Using aws amplify with directconnect

To clarify the goal provided in the prompt, AWS Amplify is generally used to build mobile and web applications backed by AWS services, while AWS Direct Connect is a network service that allows an on-premises network to connect directly to AWS bypassing the internet for more secure and reliable connections. These services serve different purposes and are not usually used together directly.

However, I can show you how to set up resources in Pulumi that relate to both services. Firstly, I can provide you with a program that demonstrates how to create an AWS Amplify app, which is the starting point for a web or mobile backend with various AWS services integrated. Secondly, I can show you how to set up an AWS Direct Connect connection, which provides a dedicated network connection from on-premises to AWS.

Please note that the following program is a basic start and can be extended to include additional configurations as required. Make sure you have the AWS Pulumi provider configured before running the code.

Creating an AWS Amplify App with Pulumi

Let's start with setting up an AWS Amplify app.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create an AWS Amplify App
const app = new aws.amplify.App("myAmplifyApp", {
    name: "myapp",
    repository: "https://github.com/myUser/myAppRepo", // replace with your repository
    // AWS Amplify can build your application upon code commits if you provide it access to a repository.
    // You need to connect AWS Amplify to your repository hosting service (like GitHub).
    oauthToken: pulumi.secret("mygithubtoken"), // replace with your OAuth token, you should store this securely.
    // AWS Amplify uses this OAuth token to set up webhooks for continuous deployment.
    environmentVariables: {
        PRODUCTION_BRANCH: "main", // specify the branch to deploy
        NODE_ENV: "production", // environment variables to use in the build
    }
});

// Export the App ID of the Amplify App
export const appId = app.id;

Setting Up AWS Direct Connect

Now let's set up an AWS Direct Connect connection. The following example assumes you already have an AWS Direct Connect location and bandwidth in mind.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Example: Creating a Direct Connect Connection
const dxConnection = new aws.directconnect.Connection("myDxConnection", {
    location: "EqDC2", // Replace with the AWS Direct Connect location code
    bandwidth: "1Gbps" // Specify the bandwidth
});

// Example: Creating an AWS Direct Connect Gateway
const dxGateway = new aws.directconnect.Gateway("myDxGateway", {
    amazonSideAsn: "64512" // Replace with your ASN (Autonomous System Number)
});

// Export the connection ID and Gateway ID
export const connectionId = dxConnection.id;
export const gatewayId = dxGateway.id;

In the Amplify code, we are creating an Amplify app configured for a GitHub repository. OAuth tokens are used for allowing Amplify to access private repos and should be kept secure, hence the use of pulumi.secret.

In the Direct Connect code, we make a connection to an AWS Direct Connect location and specify the bandwidth desired for the connection. We also create a Direct Connect Gateway with an Autonomous System Number (ASN) which is required for routing.

Make sure you replace placeholder values like the repository URL, mygithubtoken, location, bandwidth, and ASN with your actual information.

Remember, the actual procedures to integrate your on-premises network with AWS services via Direct Connect or to set up continuous deployment for a web app with AWS Amplify can be quite complex and would need careful planning and configuration that goes beyond the scope of these code samples. The Pulumi code here is a starting point and does not include every necessary detail for full functionality.
