Hello,

Greetings!

As per the description, it appears that there are some difficulties you are having with the CDK stack deployment.   
  
----
  
Upon reviewing the error message, it appears that the Docker Image Asset is not correctly generated, which is causing you to receive this error. A relevant open GitHub issue [1][2] was discovered as I was looking into the problem.

However, I am unsure of this since I am unable to identify the underlying cause of the problem without knowing the app folder structure, CDK code, and current configuration.

-----

In order for us to examine the existing setup more closely and provide you more focused, secure, one-on-one assistance, I would advise you to initiate a support case with CDK [3] , so that we can access the resources and provide you the root cause of the issue.
