Example

declare const securityGroup: ec2.SecurityGroup;
declare const subnet: ec2.Subnet;
new glue.Connection(this, 'MyConnection', {
  type: glue.ConnectionType.NETWORK,
  // The security groups granting AWS Glue inbound access to the data source within the VPC
  securityGroups: [securityGroup],
  // The VPC subnet which contains the data source
  subnet,
});

Initializer

new Connection(scope: Construct, id: string, props: ConnectionProps)

Parameters

• scope Construct
• id string
• props ConnectionProps

---

securityGroups?🔹

Type: ISecurityGroup[] (optional, default: no security group)

Properties

Name	Type	Description
connectionArn🔹	string	The ARN of the connection.
connectionName🔹	string	The name of the connection.
env🔹	ResourceEnvironment	The environment this resource belongs to.
node🔹	ConstructNode	The construct tree node associated with this construct.
stack🔹	Stack	The stack in which this resource is defined.

---

connectionArn🔹

Type: string

The ARN of the connection.

---

connectionName🔹

Type: string

The name of the connection.

---

env🔹

Type: ResourceEnvironment

The environment this resource belongs to.

For resources that are created and managed by the CDK (generally, those created by creating new class instances like Role, Bucket, etc.), this is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to; however, for imported resources (those obtained from static methods like fromRoleArn, fromBucketName, etc.), that might be different than the stack they were imported into.

---

node🔹

Type: ConstructNode

The construct tree node associated with this construct.

---

stack🔹

Type: Stack

The stack in which this resource is defined.

Methods

Name	Description
addProperty(key, value)🔹	Add additional connection parameters.
applyRemovalPolicy(policy)🔹	Apply the given removal policy to this resource.
toString()🔹	Returns a string representation of this construct.
static fromConnectionArn(scope, id, connectionArn)🔹	Creates a Connection construct that represents an external connection.
static fromConnectionName(scope, id, connectionName)🔹	Creates a Connection construct that represents an external connection.

---

addProperty(key, value)🔹

public addProperty(key: string, value: string): void

Parameters

• key string — parameter key.
• value string — parameter value.

Add additional connection parameters.

---

applyRemovalPolicy(policy)🔹

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy: RemovalPolicy): void

Parameters

• policy RemovalPolicy

Apply the given removal policy to this resource.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

---

toString()🔹

public toString(): string

Returns

• string

Returns a string representation of this construct.

---

static fromConnectionArn(scope, id, connectionArn)🔹

public static fromConnectionArn(scope: Construct, id: string, connectionArn: string): IConnection

Parameters

• scope Construct — The scope creating construct (usually this).
• id string — The construct's id.
• connectionArn string — arn of external connection.

Returns

• IConnection

Creates a Connection construct that represents an external connection.

---

static fromConnectionName(scope, id, connectionName)🔹

public static fromConnectionName(scope: Construct, id: string, connectionName: string): IConnection

Parameters

• scope Construct — The scope creating construct (usually this).
• id string — The construct's id.
• connectionName string — name of external connection.

Returns

• IConnection

Creates a Connection construct that represents an external connection.
