryResponse

Name	Type	Description

key	kms.IKey	The key used to encrypt the queue, if the queue was configured to use a CMK
deadLetterQueue?	sqs.DeadLetterQueue	The dead letter queue associated with the queue created by the factory

Default settings

Out of the box implementation of the Construct without any override will set the following defaults:

• An SQS queue

  • Encrypted by default with KMS managed key by default, can be KMS CMK if flag is set
  • Only queue owner can perform operations by default (your IAM policies can override)
  • Enforced encryption for data in transit
