Description

The AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) is a software development framework for provisioning and managing AWS cloud infrastructure resources using code.

The AWS CDK Toolkit is the primary tool for interacting with an application built using the AWS Cloud Development Kit. The CDK Toolkit is essentially the CLI command cdk accompanied by various subcommands, which allow you to initiate, synthesize, and deploy cloud resources to your AWS account.

In this lab, you will walk through the development process of a sample AWS CDK application in an integrated development environment (IDE) to utilize the AWS CDK Toolkit and discover the usage and benefits of the subcommands.
