aws VS aws-cdk-examples

talkncloud github repo - project templating

I'll start writing about this on the talkcloud blog and get more examples pumping on the talkncloud github page to give people a few ideas about what the tools can be used for.

If you are in aws, look at CDK there are modules that make this pretty easy https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/blob/master/typescript/lambda-cron/index.ts

I am not sure where to post my CDK question. I am trying this project specifically https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/tree/master/python/existing-vpc-new-ec2-ebs-userdata

There are a ton of other example projects here for the AWS Cloud Development Kit: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples Hope this helps, happy coding!

I am looking at examples of the CDK in python for example https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/blob/master/python/ec2/instance/app.py

The cdk exple repo is also invaluable. I prefer cdk to terraform because it's actual infrastructure as Code as opposed to templating language as Code. There is fear of vendor lock. But I saw a while back that even hashicorp is working on a cdk implementation

For example, an AWS CDK that describes an infrastructure might look like this: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/tree/master/typescript/api-cors-lambda-crud-dynamodb
