It exposes two constants\u2014ASSET_FILE and LAYER_SOURCE_DIR\u2014that point to the bundled CLI and its source directory, allowing developers to easily add AWS CLI functionality to Lambda functions without manually packaging the CLI themselves.\n\nThe asset installs the CLI under /opt/awscli/aws within the Lambda layer, making it available to Lambda functions at runtime. It's built for modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14) and integrates directly with CDK's Asset and LayerVersion constructs, reducing boilerplate and ensuring consistent CLI packaging across CDK-based infrastructure projects.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are using AWS CDK to manage Lambda functions that require AWS CLI v1. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and eliminates manual CLI packaging. Not necessary if your Lambda functions do not need CLI access or if you prefer AWS CLI v2."},"id":"aws-cdk-asset-awscli-v1","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-cdk-asset-awscli-v1","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-cdk-asset-awscli-v1.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aws-cdk-asset-awscli-v1/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aws-cdk.asset-awscli-v1","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A library that contains the AWS CLI for use in Lambda Layers"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":11104828,"position":1416,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.293"}
