Write S3 objects with CDK

Solution 1:

You can achieve this with @aws-cdk/aws-s3-deployment.

Using TypeScript:

import s3 = require('@aws-cdk/aws-s3');
import s3deploy = require('@aws-cdk/aws-s3-deployment');

const myBucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'Bucket');

new s3deploy.BucketDeployment(this, 'DeployFiles', {
  sources: [s3deploy.Source.asset('./folder')], # 'folder' contains your empty files at the right locations
  destinationBucket: bucket,
});

Asset feature will require the execution of the command:

cdk bootstrap aws://<account>/<region>

that will run a cloudFormation and create a bucket with name cdktoolkit-stagingbucket-<random_chars>.
