Before you install
- AWS CDK v1 is end-of-support as of 2023-06-01; new projects should use AWS CDK v2 instead.
- Low install friction with a stable dependency tree, but the package is end-of-support as of June 2023—AWS CDK v1 has reached End-of-Support and users should migrate to AWS CDK v2.

What it is and what it does
This package provides integration classes for AWS AutoScaling lifecycle hooks within the AWS CDK v1 framework. It allows you to attach hook targets—Lambda functions, SNS topics, or SQS queues—to AutoScaling groups so that custom logic runs when instances launch or terminate. The classes are designed to be passed directly to the `addLifecycleHook()` method on an AutoScaling group, bridging the gap between CDK infrastructure definitions and AWS lifecycle hook mechanics.
The package depends on core CDK modules (aws-autoscaling, aws-iam, aws-lambda, aws-sns, aws-sqs) and related utilities. However, AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer receiving updates. Users should plan migration to AWS CDK v2, which may offer equivalent or improved lifecycle hook functionality.
Use it for
- Trigger a Lambda function to run custom setup or cleanup logic when instances join or leave an AutoScaling group.
- Publish lifecycle events to an SNS topic for downstream notification or event-driven workflows.
- Send instance lifecycle messages to an SQS queue for asynchronous processing by worker applications.
- Implement graceful instance shutdown by pausing lifecycle hooks while running cleanup tasks.
