(custom-resources): use lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_14_X by default in Provider

[pkwarren]

Description

Similar to #13225, we should update to latest supported Node.js runtime for the custom-resources lambda prior to Node 12 going out of service.

aws-cdk/packages/@aws-cdk/custom-resources/lib/provider-framework/provider.ts

Line 214 in 4e82d36

runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_12_X,

Use Case

All lambdas created by aws-cdk internally should be updated prior to EOL.

Proposed Solution

Update to NODEJS_14_X when creating lambda in custom-resources.

Other information

No response

Acknowledge

• I may be able to implement this feature request
• This feature might incur a breaking change

Can you share or link the communication you've gotten from Lambda? I can't seem to find any easily.

[pkwarren]

We've not gotten communication from AWS Lambda yet but we're in the process of updating all of our existing CDK projects because of Node 10.x no longer being supported: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/runtime-support-policy.html

Since Node 12.x is no longer receiving security updates this spring (https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/) it felt like a good preventative change to keep ahead of these and use the latest supported Node runtime.

We've not gotten communication from AWS Lambda yet

This week we've received the following guidance from AWS. We have a few custom resources defined in our accounts, which specify non-Node Lambda event handlers, but it seems the CustomResource Provider sets up a NodeJS 12 Lambda itself (description: AWS CDK resource provider framework).

I'm assuming this issue, once resolved, will upgrade the runtime of these providers.

Thanks,
Jesse

Hello,

We are contacting you as we have identified that your AWS Account currently has one or more Lambda functions using Node.js 12 runtime.

We are ending support for Node.js 12 in AWS Lambda. This follows Node.js 12 End-Of-Life (EOL) reached on April 30, 2022 [1].

As described in the Lambda runtime support policy [2], end of support for language runtimes in Lambda happens in two stages. Starting November 14, 2022, Lambda will no longer apply security patches and other updates to the Node.js 12 runtime used by Lambda functions, and functions using Node.js 12 will no longer be eligible for technical support. In addition, you will no longer be able to create new Lambda functions using the Node.js 12 runtime. Starting December 14, 2022, you will no longer be able to update existing functions using the Node.js 12 runtime.

We recommend that you upgrade your existing Node.js 12 functions to Node.js 16 before November 14, 2022.

Hi.

I think this problem is solved by #20297 .
I also checked the implementation.

#20297

Unless I misunderstand, this only resolves the issue for a Route 53 construct which uses custom resources right? The proposed change here is to set it as the default runtime for the custom resource framework itself.

[TakahiroImanishi]

Thank you.
I understand #20297 is for a Route53 constrcut.

But,I read a source code, the code is fixed now.

aws-cdk/packages/@aws-cdk/custom-resources/lib/provider-framework/provider.ts

runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_14_X,

[TakahiroImanishi]

Sorry, I may be misunderstanding the FIX Issue.
I don't read past issues.
Whichever, I think it is fixes this issue now.

Provider-framework lambda functions which were created before the PR #20595 seem to remain Node.js 12.x, even if the stacks including custom resources are redeployed.
It might be confusing for you and others.

If there's a way to update the existing provider-framework lambda function, it helps.

This has been fixed, live code shows node 14
