Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as code is the process of managing and provisioning computer data centers through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools.

If you want to know more about Infrastructure as Code and when to use different IaC tools take a look at this article of mine.

What is Infrastructure-as-Code and how is Terraform, CDK Ansible different?

AWS CDK

• The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source software development framework to define cloud infrastructure in code and provision it through AWS CloudFormation.
• It offers a high-level object-oriented abstraction to define AWS resources imperatively using the power of modern programming languages. Using the CDK’s library of infrastructure constructs, you can easily encapsulate AWS best practices in your infrastructure definition and share it without worrying about boilerplate logic.
• The AWS CDK has first-class support for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, and C#.
