Feature: EventBridge Resources

[dehli]

With the release of event bus in CloudFormation (Announcement) we can create an EventBus resource and also update the Rule resource to optionally have an EventBus passed in.

Use Case

Want to use the new EventBridge resources.

Proposed Solution

Currently working on a solution following other resources as an example.

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

Status

• L2 EventBus construct (merged bbec8c5)
• Add eventBusName to Rule construct (PR feat(events): support event bus for rule #4839)

---

This is a 🚀 Feature Request

Hey @dehli,

Once the Cloudformation Team adds the functionality for EventBridge into their Resource Specification, the CDK should automatically update with a new L1 construct.

Unfortunately, we have no control over when this happens. If you would like more information, I would reach out to the Cloudformation team in their forum. Otherwise, I will update this issue when we have more information on timeline.

😸

Thanks @NGL321! I started to build the L2? construct and then realized the specification hadn't been updated to include an AWS::Events::EventBus so I didn't get too far. 😄 Cheers!

Really looking forward to getting this too 👍

If I understood correctly, it seems that the EventBridge is now in the Resource Specification:

[dehli]

Yep! @aripalo An AWS::Events::EventBus L2 construct was merged in here: bbec8c5

Still need to add an eventBusName to the Rule construct and then this issue can be closed.

[dehli]

With #4839 being merged in, this has been completed. I'll go ahead and close the issue!

Ended up here from Google, it's kind of confusing that all of the doco talks about CloudWatch Events, yet the service is called EventBridge. Did this get rebranded or something? Should the doco be updated to better match the current reality?
