What is the issue?

Customers trying to deploy CDK applications to regions ap-southeast-4 and il-central-1 will get an error in version 2.94.0. These regions don't have the AWS::CDK::Metadata resource type available yet, but version 2.94.0 will generate a template that will instruct CloudFormation to deploy a resource of this type in those regions.

Error message

Deployment <deployment ID> failed because Couldn't call cloudformation for target arn:aws:cloudformation:il-central-1:<account ID>:stack/<stack name> because of a validation error. The error was Template format error: Unrecognized resource types: [AWS::CDK::Metadata] (Service: AmazonCloudFormation; Status Code: 400; Error Code: ValidationError; Request ID: <request ID>; Proxy: null)

What is the impact?

cdk deploy will fail on these regions.

Workaround

Pass the --no-version-reporting flag to the CLI.

Who is affected?

All users deploying CDK generated stacks to either ap-southeast-4 or il-central-1.

How do I resolve this?

Upgrade to the latest version of aws-cdk-lib
