The currently used version of CDK in this branch is 1.71.0. However, V1 is in maintenance mode since June 1, 2022. See aws/aws-cdk#19836.

Please use the cdk-v2 branch for the AWS CDK v2 version.

• AWS CDK (tested with 1.71.0)
• Java JDK (tested with openjdk 11.0.9)
• NodeJS (required by AWS CDK, tested with v12.18.3)
• Docker (tested with 18.09.5)
• Maven (tested with 3.6.3)
• AWS CLI (only for testing, tested with 1.18.57)

Should work with different versions of some prerequisites.

Running

cdk bootstrap
cdk deploy --require-approval never

Testing

aws s3 ls

should not return any bucket with prefix "runcdklambdastack-createdbycdkfromlambda"

Run:

aws lambda invoke --function-name run-cdk tmp/lambda-out

to start CDK from lambda and create the bucket. The first run can take about 1 minute to complete. After that

aws s3 ls

should return a bucket created by CDK (with "runcdklambdastack-createdbycdkfromlambda" prefix)
