Fix Lambda layer region resolution for us-west-2 deployment (#206)
## Summary Fixes the CDK deployment failure in `us-west-2` region caused by incorrect Lambda layer region resolution. ## Problem The CDK deployment was failing in `us-west-2` with the error: ``` User: arn:aws:sts::385139013756:assumed-role/cdk-hnb659fds-cfn-exec-role-385139013756-us-west-2/AWSCloudFormation is not authorized to perform: lambda:GetLayerVersion on resource: arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:615299751070:layer:AWSOpenTelemetryDistroPython:5 ``` This occurred because the code was falling back to the `us-east-1` layer ARN instead of using the correct `us-west-2` layer ARN. ## Root Cause The issue was in the region detection logic in `lambda-petclinic-stack.ts`. The original code used: ```typescript const regionName = cdk.Stack.of(this).region; const layerArn = layerArns[regionName] || layerArns['us-east-1']; // Problematic fallback ``` When CDK tokens weren't resolved properly, this would fall back to `us-east-1`, causing cross-region layer access attempts. ## Solution 1. **Improved region detection**: Use `this.region` instead of `cdk.Stack.of(this).region` for more reliable region resolution 2. **Added validation**: Ensure the layer ARN exists for the target region before proceeding 3. **Enhanced error handling**: Throw descriptive errors for unsupported regions instead of silent fallbacks 4. **Cross-region validation**: Verify that the layer ARN matches the deployment region 5. **Added debugging outputs**: Include region and layer ARN in CloudFormation outputs for troubleshooting ## Changes Made - **Fixed region detection logic** to use `this.region` for better CDK token resolution - **Removed dangerous fallback** that could cause cross-region layer access - **Added comprehensive validation** to catch region mismatches early - **Enhanced error messages** to help users identify unsupported regions - **Added CloudFormation outputs** for debugging deployment issues ## Testing This fix ensures that: - ✅ `us-west-2` deployments use the correct layer ARN (`arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:615299751070:layer:AWSOpenTelemetryDistroPython:12`) - ✅ All supported regions use their respective layer ARNs - ✅ Unsupported regions fail fast with clear error messages - ✅ No cross-region layer access attempts occur ## Impact - **Fixes deployment failures** in `us-west-2` and other regions - **Prevents silent fallbacks** that could cause runtime issues - **Improves error visibility** for unsupported regions - **Maintains backward compatibility** for all currently supported regions Fixes #202 Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
