hey there, is there a way to use the --plugin option from CDK from the SST cli?

Hey @Matthew Purdon, are you manually setting the

env

for a stack to a different AWS account?

Can you share how you are defining the app? And let’s see how we can add support for it.

yeah, I was and then I was intending to use the

cdk-credential-plugin

to deploy to a different account. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/cdk-credential-plugin/

I was setting the account using the env var CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT

I see… so instead of using the

prod

credentials, ie.

sst deploy --profile prod

, you want to use the

services

account’s credentials and deploy into the

prod

account?

yeah

looks like I can do this:

Copy code

"plugin": [
    "cdk-assume-role-credential-plugin"
  ]

so I don’t need the command line, and I already had to make that change to cdk.json to add

"@aws-cdk/core:newStyleStackSynthesis": "true"

Frank

Sorry, I just got off a call. I was going to suggest that, you can open up

node_modules/@serverless-stack/core/index.js

and look for the

runCdkSynth

function, and above

--quite

, you can add two lines:

Copy code

"--plugin",
"cdk-assume-role-credential-plugin",

Frank

Oh i see, passing in through

cdk.json

is definitely cleaner
