CDK CI/CD Wrapper

The CDK CI/CD Wrapper is a comprehensive solution that streamlines the delivery of your AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) applications. It provides a robust and standardized multi-stage CI/CD pipeline, ensuring high quality and confidence throughout the development and deployment process.

Introduction

The CDK CI/CD Wrapper builds upon the success of the aws-cdk-cicd-boot-sample and takes it a step further by providing additional tools and features to simplify and standardize the multi-stage CI/CD process for your Infrastructure as Code (IaC) projects.

Features

Multi-staged CI/CD Pipeline: Seamlessly deploy your CDK applications across multiple stages (e.g., DEV, INT, PROD) and AWS accounts.
Security Scanning: Perform security scanning on dependencies and codebase, blocking the pipeline in case of CVE findings.
License Management: Manage licenses for NPM and Python dependencies, ensuring compliance with your organization's policies.
Private NPM Registry: Securely store and utilize private NPM libraries.
Customizable Pipeline: Tailor the CI/CD pipeline to your project's specific needs with built-in dependency injection.
Workbench Deployment: Develop and experiment with your solutions in isolation before introducing them to the delivery pipeline.
Pre/Post Deploy Hooks: Execute custom scripts before and after deployments in each stage (e.g., unit tests, functional tests, load testing).
Centralized Compliance Logs: Store compliance logs in pre-configured S3 buckets on a per-stage/environment basis.
Lambda Layer Support: Build and scan dependencies for Python Lambda Layers.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following dependencies installed:

AWS Account (RES/DEV/INT/PROD)
macOS or Cloud9 with Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS Platform in the RES Account
Bash/ZSH terminal
Docker version >= 24.0.x
AWS CLI v2 (installation guide)
AWS credentials and profiles for each environment in ~/.aws/config (configuration guide)
Node.js >= v18.17. && NPM >= v10.2.
jq command-line JSON processor (jq-1.7)

For developing Python Lambdas, you'll also need:

Python >= 3.11
Pipenv 2023.* (installation guide)

Installation

Clone the CDK CI/CD Wrapper repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/cdk-cicd-wrapper.git
cd cdk-cicd-wrapper

Install the required dependencies:
```
npm install
```

Usage

Defining Stages

The CDK CI/CD Wrapper comes with a default set of stages (DEV, INT, PROD), but you can easily extend or modify these stages to suit your project's needs. Follow the step-by-step guide in the documentation to define your desired stages.

Configuring Stacks

Configure the CDK stacks you want to deploy in each stage. The CDK CI/CD Wrapper allows you to specify which stacks should be deployed in each stage, giving you granular control over your deployment process.

Customizing CI/CD Steps

Tailor the CI/CD pipeline to meet your project's specific requirements. The CDK CI/CD Wrapper provides built-in dependency injection, allowing you to customize the CI/CD steps seamlessly.
