# CfnConfigurationProfile

The `AWS::AppConfig::ConfigurationProfile` resource creates a configuration profile that enables AWS AppConfig to access the configuration source.

Valid configuration sources include AWS Systems Manager (SSM) documents, SSM Parameter Store parameters, and Amazon S3 . A configuration profile includes the following information.

- The Uri location of the configuration data.
- The AWS Identity and Access Management ( IAM ) role that provides access to the configuration data.
- A validator for the configuration data. Available validators include either a JSON Schema or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Lambda function.

AWS AppConfig requires that you create resources and deploy a configuration in the following order:

- Create an application
- Create an environment
- Create a configuration profile
- Choose a pre-defined deployment strategy or create your own
- Deploy the configuration

For more information, see [AWS AppConfig](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/latest/userguide/what-is-appconfig.html) in the *AWS AppConfig User Guide* .

```

## Initializer

```ts
new CfnConfigurationProfile(scope: Construct, id: string, props: CfnConfigurationProfileProps)
```

## Construct Props

- `applicationId`: string | [IApplicationRef](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.interfaces.aws_appconfig.IApplicationRef.html) (required) — The application ID.

- `deletionProtectionCheck`: string — A parameter to configure deletion protection.

  Deletion protection prevents a user from deleting a configuration profile if your application has called either [GetLatestConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/2019-10-09/APIReference/API_appconfigdata_GetLatestConfiguration.html) or [GetConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/2019-10-09/APIReference/API_GetConfiguration.html) for the configuration profile during the specified interval.

  This parameter supports the following values:

  - `BYPASS` : Instructs AWS AppConfig to bypass the deletion protection check and delete a configuration profile even if deletion protection would have otherwise prevented it.
  - `APPLY` : Instructs the deletion protection check to run, even if deletion protection is disabled at the account level. `APPLY` also forces the deletion protection check to run against resources created in the past hour, which are normally excluded from deletion protection checks.
  - `ACCOUNT_DEFAULT` : The default setting, which instructs AWS AppConfig to implement the deletion protection value specified in the `UpdateAccountSettings` API.

- `description`: string — A description of the configuration profile.

- `kmsKeyIdentifier`: string — The AWS Key Management Service key identifier (key ID, key alias, or key ARN) provided when the resource was created or updated.

- `locationUri`: string (required) — A URI to locate the configuration. You can specify the following:.

  - For the AWS AppConfig hosted configuration store and for feature flags, specify `hosted` .
  - For an AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store parameter, specify either the parameter name in the format `ssm-parameter://<parameter name>` or the ARN.
  - For an AWS CodePipeline pipeline, specify the URI in the following format: `codepipeline` ://<pipeline name>.
  - For an AWS Secrets Manager secret, specify the URI in the following format: `secretsmanager` ://<secret name>.
  - For an Amazon S3 object, specify the URI in the following format: `s3://<bucket>/<objectKey>` . Here is an example: `s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/my-app/us-east-1/my-config.json`
  - For an SSM document, specify either the document name in the format `ssm-document://<document name>` or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

- `name`: string (required) — A name for the configuration profile.

- `retrievalRoleArn`: string | [IRoleRef](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.interfaces.aws_iam.IRoleRef.html) — The ARN of an IAM role with permission to access the configuration at the specified `LocationUri` .

  > A retrieval role ARN is not required for configurations stored in AWS CodePipeline or the AWS AppConfig hosted configuration store. It is required for all other sources that store your configuration.

- `tags`: [CfnTag](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.CfnTag.html)[] — Metadata to assign to the configuration profile.

  Tags help organize and categorize your AWS AppConfig resources. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

- `type`: string — The type of configurations contained in the profile.

  AWS AppConfig supports `feature flags` and `freeform` configurations. We recommend you create feature flag configurations to enable or disable new features and freeform configurations to distribute configurations to an application. When calling this API, enter one of the following values for `Type` :

  `AWS.AppConfig.FeatureFlags`

  `AWS.Freeform`

- `validators`: [IResolvable](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.IResolvable.html) | [IResolvable](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.IResolvable.html) | [CfnConfigurationProfile.ValidatorsProperty](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_appconfig.CfnConfigurationProfile.ValidatorsProperty.html)[] — A list of methods for validating the configuration.

## Properties

- `applicationId`: string — The application ID.

- `attrConfigurationProfileId`: string — The configuration profile ID.

- `attrKmsKeyArn`: string — The Amazon Resource Name of the AWS Key Management Service key to encrypt new configuration data versions in the AWS AppConfig hosted configuration store.

  This attribute is only used for `hosted` configuration types. To encrypt data managed in other configuration stores, see the documentation for how to specify an AWS  key for that particular service.

- `cdkTagManager`: [TagManager](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.TagManager.html) — Tag Manager which manages the tags for this resource.

- `CFN_RESOURCE_TYPE_NAME`: string (static) — The CloudFormation resource type name for this resource class.

- `cfnOptions`: [ICfnResourceOptions](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.ICfnResourceOptions.html) — Options for this resource, such as condition, update policy etc.

- `cfnResourceType`: string — AWS resource type.

- `configurationProfileRef`: [ConfigurationProfileReference](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.interfaces.aws_appconfig.ConfigurationProfileReference.html) — A reference to a ConfigurationProfile resource.

- `creationStack`: string[]

- `deletionProtectionCheck`: string — A parameter to configure deletion protection.

- `description`: string — A description of the configuration profile.

- `env`: [ResourceEnvironment](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.interfaces.ResourceEnvironment.html)

- `kmsKeyIdentifier`: string — The AWS Key Management Service key identifier (key ID, key alias, or key ARN) provided when the resource was created or updated.

- `locationUri`: string — A URI to locate the configuration.

  You can specify the following:.

- `logicalId`: string — The logical ID for this CloudFormation stack element.

  The logical ID of the element
  is calculated from the path of the resource node in the construct tree.

  To override this value, use `overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId)`.

- `name`: string — A name for the configuration profile.

- `node`: [Node](/cdk/api/v2/docs/constructs.Node.html) — The tree node.

- `ref`: string — Return a string that will be resolved to a CloudFormation `{ Ref }` for this element.

  If, by any chance, the intrinsic reference of a resource is not a string, you could
  coerce it to an IResolvable through `Lazy.any({ produce: resource.ref })`.

- `retrievalRoleArn`: string — The ARN of an IAM role with permission to access the configuration at the specified `LocationUri` .

- `stack`: [Stack](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.Stack.html) — The stack in which this element is defined.

  CfnElements must be defined within a stack scope (directly or indirectly).

- `tags`: [CfnTag](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.CfnTag.html)[] — Metadata to assign to the configuration profile.

- `type`: string — The type of configurations contained in the profile.

- `validators`: [IResolvable](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.IResolvable.html) | [IResolvable](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.IResolvable.html) | [CfnConfigurationProfile.ValidatorsProperty](/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_appconfig.CfnConfigurationProfile.ValidatorsProperty.html)[] — A list of methods for validating the configuration.

## Methods

- `addDeletionOverride(path: string): void` — Syntactic sugar for `addOverride(path, undefined)`.

  **Parameters**

  - `path` — The path of the value to delete.

- `addDependency(target: CfnResource): void` — Use `addResourceDependency` instead.

  This method has been renamed to `addResourceDependency` to more clearly
  set it apart from `construct.node.addDependency`. See the documentation
  of that function for more details.

- `addDependsOn(target: CfnResource): void` — Use `addResourceDependency` instead.

  This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries
  and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

  This method has been renamed to `addResourceDependency`, which makes it
  more clear that this method operates at a different level from the
  construct-level `construct.node.addDependency()` mechanism.

- `addMetadata(key: string, value: any): void` — Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

- `addOverride(path: string, value: any): void` — Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

  To add a
  property override, either use `addPropertyOverride` or prefix `path` with
  "Properties." (i.e. `Properties.TopicName`).

  If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter.
  If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

  To include a literal `.` in the property name, prefix with a `\`. In most
  programming languages you will need to write this as `"\\."` because the
  `\` itself will need to be escaped.

  For example,
  ```typescript
  cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes', ['myattribute']);
  cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType', 'INCLUDE');
  ```
  would add the overrides
  ```json
  "Properties": {
    "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
      {
        "Projection": {
          "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
          ...
        }
        ...
      },
      {
        "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
        ...
      },
    ]
    ...
  }
  ```

  The `value` argument to `addOverride` will not be processed or translated
  in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization
  for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be
  rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the
  template.

  **Parameters**

  - `path` — - The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.
  - `value` — - The value.

- `addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath: string): void` — Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

  **Parameters**

  - `propertyPath` — The path to the property.

- `addPropertyOverride(propertyPath: string, value: any): void` — Adds an override to a resource property.

  Syntactic sugar for `addOverride("Properties.<...>", value)`.

  **Parameters**

  - `propertyPath` — The path of the property.
  - `value` — The value.

- `addResourceDependency(target: CfnResource, reason?: string): void` — Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

  This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries
  and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

  This method only adds dependencies between L1 resources. If you are
  looking for a generic construct-to-construct dependency mechanism that works
  for all constructs including L2s, use `construct.node.addDependency` instead.

- `applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(strength: ReferenceStrength): void` — Sets the cross-stack reference strength for this resource.

  When set, any cross-stack reference to this resource will use the specified
  strength instead of the global default from the consuming stack's context.

  **Parameters**

  - `strength` — - The reference strength to use for this resource.

- `applyRemovalPolicy(policy?: RemovalPolicy, options?: RemovalPolicyOptions): void` — Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

  The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops
  being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the
  CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource
  to be replaced.

  The resource can be deleted (`RemovalPolicy.DESTROY`), or left in your AWS
  account for data recovery and cleanup later (`RemovalPolicy.RETAIN`). In some
  cases, a snapshot can be taken of the resource prior to deletion
  (`RemovalPolicy.SNAPSHOT`). A list of resources that support this policy
  can be found in the following link:

- `cfnPropertyName(cdkPropertyName: string): string`

- `getAtt(attributeName: string, typeHint?: ResolutionTypeHint): Reference` — Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

  Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. `resource.arn`), but this can be used for future compatibility
  in case there is no generated attribute.

  **Parameters**

  - `attributeName` — The name of the attribute.

- `getMetadata(key: string): any` — Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

- `inspect(inspector: TreeInspector): void` — Examines the CloudFormation resource and discloses attributes.

  **Parameters**

  - `inspector` — tree inspector to collect and process attributes.

- `isCfnConfigurationProfile(x: any): boolean` (static) — Checks whether the given object is a CfnConfigurationProfile.

- `isCfnElement(x: any): boolean` (static) — Returns `true` if a construct is a stack element (i.e. part of the synthesized cloudformation template).

  Uses duck-typing instead of `instanceof` to allow stack elements from different
  versions of this library to be included in the same stack.

  **Returns:** The construct as a stack element or undefined if it is not a stack element.

- `isCfnResource(x: any): boolean` (static) — Check whether the given object is a CfnResource.

- `isConstruct(x: any): boolean` (static) — Checks if `x` is a construct.

  Use this method instead of `instanceof` to properly detect `Construct`
  instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

  Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the `constructs` library on
  disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a
  consequence, the class `Construct` in each copy of the `constructs` library
  is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as
  `instanceof` the other class. `npm install` will not create installations
  like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or
  use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the `constructs`
  library can be accidentally installed, and `instanceof` will behave
  unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using `instanceof`, and using
  this type-testing method instead.

  **Parameters**

  - `x` — Any object.

  **Returns:** true if `x` is an object created from a class which extends `Construct`.

- `obtainDependencies(): Stack | CfnResource[]` — Retrieves an array of resources and stacks this resource depends on.

  For resources depended on directly, returns the `CfnResource` object. For
  dependencies on other stacks, returns the `Stack` object. The order of the
  array is not guaranteed.

- `overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId: string): void` — Overrides the auto-generated logical ID with a specific ID.

  **Parameters**

  - `newLogicalId` — The new logical ID to use for this stack element.

- `removeDependency(target: CfnResource): void` — Use `removeResourceDependency` instead

  This can be used for resources across stacks (including nested stacks)
  and the dependency will automatically be removed from the relevant scope.

- `removeResourceDependency(target: CfnResource): void` — Indicates that this resource no longer depends on another resource.

  This can be used for resources across stacks (including nested stacks)
  and the dependency will automatically be removed from the relevant scope.

- `replaceDependency(target: CfnResource, newTarget: CfnResource): void` — Replaces one dependency with another.

  **Parameters**

  - `target` — The dependency to replace.
  - `newTarget` — The new dependency to add.

- `toString(): string` — Returns a string representation of this construct.

  **Returns:** a string representation of this resource

- `with(...mixins: IMixin[]): IConstruct` — Applies one or more mixins to this construct.

  Mixins are applied in order. The list of constructs is captured at the
  start of the call, so constructs added by a mixin will not be visited.
  Use multiple `with()` calls if subsequent mixins should apply to added
  constructs.
