Is it possible to add SSM Automation as Target to an Event Rule with CDK?

Hi all,

is it possible to add SSM Automation as Target to an Event Rule with CDK?

It doesn't appear to me that this is supported in CloudFormation. You might want to open an issue in the CloudFormation coverage roadmap for this, as the docs only mention this is for the console as far as I can tell

Try using your own bind method for rule.addTarget. This worked for me.

// cdk imports
import { Rule } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-events'
import { CfnDocument } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-ssm'

// method content
const automation = new CfnDocument(stack, 'MyAutomation', {
    name: 'MyAutomation',
    documentType: 'Automation',
    updateMethod: 'NewVersion',
    content: {}, // your automation content here
})

const rule = new Rule(stack, 'MyRule', {
    ruleName: 'MyRule',
    eventPattern: {}, // your event pattern here
})

const accountId = '123456789012' // replace with your account id
const region = 'us-east-1' // replace with your region
rule.addTarget({
    bind: () => ({
        arn: `arn:aws:ssm:${region}:${accountId}:automation-definition/${automation.name}`,
        targetResource: automation,
        // your rule props here (role, input, etc...)
    }),
})

how would I add input transformation ?

By the time I'm writing, the cdk version 2.178.1 still does not support input transformer
