Installation

To install the CDK CI/CD Wrapper, you'll need to have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your system. Once you have those prerequisites, you can install the CDK CI/CD Wrapper globally using the following command:

npm install -g @cdklabs/cdk-cicd-wrapper-cli

Alternatively, you can use the npx command to run the CDK CI/CD Wrapper CLI without installing it globally:

npx @cdklabs/cdk-cicd-wrapper-cli [command]

Usage

The CDK CI/CD Wrapper CLI provides several commands to help you manage various aspects of your CDK project. Here are the available commands and their descriptions:

Compliance Bucket

The npx @cdklabs/cdk-cicd-wrapper-cli compliance-bucket command creates S3 buckets to hold logs for compliance purposes.

Security Scanning

The npx @cdklabs/cdk-cicd-wrapper-cli security-scan command scans your codebase for security vulnerabilities. You can read more about the built-in security functionalities in the Security Developer Guide.

License Management

The npx @cdklabs/cdk-cicd-wrapper-cli license command can validate and generate a NOTICE file for your project. The NOTICE file consistency is tested by this command and is included in the CodePipeline Build step to ensure the file is always up-to-date.

To update the NOTICE file, run the following command:

npx @cdklabs/cdk-cicd-wrapper-cli license --fix

License Management Configuration

The license management script configuration can be specified in the licensecheck.json file. Here's an example configuration:

{
  "failOnLicenses": ["MIT License"],
  "npm": {
    "excluded": [],
    "excludedSubProjects": ["./example/package.json"]
  },
  "python": {
    "excluded": [],
    "excludedSubProjects": ["./example/Pipfile"]
  }
}

• Banned licenses can be listed on the failOnLicenses attribute. The license name match is case-sensitive.
• Subfolders whose Pipfile or package.json file should be excluded from the license check should be listed under the npm.excludedSubProjects or python.excludedSubProjects attributes.
• For NPM packages, the subfolder also needs to contain a package-lock.json file to ensure the correct dependencies are installed and checked.
• Dependencies can be excluded from the license verification for NPM and Python as well.

For more information on license management configuration options, refer to the License Management Configuration section.

Check Dependencies

The npx @cdklabs/cdk-cicd-wrapper-cli check-dependencies command audits your project's dependencies.

Validate

The npx @cdklabs/cdk-cicd-wrapper-cli validate command ensures that the package-lock.json file has not been tampered with.
