Infrastructure as code demo - Amazon Web Services (AWS) Tutorial

Another important component of a project is the ability to implement infrastructure as code on the AWS platform. Amazon CDK is one of the ways that you can do this. Why would you want to use CDK? Well, one of the things to talk about is that you can build with high level constructs, like, the ability to provide sensible, secure defaults for your resources. The second is you can use programming idioms like maybe a parameter or a condition or a loop and build through those solutions. And then finally, you can connect your AWS resources all together so that they have the permissions and are built in an API friendly way. So if you go through the CDK system, you'll come up with maybe a stack like this. And if you look at it, you can see that this stack will have these constructs, which could include things like Amazon SQS or Lambda, and also the ability to talk to core services like Amazon S3 or DynamoDB. If we go through and look at a demo here, this is a great place for us to dive in to…
