# CDK Feature Flags

[CDK Feature Flags](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/featureflags.html) are a mechanism that allows the CDK to evolve and change the behavior of certain classes and methods, without causing disruption to existing deployed infrastructure.

Feature flags are [context values](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/context.html) and can be configured using any of the context management methods, at any level of the construct tree. Commonly, they are specified in the `cdk.json` file.
`cdk init` will create new CDK projects with a `cdk.json` file containing all recommended feature flags enabled.

## Current list of feature flags

Flags come in three types:

- **Default change**: The default behavior of an API has been changed in order to improve its ergonomics. The old behavior can still be achieved, but requires source changes.
- **Fix/deprecation**: The old behavior was incorrect or not recommended for new users. The only way to keep it is to not set this flag.
- **Config**: Configurable behavior that we recommend you turn on.

## Flags with a different default in v2

These **fix/deprecation** flags are still configurable in v2, but their default has changed compared to v1. If you
are migrating a v1 CDK project to v2, explicitly set any of these flags which does not currently appear in your
`cdk.json` to `false`, to avoid unexpected infrastructure changes.

## Feature flag details

Here are more details about each of the flags:

<!-- BEGIN details -->
### @aws-cdk/core:enableStackNameDuplicates

*Allow multiple stacks with the same name*

Flag type: New default behavior

If this is set, multiple stacks can use the same stack name (e.g. deployed to
different environments). This means that the name of the synthesized template
file will be based on the construct path and not on the defined `stackName`
of the stack.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.16.0 | `false` | `true` |
| (not configurable in v2) | `true` |  |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Pass stack identifiers to the CLI instead of stack names.


### aws-cdk:enableDiffNoFail

*Make `cdk diff` not fail when there are differences*

Flag type: New default behavior

Determines what status code `cdk diff` should return when the specified stack
differs from the deployed stack or the local CloudFormation template:

* `aws-cdk:enableDiffNoFail=true` => status code == 0
* `aws-cdk:enableDiffNoFail=false` => status code == 1

You can override this behavior with the --fail flag:

* `--fail` => status code == 1
* `--no-fail` => status code == 0


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.19.0 | `false` | `true` |
| (not configurable in v2) | `true` |  |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Specify `--fail` to the CLI.


### @aws-cdk/aws-ecr-assets:dockerIgnoreSupport

*DockerImageAsset properly supports `.dockerignore` files by default*

Flag type: New default behavior

If this flag is not set, the default behavior for `DockerImageAsset` is to use
glob semantics for `.dockerignore` files. If this flag is set, the default behavior
is standard Docker ignore semantics.

This is a feature flag as the old behavior was technically incorrect but
users may have come to depend on it.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.73.0 | `false` | `true` |
| (not configurable in v2) | `true` |  |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Update your `.dockerignore` file to match standard Docker ignore rules, if necessary.


### @aws-cdk/aws-secretsmanager:parseOwnedSecretName

*Fix the referencing of SecretsManager names from ARNs*

Flag type: New default behavior

Secret.secretName for an "owned" secret will attempt to parse the secretName from the ARN,
rather than the default full resource name, which includes the SecretsManager suffix.

If this flag is not set, Secret.secretName will include the SecretsManager suffix, which cannot be directly
used by SecretsManager.DescribeSecret, and must be parsed by the user first (e.g., Fn:Join, Fn:Select, Fn:Split).


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.77.0 | `false` | `true` |
| (not configurable in v2) | `true` |  |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Use `parseArn(secret.secretName).resourceName` to emulate the incorrect old parsing.


### @aws-cdk/aws-kms:defaultKeyPolicies

*Tighten default KMS key policies*

Flag type: New default behavior

KMS Keys start with a default key policy that grants the account access to administer the key,
mirroring the behavior of the KMS SDK/CLI/Console experience. Users may override the default key
policy by specifying their own.

If this flag is not set, the default key policy depends on the setting of the `trustAccountIdentities`
flag. If false (the default, for backwards-compatibility reasons), the default key policy somewhat
resembles the default admin key policy, but with the addition of 'GenerateDataKey' permissions. If
true, the policy matches what happens when this feature flag is set.

Additionally, if this flag is not set and the user supplies a custom key policy, this will be appended
to the key's default policy (rather than replacing it).


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.78.0 | `false` | `true` |
| (not configurable in v2) | `true` |  |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Pass `trustAccountIdentities: false` to `Key` construct to restore the old behavior.


### @aws-cdk/aws-s3:grantWriteWithoutAcl

*Remove `PutObjectAcl` from Bucket.grantWrite*

Flag type: New default behavior

Change the old 's3:PutObject*' permission to 's3:PutObject' on Bucket,
as the former includes 's3:PutObjectAcl',
which could be used to grant read/write object access to IAM principals in other accounts.
Use a feature flag to make sure existing customers who might be relying
on the overly-broad permissions are not broken.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.85.0 | `false` | `true` |
| (not configurable in v2) | `true` |  |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Call `bucket.grantPutAcl()` in addition to `bucket.grantWrite()` to grant ACL permissions.


### @aws-cdk/aws-ecs-patterns:removeDefaultDesiredCount

*Do not specify a default DesiredCount for ECS services*

Flag type: New default behavior

ApplicationLoadBalancedServiceBase, ApplicationMultipleTargetGroupServiceBase,
NetworkLoadBalancedServiceBase, NetworkMultipleTargetGroupServiceBase, and
QueueProcessingServiceBase currently determine a default value for the desired count of
a CfnService if a desiredCount is not provided. The result of this is that on every
deployment, the service count is reset to the fixed value, even if it was autoscaled.

If this flag is not set, the default behaviour for CfnService.desiredCount is to set a
desiredCount of 1, if one is not provided. If true, a default will not be defined for
CfnService.desiredCount and as such desiredCount will be undefined, if one is not provided.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.92.0 | `false` | `true` |
| (not configurable in v2) | `true` |  |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** You can pass `desiredCount: 1` explicitly, but you should never need this.


### @aws-cdk/aws-efs:defaultEncryptionAtRest

*Enable this feature flag to have elastic file systems encrypted at rest by default.*

Flag type: New default behavior

Encryption can also be configured explicitly using the `encrypted` property.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.98.0 | `false` | `true` |
| (not configurable in v2) | `true` |  |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Pass the `encrypted: false` property to the `FileSystem` construct to disable encryption.


### @aws-cdk/core:newStyleStackSynthesis

*Switch to new stack synthesis method which enables CI/CD*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

If this flag is specified, all `Stack`s will use the `DefaultStackSynthesizer` by
default. If it is not set, they will use the `LegacyStackSynthesizer`.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.39.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.0.0 | `true` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/core:stackRelativeExports

*Name exports based on the construct paths relative to the stack, rather than the global construct path*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Combined with the stack name this relative construct path is good enough to
ensure uniqueness, and makes the export names robust against refactoring
the location of the stack in the construct tree (specifically, moving the Stack
into a Stage).


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.58.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.0.0 | `true` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-rds:lowercaseDbIdentifier

*Force lowercasing of RDS Cluster names in CDK*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Cluster names must be lowercase, and the service will lowercase the name when the cluster
is created. However, CDK did not use to know about this, and would use the user-provided name
referencing the cluster, which would fail if it happened to be mixed-case.

With this flag, lowercase the name in CDK so we can reference it properly.

Must be behind a permanent flag because changing a name from mixed case to lowercase between deployments
would lead CloudFormation to think the name was changed and would trigger a cluster replacement
(losing data!).


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.97.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.0.0 | `true` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-apigateway:usagePlanKeyOrderInsensitiveId

*Allow adding/removing multiple UsagePlanKeys independently*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

The UsagePlanKey resource connects an ApiKey with a UsagePlan. API Gateway does not allow more than one UsagePlanKey
for any given UsagePlan and ApiKey combination. For this reason, CloudFormation cannot replace this resource without
either the UsagePlan or ApiKey changing.

The feature addition to support multiple UsagePlanKey resources - 142bd0e2 - recognized this and attempted to keep
existing UsagePlanKey logical ids unchanged.
However, this intentionally caused the logical id of the UsagePlanKey to be sensitive to order. That is, when
the 'first' UsagePlanKey resource is removed, the logical id of the 'second' assumes what was originally the 'first',
which again is disallowed.

In effect, there is no way to get out of this mess in a backwards compatible way, while supporting existing stacks.
This flag changes the logical id layout of UsagePlanKey to not be sensitive to order.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.98.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.0.0 | `true` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-lambda:recognizeVersionProps

*Enable this feature flag to opt in to the updated logical id calculation for Lambda Version created using the  `fn.currentVersion`.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

The previous calculation incorrectly considered properties of the `AWS::Lambda::Function` resource that did
not constitute creating a new Version.

See 'currentVersion' section in the aws-lambda module's README for more details.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.106.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.0.0 | `true` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-cloudfront:defaultSecurityPolicyTLSv1.2_2021

*Enable this feature flag to have cloudfront distributions use the security policy TLSv1.2_2021 by default.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

The security policy can also be configured explicitly using the `minimumProtocolVersion` property.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.117.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.0.0 | `true` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/core:target-partitions

*What regions to include in lookup tables of environment agnostic stacks*

Flag type: Configuration option

Has no effect on stacks that have a defined region, but will limit the amount
of unnecessary regions included in stacks without a known region.

The type of this value should be a list of strings.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.137.0 | `false` | `["aws","aws-cn"]` |
| 2.4.0 | `false` | `["aws","aws-cn"]` |


### @aws-cdk-containers/ecs-service-extensions:enableDefaultLogDriver

*ECS extensions will automatically add an `awslogs` driver if no logging is specified*

Flag type: New default behavior

Enable this feature flag to configure default logging behavior for the ECS Service Extensions. This will enable the
`awslogs` log driver for the application container of the service to send the container logs to CloudWatch Logs.

This is a feature flag as the new behavior provides a better default experience for the users.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.140.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.8.0 | `false` | `true` |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Specify a log driver explicitly.


### @aws-cdk/aws-ec2:uniqueImdsv2TemplateName

*Enable this feature flag to have Launch Templates generated by the `InstanceRequireImdsv2Aspect` use unique names.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Previously, the generated Launch Template names were only unique within a stack because they were based only on the
`Instance` construct ID. If another stack that has an `Instance` with the same construct ID is deployed in the same
account and region, the deployments would always fail as the generated Launch Template names were the same.

The new implementation addresses this issue by generating the Launch Template name with the `Names.uniqueId` method.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.140.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.8.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-iam:minimizePolicies

*Minimize IAM policies by combining Statements*

Flag type: Configuration option

Minimize IAM policies by combining Principals, Actions and Resources of two
Statements in the policies, as long as it doesn't change the meaning of the
policy.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.150.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.18.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/core:checkSecretUsage

*Enable this flag to make it impossible to accidentally use SecretValues in unsafe locations*

Flag type: Configuration option

With this flag enabled, `SecretValue` instances can only be passed to
constructs that accept `SecretValue`s; otherwise, `unsafeUnwrap()` must be
called to use it as a regular string.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.153.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.21.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-lambda:recognizeLayerVersion

*Enable this feature flag to opt in to the updated logical id calculation for Lambda Version created using the `fn.currentVersion`.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

This flag correct incorporates Lambda Layer properties into the Lambda Function Version.

See 'currentVersion' section in the aws-lambda module's README for more details.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| 1.159.0 | `false` | `true` |
| 2.27.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/core:validateSnapshotRemovalPolicy

*Error on snapshot removal policies on resources that do not support it.*

Flag type: New default behavior

Makes sure we do not allow snapshot removal policy on resources that do not support it.
If supplied on an unsupported resource, CloudFormation ignores the policy altogether.
This flag will reduce confusion and unexpected loss of data when erroneously supplying
the snapshot removal policy.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.28.0 | `false` | `true` |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** The old behavior was incorrect. Update your source to not specify SNAPSHOT policies on resources that do not support it.


### @aws-cdk/aws-codepipeline:crossAccountKeyAliasStackSafeResourceName

*Generate key aliases that include the stack name*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Enable this feature flag to have CodePipeline generate a unique cross account key alias name using the stack name.

Previously, when creating multiple pipelines with similar naming conventions and when crossAccountKeys is true,
the KMS key alias name created for these pipelines may be the same due to how the uniqueId is generated.

This new implementation creates a stack safe resource name for the alias using the stack name instead of the stack ID.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.29.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-s3:createDefaultLoggingPolicy

*Enable this feature flag to create an S3 bucket policy by default in cases where an AWS service would automatically create the Policy if one does not exist.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

For example, in order to send VPC flow logs to an S3 bucket, there is a specific Bucket Policy
that needs to be attached to the bucket. If you create the bucket without a policy and then add the
bucket as the flow log destination, the service will automatically create the bucket policy with the
necessary permissions. If you were to then try and add your own bucket policy CloudFormation will throw
and error indicating that a bucket policy already exists.

In cases where we know what the required policy is we can go ahead and create the policy so we can
remain in control of it.

| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.31.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-sns-subscriptions:restrictSqsDescryption

*Restrict KMS key policy for encrypted Queues a bit more*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Enable this feature flag to restrict the decryption of a SQS queue, which is subscribed to a SNS topic, to
only the topic which it is subscribed to and not the whole SNS service of an account.

Previously the decryption was only restricted to the SNS service principal. To make the SQS subscription more
secure, it is a good practice to restrict the decryption further and only allow the connected SNS topic to decryption
the subscribed queue.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.32.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-ecs:arnFormatIncludesClusterName

*ARN format used by ECS. In the new ARN format, the cluster name is part of the resource ID.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

If this flag is not set, the old ARN format (without cluster name) for ECS is used.
If this flag is set, the new ARN format (with cluster name) for ECS is used.

This is a feature flag as the old format is still valid for existing ECS clusters.

See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-account-settings.html#ecs-resource-ids


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.35.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-apigateway:disableCloudWatchRole

*Make default CloudWatch Role behavior safe for multiple API Gateways in one environment*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Enable this feature flag to change the default behavior for aws-apigateway.RestApi and aws-apigateway.SpecRestApi
to _not_ create a CloudWatch role and Account. There is only a single ApiGateway account per AWS
environment which means that each time you create a RestApi in your account the ApiGateway account
is overwritten. If at some point the newest RestApi is deleted, the ApiGateway Account and CloudWatch
role will also be deleted, breaking any existing ApiGateways that were depending on them.

When this flag is enabled you should either create the ApiGateway account and CloudWatch role
separately _or_ only enable the cloudWatchRole on a single RestApi.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.38.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/core:enablePartitionLiterals

*Make ARNs concrete if AWS partition is known*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Enable this feature flag to get partition names as string literals in Stacks with known regions defined in
their environment, such as "aws" or "aws-cn".  Previously the CloudFormation intrinsic function
"Ref: AWS::Partition" was used.  For example:

```yaml
Principal:
  AWS:
    Fn::Join:
      - ""
      - - "arn:"
        - Ref: AWS::Partition
        - :iam::123456789876:root
```

becomes:

```yaml
Principal:
  AWS: "arn:aws:iam::123456789876:root"
```

The intrinsic function will still be used in Stacks where no region is defined or the region's partition
is unknown.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.38.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-ecs:disableExplicitDeploymentControllerForCircuitBreaker

*Avoid setting the "ECS" deployment controller when adding a circuit breaker*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Enable this feature flag to avoid setting the "ECS" deployment controller when adding a circuit breaker to an
ECS Service, as this will trigger a full replacement which fails to deploy when using set service names.
This does not change any behaviour as the default deployment controller when it is not defined is ECS.

This is a feature flag as the new behavior provides a better default experience for the users.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.51.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-events:eventsTargetQueueSameAccount

*Event Rules may only push to encrypted SQS queues in the same account*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

This flag applies to SQS Queues that are used as the target of event Rules. When enabled, only principals
from the same account as the Rule can send messages. If a queue is unencrypted, this restriction will
always apply, regardless of the value of this flag.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.51.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-iam:importedRoleStackSafeDefaultPolicyName

*Enable this feature to by default create default policy names for imported roles that depend on the stack the role is in.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Without this, importing the same role in multiple places could lead to the permissions given for one version of the imported role
to overwrite permissions given to the role at a different place where it was imported. This was due to all imported instances
of a role using the same default policy name.

This new implementation creates default policy names based on the constructs node path in their stack.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |
| (not in v1) |  |  |
| 2.60.0 | `false` | `true` |


### @aws-cdk/aws-s3:serverAccessLogsUseBucketPolicy

*Use S3 Bucket Policy instead of ACLs for Server Access Logging*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Enable this feature flag to use S3 Bucket Policy for granting permission fo Server Access Logging
rather than using the canned `LogDeliveryWrite` ACL. ACLs do not work when Object Ownership is
enabled on the bucket.

This flag uses a Bucket Policy statement to allow Server Access Log delivery, following best
practices for S3.

### @aws-cdk/customresources:installLatestAwsSdkDefault

*Whether to install the latest SDK by default in AwsCustomResource*

Flag type: New default behavior

This was originally introduced and enabled by default to not be limited by the SDK version
that's installed on AWS Lambda. However, it creates issues for Lambdas bound to VPCs that
do not have internet access, or in environments where 'npmjs.com' is not available.

The recommended setting is to disable the default installation behavior, and pass the
flag on a resource-by-resource basis to enable it if necessary.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Set installLatestAwsSdk: true on all resources that need it.


### @aws-cdk/aws-route53-patters:useCertificate

*Use the official `Certificate` resource instead of `DnsValidatedCertificate`*

Flag type: New default behavior

Enable this feature flag to use the official CloudFormation supported `Certificate` resource instead
of the deprecated `DnsValidatedCertificate` construct. If this flag is enabled and you are creating
the stack in a region other than us-east-1 then you must also set `crossRegionReferences=true` on the
stack.


| Since | Unset behaves like | Recommended value |
| ----- | ----- | ----- |

**Compatibility with old behavior:** Define a `DnsValidatedCertificate` explicitly and pass in the `certificate` property


### @aws-cdk/aws-codedeploy:removeAlarmsFromDeploymentGroup

*Remove CloudWatch alarms from deployment group*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Enable this flag to be able to remove all CloudWatch alarms from a deployment group by removing

### @aws-cdk/aws-rds:databaseProxyUniqueResourceName

*Use unique resource name for Database Proxy*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

If this flag is not set, the default behavior for `DatabaseProxy` is
to use `id` of the constructor for `dbProxyName` when it's not specified in the argument.
In this case, users can't deploy `DatabaseProxy`s that have the same `id` in the same region.

If this flag is set, the default behavior is to use unique resource names for each `DatabaseProxy`.

This is a feature flag as the old behavior was technically incorrect, but users may have come to depend on it.

The logical ID of the AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment resource is calculated by hashing
the API configuration, including methods, and resources, etc. Enable this feature flag
to also include the configuration of any authorizer attached to the API in the
calculation, so any changes made to an authorizer will create a new deployment.

### @aws-cdk/aws-secretsmanager:useAttachedSecretResourcePolicyForSecretTargetAttachments

*SecretTargetAttachments uses the ResourcePolicy of the attached Secret.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Enable this feature flag to make SecretTargetAttachments use the ResourcePolicy of the attached Secret.
SecretTargetAttachments are created to connect a Secret to a target resource.
In CDK code, they behave like regular Secret and can be used as a stand-in in most situations.
Previously, adding to the ResourcePolicy of a SecretTargetAttachment did attempt to create a separate ResourcePolicy for the same Secret.
However Secrets can only have a single ResourcePolicy, causing the CloudFormation deployment to fail.

When enabling this feature flag for an existing Stack, ResourcePolicies created via a SecretTargetAttachment will need replacement.
This won't be possible without intervention due to limitation outlined above.
First remove all permissions granted to the Secret and deploy without the ResourcePolicies.
Then you can re-add the permissions and deploy again.

### @aws-cdk/aws-redshift:columnId

*Whether to use an ID to track Redshift column changes*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Redshift columns are identified by their `name`. If a column is renamed, the old column
will be dropped and a new column will be created. This can cause data loss.

This flag enables the use of an `id` attribute for Redshift columns. If this flag is enabled, the
internal CDK architecture will track changes of Redshift columns through their `id`, rather
than their `name`. This will prevent data loss when columns are renamed.

**NOTE** - Enabling this flag comes at a **risk**. When enabled, update the `id`s of all columns,
**however** do not change the `names`s of the columns. If the `name`s of the columns are changed during
initial deployment, the columns will be dropped and recreated, causing data loss. After the initial deployment
of the `id`s, the `name`s of the columns can be changed without data loss.

Flag type: New default behavior

Enable this feature flag to remove the default ingress/egress rules from the
VPC default security group.

When a VPC is created, a default security group is created as well and this cannot
be deleted. The default security group is created with ingress/egress rules that allow
_all_ traffic. [AWS Security best practices recommend](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/securityhub/latest/userguide/ec2-controls.html#ec2-2)

This flag prevents the prefix of a stack from making the stack's name longer than the 128 character limit.

If the flag is set, the prefix is included in the stack name generation process.
If the flag is not set, then the prefix of the stack is prepended to the generated stack name.

**NOTE** - Enabling this flag comes at a **risk**. If you have already deployed stacks, changing the status of this
feature flag can lead to a change in stacks' name. Changing a stack name mean recreating the whole stack, which
is not viable in some productive setups.

*Generate a launch template when creating an AutoScalingGroup*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Enable this flag to allow AutoScalingGroups to generate a launch template when being created.
Launch configurations have been deprecated and cannot be created in AWS Accounts created after
December 31, 2023. Existing 'AutoScalingGroup' properties used for creating a launch configuration
will now create an equivalent 'launchTemplate'. Alternatively, users can provide an explicit
'launchTemplate' or 'mixedInstancesPolicy'. When this flag is enabled a 'launchTemplate' will

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

The `credentials` property on the `DatabaseClusterFromSnapshotProps`
interface was deprecated with the new `snapshotCredentials` property being
recommended. Before deprecating `credentials`, a secret would be generated
while rendering credentials if the `credentials` property was undefined or
if a secret wasn't provided via the `credentials` property. This behavior
is replicated with the new `snapshotCredentials` property, but the original
`credentials` secret can still be created resulting in an extra database
secret.

Set this flag to prevent rendering deprecated `credentials` and creating an
extra database secret when only using `snapshotCredentials` to create an RDS
database cluster from a snapshot.

### @aws-cdk/aws-route53-targets:userPoolDomainNameMethodWithoutCustomResource

*When enabled, use a new method for DNS Name of user pool domain target without creating a custom resource.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

When this feature flag is enabled, a new method will be used to get the DNS Name of the user pool domain target. The old method
creates a custom resource internally, but the new method doesn't need a custom resource.

If the flag is set to false then a custom resource will be created when using `UserPoolDomainTarget`.

*When set to true, CDK synth will throw exception if canContainersAccessInstanceRole is false. **IMPORTANT: See [details.](#aws-cdkaws-ecsdisableEcsImdsBlocking)***

Flag type: Temporary flag

In an ECS Cluster with `MachineImageType.AMAZON_LINUX_2`, the canContainersAccessInstanceRole=false option attempts to add commands to block containers from
accessing IMDS. CDK cannot guarantee the correct execution of the feature in all platforms. Setting this feature flag
to true will ensure CDK does not attempt to implement IMDS blocking. By <ins>**end of 2025**</ins>, CDK will remove the
IMDS blocking feature. See [Github discussion](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/discussions/32609) for more information.

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

For internet facing ALBs with 'dualstack-without-public-ipv4' IP address type, the default security group rules
will allow IPv6 ingress from anywhere (::/0). Previously, the default security group rules would only allow IPv4 ingress.

When this feature flag is enabled, CDK expands the scope of usage data collection to include the following:
  * L2 construct property keys - Collect which property keys you use from the L2 constructs in your app. This includes property keys nested in dictionary objects.
  * L2 construct property values of BOOL and ENUM types - Collect property key values of only BOOL and ENUM types. All other types, such as string values or construct references will be redacted.
  * L2 construct method usage - Collection method name, parameter keys and parameter values of BOOL and ENUM type.

### @aws-cdk/aws-lambda:createNewPoliciesWithAddToRolePolicy

*[Deprecated] When enabled, Lambda will create new inline policies with AddToRolePolicy instead of adding to the Default Policy Statement*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

[Deprecated default feature] When this feature flag is enabled, Lambda will create new inline policies with AddToRolePolicy.
The purpose of this is to prevent lambda from creating a dependency on the Default Policy Statement.
This solves an issue where a circular dependency could occur if adding lambda to something like a Cognito Trigger, then adding the User Pool to the lambda execution role permissions.
However in the current implementation, we have removed a dependency of the lambda function on the policy. In addition to this, a Role will be attached to the Policy instead of an inline policy being attached to the role.
This will create a data race condition in the CloudFormation template because the creation of the Lambda function no longer waits for the policy to be created. Having said that, we are not deprecating the feature (we are defaulting the feature flag to false for new stacks) since this feature can still be used to get around the circular dependency issue (issue-7016) particularly in cases where the lambda resource creation doesnt need to depend on the policy resource creation.
We recommend to unset the feature flag if already set which will restore the original behavior.

When performing cross-account S3 replication, we need to explicitly specify a role name for the replication execution role.
When this feature flag is enabled, a unique role name is specified only when performing cross-account replication.
When disabled, 'CDKReplicationRole' is always specified.

When this feature flag is disabled, it will keep the root account principal in the trust policy.

For cross-account cases, when this feature flag is enabled the trust policy will be scoped to the role only.

### @aws-cdk/aws-events:requireEventBusPolicySid

*When enabled, grantPutEventsTo() will use resource policies with Statement IDs for service principals.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

Currently, when granting permissions to service principals using grantPutEventsTo(), the operation silently fails
because service principals require resource policies with Statement IDs.

When this flag is enabled:
- Resource policies will be created with Statement IDs for service principals
- The operation will succeed as expected

When this flag is disabled:
- A warning will be emitted
- The grant operation will be dropped
- No permissions will be added

This fixes the issue where permissions were silently not being added for service principals.

### @aws-cdk/core:aspectPrioritiesMutating

*When set to true, Aspects added by the construct library on your behalf will be given a priority of MUTATING.*

Flag type: New default behavior

Custom Aspects you add have a priority of DEFAULT (500) if you don't
assign a more specific priority, which is higher than MUTATING (200). This
is relevant if a custom Aspect you add and an Aspect added by CDK try to
configure the same value.

If this flag is set to false (old behavior), Aspects added by CDK are also
added with a priority of DEFAULT; because their priorities are equal, the
Aspects that is closest to the target construct executes last (either
yours or the Aspect added by the CDK).

If this flag is set to true (recommended behavior), Aspects added by CDK are added
with a priority of MUTATING, and custom Aspects you add with DEFAULT
priority will always execute last and "win" the write. If you need Aspects
added by CDK to run after yours, your Aspect needs to have a priority of
MUTATING or lower.

This setting only applies to Aspects that were already being added for you
before version 2.172.0. Aspects introduced since that version will always
be added with a priority of MUTATING, independent of this feature flag.

### @aws-cdk/aws-s3:publicAccessBlockedByDefault

*When enabled, setting any combination of options for BlockPublicAccess will automatically set true for any options not defined.*

Flag type: Backwards incompatible bugfix

When BlockPublicAccess is not set at all, s3's default behavior will be to set all options to true in aws console.
The previous behavior in cdk before this feature was; if only some of the BlockPublicAccessOptions were set (not all 4), then the ones undefined would default to false.
This is counter intuitive to the console behavior where the options would start in true state and a user would uncheck the boxes as needed.
The new behavior from this feature will allow a user, for example, to set 1 of the 4 BlockPublicAccessOpsions to false, and on deployment the other 3 will remain true.

### @aws-cdk/aws-lambda:useCdkManagedLogGroup

When this feature flag is enabled, CDK will create a loggroup for lambda function with default properties
which supports CDK features Tag propagation, Property Injectors, Aspects
if the cdk app doesnt pass a 'logRetention' or 'logGroup' explicitly.
LogGroups created via 'logRetention' do not support Tag propagation, Property Injectors, Aspects.
LogGroups created via 'logGroup' created in CDK support Tag propagation, Property Injectors, Aspects.

When this feature flag is disabled, a loggroup is created by Lambda service on first invocation
of the function (existing behavior).
LogGroups created in this way do not support Tag propagation, Property Injectors, Aspects.

DO NOT ENABLE: If you have and existing app defining a lambda function and
have not supplied a logGroup or logRetention prop and your lambda function has
executed at least once, the logGroup has been already created with the same name
so your deployment will start failing.

Flag type: New default behavior

Without this feature flag enabled, if tags are added to a Stack using
`Tags.of(scope).add(...)`, they will be added to both the stack and all resources
in the stack template.

That leads to the tags being applied twice: once in the template, and once
again automatically by CloudFormation, which will apply all stack tags to
all resources in the stack. This leads to loss of control, as the
`excludeResourceTypes` option of the Tags API will not have any effect.

With this flag enabled, tags added to a stack using `Tags.of(...)` are ignored,
and Stack tags must be configured explicitly on the Stack object.
