Infra CDK

Playground for experiments with AWS Cloud Development Kit.

Setup

To manually create a virtualenv on MacOS and Linux:

$ python3 -m venv venv

After the init process completes and the virtualenv is created, you can use the following step to activate your virtualenv.

$ source venv/bin/activate

Once the virtualenv is activated, you can install the required dependencies.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

At this point you can now synthesize the CloudFormation template for this code.

$ cdk synth

To add additional dependencies, for example other CDK libraries, just add them to your setup.py file and rerun the pip install -r requirements.txt command.

Useful commands

cdk commands need to include the profile option along with the profile name if you have more than one AWS profile and don't want to use the default e.g.

cdk deploy --profile {profileName}

• cdk ls list all stacks in the app
• cdk synth emits the synthesized CloudFormation template
• cdk deploy deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
• cdk diff compare deployed stack with current state
• cdk docs open CDK documentation
• cdk destroy destroy the deployed stack
