aws-s3-step-function module

Some of our early constructs don’t meet the naming standards that evolved for the library. We are releasing completely feature compatible versions with corrected names. The underlying implementation code is the same regardless of whether you deploy the construct using the old or new name. We will support both names for all 1.x releases, but in 2.x we will only publish the correctly named constructs. This construct is being replaced by the functionally identical aws-s3-stepfunctions.

This AWS Solutions Construct implements an Amazon S3 bucket connected to an AWS Step Function.

Note - This constructs sends S3 Event Notification to EventBridge, then triggers AWS Step Functions State Machine executions from EventBridge.

An alternative architecture can be built that triggers a Lambda function from S3 Event notifications using aws-s3-lambda and aws-lambda-stepfunctions. Channelling the S3 events through Lambda is less flexible than EventBridge, but is more cost effective and has lower latency.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition in Typescript:

import { S3ToStepFunction, S3ToStepFunctionProps } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-s3-step-function';
import * as stepfunctions from '@aws-cdk/aws-stepfunctions';

const startState = new stepfunctions.Pass(stack, 'StartState');

new S3ToStepFunction(this, 'test-s3-step-function-stack', {
    stateMachineProps: {
      definition: startState
    }
});

Initializer

new S3ToStepFunction(scope: Construct, id: string, props: S3ToStepFunctionProps);

Parameters

scope Construct
id string
props S3ToStepFunctionProps

Pattern Construct Props

Name	Type	Description
existingBucketObj?	`s3.IBucket`	Existing instance of S3 Bucket object. The existing bucket must have EventBridge enabled for this to work. If this is provided, then also providing bucketProps is an error.
bucketProps?	`s3.BucketProps`	Optional user provided props to override the default props for the S3 Bucket.
stateMachineProps	`sfn.StateMachineProps`	User provided props to override the default props for sfn.StateMachine
eventRuleProps?	`events.RuleProps`	Optional user provided eventRuleProps to override the defaults
deployCloudTrail?	`boolean`	Whether to deploy a Trail in AWS CloudTrail to log API events in Amazon S3. Defaults to `true`. This is now deprecated and ignored because the construct no longer needs CloudTrail since it uses S3 Event Notifications.
createCloudWatchAlarms	`boolean`	Whether to create recommended CloudWatch alarms.
logGroupProps?	`logs.LogGroupProps`	User provided props to override the default props for for the CloudWatchLogs LogGroup.
loggingBucketProps?	`s3.BucketProps`	Optional user provided props to override the default props for the S3 Logging 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

Pattern Properties

Name	Type	Description
stateMachine	`sfn.StateMachine`	Returns an instance of sfn.StateMachine created by the construct
stateMachineLogGroup	`logs.ILogGroup`	Returns an instance of the ILogGroup created by the construct for StateMachine
cloudwatchAlarms?	`cloudwatch.Alarm[]`	Returns a list of cloudwatch.Alarm created by the construct.
s3Bucket?	`s3.Bucket`	Returns an instance of the s3.Bucket created by the construct
s3LoggingBucket?	`s3.Bucket`	Returns an instance of s3.Bucket created by the construct as the logging bucket for the primary bucket.
s3BucketInterface	`s3.IBucket`	Returns an instance of s3.IBucket created by the construct.

Note - with the release of Enable EventBridge for Amazon S3, AWS CloudTrail is no longer required to implement this construct. Because of this, the following properties have been removed:

cloudtrail
cloudtrailBucket
cloudtrailLoggingBucket

Default settings

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

Amazon S3 Bucket

Enable EventBridge to send events from the S3 Bucket
Configure Access logging for S3 Bucket
Enable server-side encryption for S3 Bucket using AWS managed KMS Key
Enforce encryption of data in transit
Turn on the versioning for S3 Bucket
Don't allow public access for S3 Bucket
Retain the S3 Bucket when deleting the CloudFormation stack
Applies Lifecycle rule to move noncurrent object versions to Glacier storage after 90 days
