Description

Currently a TerraformAsset would copy (& zip) everything in the directory it points to, but sometimes you don't need all the files but a subset. We currently advise users to clean up before running cdktf, but having a glob-syntax list of things to ignore as a configuration to an asset would be a better UX.
