Bring basic support for AWS China

[LKI]

Context

I've tried to setup zappa in AWS China, and noticed that we lacked support for AWS China.

I want to know if someone is working on it?

If currently there is nobody working on it, may I work on some PR to bring basic supports for AWS China.

Expected Behavior

AWS China is isolated from AWS Global, there are only two regions in AWS China (cn-north-1/cn-northwest-1)
We may have these functionality for basic support:

• a clear 5-minutes demo
• some document about the region differences

Actual Behavior

Currently it's not possible to deploy zappa on AWS China if not customizing zappa.

Possible Fix

Main obstacles are:

• lack of AWS functionality. Route53/ACM/Edge-optimized API/EnvironmentVariablesFeature/... are not available in AWS China. (EnvironmentVariablesFeature is not supported in cn-north-1 region #1553 )
• arn difference. resources for AWS China starts with "arn:aws-cn". (Failed to manage IAM roles on AWS-China #1338 )
• encoding. the kappa package ran into error if system encoding is not utf-8. (Add encoding for open_file garnaat/kappa#126)

Hi Lirian, It is nice to know someone also want to deploy to AWS China. I also want to deploy to AWS China using Zappa. However, I’ve got official reply from one of the AWS sales, that they don’t support CloudFront in AWS China. In which I believe CloudFront is one of the most important modules for deploying via Zappa? If there is any help that I can contribute to bring Zappa to run on AWS China, please let me know, and I’m glad to work on it. Regards, Arnold

Hi @ArnoldGitHub ,

It's true that CloudFront is unavailable in AWS China, we use other CDN alternatives (qiniu).
So I plan to disable these absent AWS modules during zappa deploy. (CloudFront, Route53, etc...)

Currently I'm trying to deploy to AWS China by customizing zappa.
After that, I may submit some PRs, and it's very nice to have you review/re-test the code.

Thanks~

Hi @LKI

Did you make any progress on this? I'm currently finding the same problem because zappa is not suitable for AWS China.

Thanks.

Hi @staneslevski ,

I didn't work on this issue now.
We choose self-hosted k8s cluster for better control (which cost more).

More outdated information which may helps:
I successfully deployed zappa to AWS China after I made these changes:

• Disable Route53/ACM/EnvironmentVariables
• Adjust arn names the same way as us-gov-west-1
• Pass ICP Recordal by submitting a case

Thanks.

Hi Lirian, Thanks very much for your answer, I’ll do a deeper dive into Zappa and see if I can get it to work. Best regards, Tom

@LKI When you suggest Disable Route53/ACM/EnvironmentVariables, exactly how did you go about doing this? As I get the error EnvironmentVariablesFeature is not supported in cn-northwest-1 region

[LKI]

@SaErn I fork the repo and add some if statements. You can search us-gov in source codes, and modify in same logic.

one of the Environment Variables modify point: core.py

one of the us-gov if statement: core.py

Hi @LKI , I'm also trying to deploy Zappa for AWS China region and thanks for your sharing of the modification. As Route53/ACM/EnvironmentVariables are all available now, is it possible that you could re-open this issue so that we could move on to make Zappa support China region? Thanks
