AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)

Requirements:
● AWS IAM Identity Center.
● AWS CloudFormation

AWS CDK Stacks output → AWS CloudFormation template.


synthesis

● Stacks → contain Constructs (Amazon S3 buckets, Lambda functions, or Amazon


DynamoDB tables).
● CDK Toolkit (CLI)
● Constructs are represented as a → Class
● AWS Construct Library → contains modules (constructs) such as aws-cdk-lib it also
contains base classes like Stack and App. If using cdk init you don't need to manually
install aws-cdk-lib.

npm install aws-cdk-lib


Install
TypeScript
import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
Import

npm install aws-cdk-lib


Install
JavaScript
const cdk = require('aws-cdk-lib');
Import

python -m pip install aws-cdk-lib


Install
Python
import aws_cdk as cdk
Import

Group software.amazon.awscdk; artifact


In pom.xml, add aws-cdk-lib
Java
import software.amazon.awscdk.App;
Import

go get
Install github.com/aws/aws-cdk-go/awscdk/v2
Go
import (
Import "github.com/aws/aws-cdk-go/awscdk/v2"
)

3 flavors of Constructs:

● L1 (AWS CloudFormation-only): These constructs correspond directly to resource types


defined by AWS CloudFormation. In fact, these constructs are automatically generated from
the AWS CloudFormation specification. Therefore, when a new AWS service is launched, the
AWS CDK supports it a short time after AWS CloudFormation does.
AWS CloudFormation resources always have names that begin with Cfn. For example, for
the Amazon S3 service, CfnBucket is the L1 construct for an Amazon S3 bucket.
All L1 resources are in aws-cdk-lib.

● L2 (Curated): These constructs are carefully developed by the AWS CDK team to address
specific use cases and simplify infrastructure development. For the most part, they
encapsulate L1 resources, providing sensible defaults and best practice security policies. For
example, Bucket is the L2 construct for an Amazon S3 bucket.
Libraries may also define supporting resources needed by the primary L2 resource. Some
services have more than one L2 namespace in the Construct Library for organizational
purposes.
aws-cdk-lib contains L2 constructs that are designated stable, i.e., ready for production
use. If a service's L2 support is still under development, its constructs are designated
experimental and provided in a separate module.
● L3 (Patterns): Patterns declare multiple resources to create entire AWS architectures for
particular use cases. All the plumbing is already hooked up, and configuration is boiled down
to a few important parameters.
As with L2 constructs, L3 constructs that are ready for production use (stable) are included in
aws-cdk-lib, while those still under development are in separate modules.
