Cloud infrastructure with AWS Cloud Development Kit
summary
Live demo shows infrastructure written in AWS CDK using TypeScript, with two stacks deployed: a VPC and Elastic Beanstalk application. Commands shown: make install/bootstrap, cdk diff, cdk deploy, package zip, then destroy. Explains construct levels (L1 cloudformation CN resources vs higher-level constructs), compares CDK to CDK for Terraform and Pulumi, describes snapshot testing of synthesized CloudFormation templates, and warns to destroy resources to avoid unexpected AWS charges.
