-#### Using AWS SDK for JavaScript v3
-
-`AwsCustomResource` experimentally supports AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 (NODEJS_18_X or higher). In AWS SDK for JavaScript v3, packages are installed for each service. Therefore, specify the package name for `service`. Also, `action` specifies the XxxClient operations provided in the package. This example is the same as `SSM.getParameter` in v2.

-import * as regionInfo from 'aws-cdk-lib/region-info';

-class MyFact implements regionInfo.IFact {
-  public readonly region = 'us-east-1';
-  public readonly name = regionInfo.FactName.DEFAULT_CR_NODE_VERSION;
-  public readonly value = lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_18_X.name;
-}
-
-// change custom resource default runtime
-regionInfo.Fact.register(new MyFact(), true);
