cdk-github-oidc

Inspired by aripalo/aws-cdk-github-oidc, this construct library allows you to create a Github OpenID Connect Identity Provider trust relationship with the Provider construct as well as federated IAM roles for one or multiple Github repositories.

This construct is still in experimental stage and may have breaking changes. However, we aim to make this library as simple as possible.

Sample

import { Provider } from '@pahud/cdk-github-oidc';

// create a new provider
const provider = new Provider(stack, 'GithubOpenIdConnectProvider')
// create an IAM role from this provider
provider.createRole('demo-role', 
  // sharing this role across multiple repositories
  [
    { owner: 'octo-org', repo: 'first-repo' },
    { owner: 'octo-org', repo: 'second-repo' },
    { owner: 'octo-org', repo: 'third-repo' },
  ]
)

Import the provider

Each AWS account can only have one GitHub OIDC identity provider. To import the existing one, use Provider.fromAccount():

// import the provider
const provider = Provider.fromAccount(stack, 'GithubOpenIdConnectProvider')
// create a iam role from the imported provider
provider.createRole(...)
