Understanding the flow

The core configuration for any of the CDK deployments are controlled in your config.json files. From a high-level we have the following key elements that control the actions within the framework. The details will follow.

key	description
cdk	Any cdk configs/parameters that you need to pass
workload	General information about your workload
workload->stacks	A CDK implementation of a CloudFormation Stack
workload->deployments	Grouping of Stacks, which can be deployed via stack or pipeline mode
workload->pipelines	An AWS Code Pipeline deployment

cdk

The cdk -> parameters defines the following

key	description
placeholder	A placeholder that will used to perform a fine/replace action in the config once it's processed
env_var_name | value	An environment variable to load the value or a static value
cdk_parameter_name	The CdkParameterName that will be passed in as custom argument to the synth command

Example

    "cdk": {
        "parameters": [
            {
                "placeholder": "{{WORKLOAD_NAME}}",
                "env_var_name": "CDK_WORKLOAD_NAME",
                "cdk_parameter_name": "WorkloadName"
            },
            {
                "placeholder": "{{CDK_SYNTH_COMMAND_FILE}}",
                "value": "../../samples/website/commands/cdk_synth.sh",
                "cdk_parameter_name": "CdkSynthCommandFile"
