Release v1.5.6

Notes

• This release was REPLACED by v1.5.6-a due to an issue, customers should upgrade to v1.5.6-a instead

• Customers MUST use Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS (LZA) for new deployments

• Existing customers MUST upgrade to v1.5.6 or higher to avoid impacts by 2023-06-01

  • Upgrade testing for future releases will only be for upgrades from v1.5.6 or higher
  • AWS CDK version 1 will reach its end-of-support, and will no longer receive updates or releases
  • ASEA is currently in maintenance with no new features or enhancements planned. It's expected that a future Release will help customers upgrade from ASEA to LZA.
  • End of support is expected in Q2 2024. Upgrades from ASEA to LZA will occur over the next year.

• IMPORTANT - In order to implement the VPC flow log fix (#1112) (b5dc19c):

1. Before update: for every VPC of the configuration, change the “flow-logs” option to “CWL”
2. Execute the State Machine in Full Apply mode. Wait for successful completion
3. Change the “flow-logs” option to the original value (“BOTH”) (don’t re-run the state machine)
4. Follow the general instructions to update ASEA to version 1.5.6
5. Update the CloudFormation stack
6. Run the ASEA-InstallerPipeline
7. When the ASEA-InstallerPipeline completes it will trigger the State Machine. Verify that it completes successfully
