"fromLookup" for additional resources
thibaut-pro opened this issue · comments
This is a request for AWS CDK to support selectors (a la jQuery/CSS) for resources that would enable me to import existing resources by type and tag.
Use Case
I would like to reference existing resources (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/resources.html) but I don't necessarily know the resource ARN. VPCs support lookups already but I would like to see that expanded to other AWS constructs.
Proposed Solution
This was mentioned in aws/aws-cdk#1136 (comment) which could be a starting point to implement generalized selectors.
