Deploy Module

The deploy command is used to deploy a published module.

CloudFormation stacks created by the LambdaSharp CLI have termination protection enabled when deployed with the --protect option. In addition, subsequent updates cannot delete or replace data resources unless the --allow-data-loss option is passed in. This behavior is to reduce the risk of accidental data loss when CloudFormation resources are replaced.

Arguments

The deploy command takes an optional argument. The argument can either be the name of a published module with an optional version constraint, a path to a manifest file, a path to a module definition, or a path to a folder containing a Module.yml file.

If the argument refers to a manifest file, the deploy command invokes publish command to upload the module and its artifacts to the deployment bucket.

If the argument refers to a module definition, the deploy command invokes the build command to compile the module and all its artifacts, followed by the publish command to upload all built artifacts.

Options

--name <NAME>: (optional) Specify an alternative module name for the deployment (default: module name)
--parameters <FILE>: (optional) Specify filename to read module parameters from (default: none)

--prompt-all: (optional) Prompt for all missing parameters values (default: only prompt for missing parameters with no default value)
--prompts-as-errors: (optional) Missing parameters cause an error instead of a prompts (use for CI/CD to avoid unattended prompts)
--force-publish: (optional) Publish modules and their artifacts even when no changes were detected
--no-assembly-validation: (optional) Disable validating LambdaSharp assembly references in function project files
--no-dependency-validation: (optional) Disable validating LambdaSharp module dependencies
--configuration|-c <CONFIGURATION>: (optional) Build configuration for function projects (default: "Release")

Deploy a module with a parameters file

The deploy command can optionally take a YAML file to specify the parameter values. The YAML file must be a map of key-value pairs, where each key corresponds to a parameter or import name. The value can either be a literal value (string, number, boolean) or a list. Lists are automatically concatenated into a comma-separated string of values.

The Secrets key has some additional special processing rules. Secrets is used to enable a module to use additional managed encryption keys. These can be specified with an account specified key ID or with an account-agnostic key alias. When a key alias is used, the deploy command automatically resolves it to a key ID before using it as a parameter value.

ParameterValue: parameter value
ParameterCommaSeparatedList:
    - first value
    - second value
Secrets:
    - alias/MySecretKey

Using PowerShell/Bash:

lash deploy --parameters params.yml Demo

Use lookup functions in parameter file

The following functions can be used in parameter files to dynamically resolve values during the deploy phase.

!GetConfig

The !GetConfig function takes two arguments: the location of a JSON file and a JSON-path expression. The CLI loads the JSON file and finds the value at the JSON-path expression. The !GetConfig is recommended when there is a central configuration file that is used for deploying multiple modules.

Syntax

!GetConfig [ json-file-path, json-path-expression ]

Parameters

json-file-path: The path to the JSON file, relative to the location of the parameter files.
json-path-expression: A JSON-path expression to locate to desired value in the JSON file. A good description of the syntax and operators can be found in this repository.

!GetEnv

The !GetEnv function is similar, but reads a value from the system environment variables instead.

Syntax

!GetEnv environment-variable

Parameters

environment-variable: The name of an environment variable.

!GetParam

The !GetParam function reads a value from the AWS Parameter Store and optionally encrypts it using a KMS key.

Syntax

!GetParam parameter-store-path

-OR-

!GetParam [ parameter-store-path, encryption-key-id ]

Parameters

parameter-store-path: The path to a value in the AWS Parameter Store.
If the value is stored as a SecureString, it is automatically decrypted when retrieved and passed as plain text, unless an encryption-key-id is provided.
encryption-key-id: The AWS Key Management Service key ARN or alias to use for encrypting the value from the parameter store.

Examples

ApiKey: !GetConfig [ '../global.json', Services.SomeApi.ApiKey ]
ReplyEmail: !GetParam /Company/EmailAddress
Language: !GetEnv LANG
