leonelgalan / cdk-unauthenticated-demo

A `LambdaRestApi` with unauthenticated access.

Stack

• An Identity Pool with "Allow unauthenticated identities"
• An Unauthenticated role, to be assumed by unauthenticated identities.
• A LambdaRestAPI with a single ANY method on root authorized by IAM.
• A Policy that allows Unauthenticated to execute that single endpoint.

Tooling

• CDK:
  • AWS CDK v2
• Client
  • AWS SDK for JavaScript v3:
    • GetIdCommand
    • GetCredentialsForIdentityCommand
  • Axios and aws4

Setup

npm install
cdk bootstrap
npm run deploy
npm run client

Notes

• npm run deploy instead of cdk deploy to run the "postdeploy" script. This will read the outputs and write them into the .env file.
• The client is a demo on how to retrieve the identity and credentials to call the API.
