The built-in CloudFormation Validation plugin produces some warnings that are unhelpful: - Unknown built-in functions: there are functions that are unknown to the plugin, and they are potentially not enumerable. Given that the chances of mistyping a function name are tiny if you are using CDK (99% of the time you are not typing them directly anyway), we silence this warning. Annoying and unlikely to happen. Silence always. - The plugin validates that templates don't contain hardcoded AZ names, because that limits portability. This makes perfect sense if you author your templates, but not necessarily if the templates are generated. CDK-generated templates may safely contain hardcoded AZ names. What we are trying to detect is whether a user hardcoded AZ names in CDK. Silence that rule if it looks like the user used the correct code paths to query the available AZs.
