# Asset with AWS CLI v1 --- ![cdk-constructs: Stable](https://img.shields.io/badge/cdk--constructs-stable-success.svg?style=for-the-badge) --- This module bundles the AWS CLI v1 as a local asset. It exposes constants `ASSET_FILE` and `LAYER_SOURCE_DIR` that can be consumed via the CDK `Asset` construct. Any Lambda Function that uses uses this asset must use a Python 3.x runtime. Usage: ```ts // AwsCliLayer bundles the AWS CLI in a lambda layer import { ASSET_FILE, LAYER_SOURCE_DIR } from '@aws-cdk/asset-awscli-v1'; import * as lambda from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda'; import * as s3_assets from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3-assets'; import { FileSystem } from 'aws-cdk-lib'; declare const fn: lambda.Function; const asset = new s3_assets.Asset(this, 'layer-asset', { path: ASSET_FILE, assetHash: FileSystem.fingerprint(LAYER_SOURCE_DIR), }); fn.addLayers(new lambda.LayerVersion(this, 'AwsCliLayer', { code: lambda.Code.fromBucket(asset.bucket, asset.s3ObjectKey), })); ``` The CLI will be installed under `/opt/awscli/aws`.
