CloudFormationStackDriftDetectionCheck L2 construct ​

Checks whether your CloudFormation stacks' actual configuration differs, or has drifted, from its expected configuration.

Example ​

ts
// Topic to which compliance notification events will be published
const complianceTopic = new sns.Topic(this, 'ComplianceTopic');

const rule = new config.CloudFormationStackDriftDetectionCheck(this, 'Drift');
rule.onComplianceChange('TopicEvent', {
  target: new targets.SnsTopic(complianceTopic),
});
python
# Topic to which compliance notification events will be published
compliance_topic = sns.Topic(self, "ComplianceTopic")

rule = config.CloudFormationStackDriftDetectionCheck(self, "Drift")
rule.on_compliance_change("TopicEvent",
    target=targets.SnsTopic(compliance_topic)
)
java
// Topic to which compliance notification events will be published
Topic complianceTopic = new Topic(this, "ComplianceTopic");

CloudFormationStackDriftDetectionCheck rule = new CloudFormationStackDriftDetectionCheck(this, "Drift");
rule.onComplianceChange("TopicEvent", OnEventOptions.builder()
        .target(new SnsTopic(complianceTopic))
        .build());
csharp
// Install: dotnet add package Amazon.CDK.Lib
// Topic to which compliance notification events will be published
var complianceTopic = new Topic(this, "ComplianceTopic");

var rule = new CloudFormationStackDriftDetectionCheck(this, "Drift");
rule.OnComplianceChange("TopicEvent", new OnEventOptions {
    Target = new SnsTopic(complianceTopic)
});
go
// Install: go get github.com/aws/aws-cdk-go/awscdk/v2
// Topic to which compliance notification events will be published
complianceTopic := sns.NewTopic(this, jsii.String("ComplianceTopic"))

rule := config.NewCloudFormationStackDriftDetectionCheck(this, jsii.String("Drift"))
rule.onComplianceChange(jsii.String("TopicEvent"), &OnEventOptions{
	Target: targets.NewSnsTopic(complianceTopic),
})

notes

It must have permissions to detect drift for AWS CloudFormation stacks. Ensure to attach config.amazonaws.com trusted permissions and ReadOnlyAccess policy permissions. For specific policy permissions, refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-stack-drift.html.

A reference to a ConfigRule resource.

notes

For resources that are created and managed in a Stack (those created by creating new class instances like new Role(), new Bucket(), etc.), this is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to.

For referenced resources (those obtained from referencing methods like Role.fromRoleArn(), Bucket.fromBucketName(), etc.), they might be different than the stack they were imported into.

Methods ​

applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(strength: ReferenceStrength): voiddef apply_cross_stack_reference_strength(self, strength: ReferenceStrength) -> Nonepublic void applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(ReferenceStrength strength)public void ApplyCrossStackReferenceStrength(ReferenceStrength strength)func ApplyCrossStackReferenceStrength(Strength ReferenceStrength)#
Override the cross-stack reference strength for this resource.
notes · 1 parameter

When set, any cross-stack reference to this resource will use the specified mechanism instead of the global default determined by the @aws-cdk/core:defaultCrossStackReferences context key. This is useful for selectively weakening specific references to avoid the "deadly embrace" problem without changing the app-wide default.

Parameters

  • strengthstrengthstrengthstrengthStrength — - The reference strength to use for this resource.
applyRemovalPolicy(policy: RemovalPolicy): voiddef apply_removal_policy(self, policy: RemovalPolicy) -> Nonepublic void applyRemovalPolicy(RemovalPolicy policy)public void ApplyRemovalPolicy(RemovalPolicy policy)func ApplyRemovalPolicy(Policy RemovalPolicy)#
Apply the given removal policy to this resource.
notes

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).

1 parameter

Parameters

  • configRuleNameconfig_rule_nameconfigRuleNameconfigRuleNameConfigRuleName — the name of the rule.
isConstruct(x: any): boolean@staticmethod def is_construct(x: Any) -> boolpublic static Boolean isConstruct(Object x)public static bool IsConstruct(object x)func IsConstruct(X interface{}) *boolstatic#
Checks if `x` is a construct.
notes · 1 parameter · returns

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

Parameters

  • xxxxX — Any object.

Returns: true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.

with(...mixins: IMixin[]): IConstructdef with(self, mixins: IMixin) -> IConstructpublic IConstruct with(IMixin mixins)public IConstruct With(IMixin mixins)func With(Mixins IMixin) IConstruct#
Applies one or more mixins to this construct.

Mixins are applied in order. The list of constructs is captured at the start of the call, so constructs added by a mixin will not be visited. Use multiple with() calls if subsequent mixins should apply to added constructs.
