cdk-photo-archive is a CDK project that sets up an archiving suite for photographers in AWS. This prepackaged setup allows photographers to easily configure an archiving system using AWS S3 storage. Taking advantage of S3s glacier storage functionality.
In addition, cdk-photo-archive has a number of additional lambda features that allow tagging of S3 photo files. This includes, hashing information, photo meta information, and AWS rekognition analysis describing the contents of the photo. These features allow photographers to view their files in glacier storage and get an idea of what the file is, or whether they even want it, before retrieving it.
All this functionality and much more is also highly costumisable!
cdk-photo-archive can also work with existing S3 storage archives on AWS. This way photographers already taking advantage of cloud storage can still use cdk-phot-archive's hashing, meta and rekognition tagging features.
For full details on all available features, and configuration see the wiki page : https://github.com/bensoer/cdk-photo-archive/wiki
This is an AWS CDK Project meant for an AWS Account. For the easiest time deploying it is recommended to setup the AWS CLI on your local computer and configure your [default] profile to authenticate with your AWS Account in your desired region. See the following links for setting up:

This will deploy the default configuration and setup. For more details on configuration. See the #Configuration section
cdk-photo-archive comes with a number of features and customisations to work with your AWS account, archiving setup and preferences.
Within conf/configuration.ts contains getConfiguration() method which returns an IConfiguration object containing all of the configuration settings that can be done to setup the project. Some of the paramaters are required and others are optional with default values if they are not provided. The minimum necessary settings to get the project up and running have been set within the repo. For details on all of the settings available, see the wiki page (https://github.com/bensoer/cdk-photo-archive/wiki/Configuration-Options) or the comments within lib/conf/i-configuration.ts
Feature lambdas are lambdas that execute a certain task every time a photo is uploaded to the archive bucket. To use these lambdas, they must be listed in the features setting in the conf/configuration.ts file. Each feature lambda is mapped to a value in the Features enum. See https://github.com/bensoer/cdk-photo-archive/wiki/Configuration-Options#features for details
