The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is a multi-language, open-source framework from AWS that enables developers to harness the full power of modern programming languages to define reusable cloud components and provision applications built from those components using AWS CloudFormation. In this session, we quickly cover the basic concepts of the AWS CDK. We then develop an application using the AWS CDK. We show you how to use the AWS CDK to quickly assemble your AWS infrastructure using the new Python CDK that launched earlier this year. We explore the AWS Construct Library and show you how easy it is configure your cloud resources, manage permissions, connect event sources, and even build and publish your own constructs. Join us for a fun session with a heavy emphasis on live coding.
