The @aws-cdk/aws-servicecatalogappregistry-alpha package contains resources that enable users to automate governance and management of their AWS resources at scale.

import * as appreg from '@aws-cdk/aws-servicecatalogappregistry-alpha';

Application

An AppRegistry application enables you to define your applications and associated resources. The application name must be unique at the account level and it's immutable.

const application = new appreg.Application(this, 'MyFirstApplication', {
  applicationName: 'MyFirstApplicationName',
  description: 'description for my application', // the description is optional
});

An application that has been created outside of the stack can be imported into your CDK app. Applications can be imported by their ARN via the Application.fromApplicationArn() API:

const importedApplication = appreg.Application.fromApplicationArn(
  this,
  'MyImportedApplication',
  'arn:aws:servicecatalog:us-east-1:012345678910:/applications/0aqmvxvgmry0ecc4mjhwypun6i',
);

Application-Associator

ApplicationAssociator defines an AppRegistry application to contain all the stacks in deployed through your cdk package. This helps to manage all the cdk deployed resources.

Create a new application to associate all the stacks in the cdk.App scope

If you want to create an Application named MyAssociatedApplication in account 123456789012 and region us-east-1 and want to associate all stacks in the App scope to MyAssociatedApplication, then use as shown in the example below:

const app = new App();
const associatedApp = new appreg.ApplicationAssociator(app, 'AssociatedApplication', {
  applications: [appreg.TargetApplication.createApplicationStack({
    applicationName: 'MyAssociatedApplication',
    // 'Application containing stacks deployed via CDK.' is the default
    applicationDescription: 'Associated Application description',
    stackName: 'MyAssociatedApplicationStack',
    // AWS Account and Region that are implied by the current CLI configuration is the default
    env: { account: '123456789012', region: 'us-east-1' },
  })],
});

This will create a stack MyAssociatedApplicationStack containing an application MyAssociatedApplication with the TagKey as managedBy and TagValue as CDK_Application_Associator.

By default, the stack will have System Managed Application Manager console URL as its output for the application created. If you want to remove the output, then use as shown in the example below:

const app = new App();
const associatedApp = new appreg.ApplicationAssociator(app, 'AssociatedApplication', {
  applications: [appreg.TargetApplication.createApplicationStack({
    applicationName: 'MyAssociatedApplication',
    // 'Application containing stacks deployed via CDK.' is the default
    applicationDescription: 'Associated Application description',
    stackName: 'MyAssociatedApplicationStack',
    // Disables emitting Application Manager url as output
    emitApplicationManagerUrlAsOutput: false,
    // AWS Account and Region that are implied by the current CLI configuration is the default
    env: { account: '123456789012', region: 'us-east-1' },
  })],
});

Import existing application to associate all the stacks in the cdk.App scope

If you want to re-use an existing Application with ARN: arn:aws:servicecatalog:us-east-1:123456789012:/applications/applicationId and want to associate all stacks in the App scope to your imported application, then use as shown in the example below:

const app = new App();
const associatedApp = new appreg.ApplicationAssociator(app, 'AssociatedApplication', {
  applications: [appreg.TargetApplication.existingApplicationFromArn({
    applicationArnValue: 'arn:aws:servicecatalog:us-east-1:123456789012:/applications/applicationId',
    stackName: 'MyAssociatedApplicationStack',
  })],
});

Associate attribute group to the application used by ApplicationAssociator

If you want to associate an Attribute Group with application created by ApplicationAssociator, then use as shown in the example below:

import * as cdk from "aws-cdk-lib";

const app = new App();

const associatedApp = new appreg.ApplicationAssociator(app, 'AssociatedApplication', {
  applications: [appreg.TargetApplication.createApplicationStack({
    applicationName: 'MyAssociatedApplication',
    // 'Application containing stacks deployed via CDK.' is the default
    applicationDescription: 'Associated Application description',
    stackName: 'MyAssociatedApplicationStack',
    // AWS Account and Region that are implied by the current CLI configuration is the default
    env: { account: '123456789012', region: 'us-east-1' },
  })],
});

// Associate application to the attribute group.
associatedApp.appRegistryApplication.addAttributeGroup('MyAttributeGroup' , {
  attributeGroupName: 'MyAttributeGroupName',
  description: 'Test attribute group',
  attributes: {},
});

Associate stacks deployed by CDK pipelines

If you are using CDK Pipelines to deploy your application, the application stacks will be inside Stages, and ApplicationAssociator will not be able to find them. Call associateStage on each Stage object before adding it to the Pipeline, as shown in the example below:

import * as cdk from "aws-cdk-lib";
import * as codepipeline from "aws-cdk-lib/pipelines";
import * as codecommit from "aws-cdk-lib/aws-codecommit";
declare const repo: codecommit.Repository;
declare const pipeline: codepipeline.CodePipeline;
declare const beta: cdk.Stage;
class ApplicationPipelineStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: cdk.App, id: string, props: ApplicationPipelineStackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

   //associate the stage to application associator.
   props.application.associateStage(beta);
   pipeline.addStage(beta);
  }
};

interface ApplicationPipelineStackProps extends cdk.StackProps {
  application: appreg.ApplicationAssociator;
};

const app = new App();
const associatedApp = new appreg.ApplicationAssociator(app, 'AssociatedApplication', {
  applications: [appreg.TargetApplication.createApplicationStack({
    applicationName: 'MyPipelineAssociatedApplication',
    stackName: 'MyPipelineAssociatedApplicationStack',
    env: { account: '123456789012', region: 'us-east-1' },
  })],
});

const cdkPipeline = new ApplicationPipelineStack(app, 'CDKApplicationPipelineStack', {
    application: associatedApp,
    env: {account: '123456789012', region: 'us-east-1'},
});

Associate cross-account stack

By default, ApplicationAssociator will not perform cross-account stack associations with the target Application, to avoid deployment failures for accounts which have not been setup for cross-account associations. To enable cross-account stack associations, make sure all accounts are in the same organization as the target Application's account and that resource sharing is enabled within the organization. If you wish to turn on cross-account sharing and associations, set the associateCrossAccountStacks field to true, as shown in the example below:

const app = new App();
const associatedApp = new appreg.ApplicationAssociator(app, 'AssociatedApplication', {
  applications: [appreg.TargetApplication.createApplicationStack({
    associateCrossAccountStacks: true,
    applicationName: 'MyAssociatedApplication',
    env: { account: '123456789012', region: 'us-east-1' },
  })],
});

Associate cross-region stack

Currently, cross-region stack association is not supported.

Attribute Group

An AppRegistry attribute group acts as a container for user-defined attributes for an application. Metadata is attached in a machine-readable format to integrate with automated workflows and tools. The attribute group name must be unique at the account level and it's immutable.

const attributeGroup = new appreg.AttributeGroup(this, 'MyFirstAttributeGroup', {
  attributeGroupName: 'MyFirstAttributeGroupName',
  description: 'description for my attribute group', // the description is optional,
  attributes: {
    project: 'foo',
    team: ['member1', 'member2', 'member3'],
    public: false,
    stages: {
      alpha: 'complete',
      beta: 'incomplete',
      release: 'not started'
    }
  }
});

An attribute group that has been created outside of the stack can be imported into your CDK app. Attribute groups can be imported by their ARN via the AttributeGroup.fromAttributeGroupArn() API:

const importedAttributeGroup = appreg.AttributeGroup.fromAttributeGroupArn(
  this,
  'MyImportedAttrGroup',
  'arn:aws:servicecatalog:us-east-1:012345678910:/attribute-groups/0aqmvxvgmry0ecc4mjhwypun6i',
);

Associations

You can associate your appregistry application with attribute groups and resources. Resources are CloudFormation stacks that you can associate with an application to group relevant stacks together to enable metadata rich insights into your applications and resources. A Cloudformation stack can only be associated with one appregistry application. If a stack is associated with multiple applications in your app or is already associated with one, CDK will fail at deploy time.

Associating application with a new attribute group

You can create and associate an attribute group to an application with the addAttributeGroup() API:

declare const application: appreg.Application;
declare const attributeGroup: appreg.AttributeGroup;
application.addAttributeGroup('MyAttributeGroupId' , {
    attributeGroupName: 'MyAttributeGroupName',
    description: 'Test attribute group',
    attributes: {},
});

Associating an attribute group with application

You can associate an application with an attribute group with associateWith:

declare const application: appreg.Application;
declare const attributeGroup: appreg.AttributeGroup;
attributeGroup.associateWith(application);

Associating application with a Stack

You can associate a stack with an application with the associateApplicationWithStack() API:

const app = new App();
const myStack = new Stack(app, 'MyStack');

declare const application: appreg.Application;
application.associateApplicationWithStack(myStack);

Sharing

You can share your AppRegistry applications and attribute groups with AWS Organizations, Organizational Units (OUs), AWS accounts within an organization, as well as IAM roles and users. AppRegistry requires that AWS Organizations is enabled in an account before deploying a share of an application or attribute group.

Sharing an application

import * as iam from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-iam';
declare const application: appreg.Application;
declare const myRole: iam.IRole;
declare const myUser: iam.IUser;
application.shareApplication('MyShareId', {
  name:'MyShare',
  accounts: ['123456789012'],
  organizationArns: ['arn:aws:organizations::123456789012:organization/o-my-org-id'],
  roles: [myRole],
  users: [myUser],
});

E.g., sharing an application with multiple accounts and allowing the accounts to associate resources to the application.

import * as iam from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-iam';
declare const application: appreg.Application;
application.shareApplication('MyShareId', {
  name: 'MyShare',
  accounts: ['123456789012', '234567890123'],
  sharePermission: appreg.SharePermission.ALLOW_ACCESS,
});

Sharing an attribute group

import * as iam from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-iam';
declare const attributeGroup: appreg.AttributeGroup;
declare const myRole: iam.IRole;
declare const myUser: iam.IUser;
attributeGroup.shareAttributeGroup('MyShareId', {
  name: 'MyShare',
  accounts: ['123456789012'],
  organizationArns: ['arn:aws:organizations::123456789012:organization/o-my-org-id'],
  roles: [myRole],
  users: [myUser],
});

E.g., sharing an application with multiple accounts and allowing the accounts to associate applications to the attribute group.

import * as iam from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-iam';
declare const attributeGroup: appreg.AttributeGroup;
attributeGroup.shareAttributeGroup('MyShareId', {
  name: 'MyShare',
  accounts: ['123456789012', '234567890123'],
  sharePermission: appreg.SharePermission.ALLOW_ACCESS,
});
