Infrastructure is code with the AWS cloud development kit
The document outlines the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and its advantages over manual and scripted infrastructure management approaches. It discusses the benefits of using the CDK for building reproducible, automated, and declarative resource provisioning with examples and a demo setup. Additionally, it presents various AWS services supported by the CDK and encourages further exploration of its features and community resources.
