  2. Terraform is one of my favorite tools. I’ve used for

    several years to create resources on AWS.
  3. If you don’t use IaC.... Logging into AWS console and

    clicking buttons.... manual operations.. “Oops.. I made a mistake!!”
  4. AWS CDK allows you to build infrastructure using programming languages

    such as Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, and more.
  5. Impressions after trying it out: 1. It's programmable. 2. High

    flexibility (e.g., conditional branching, folder structure). 3. Programming language-specific issues.
  6. Personal comparison [Terraform] • Consistent writing style across developers •

    Abundance of information • Can be used for Non-AWS platform [AWS CDK] • Flexibility(= Variations in writing style across developers) • Easy to write unit test • Support for multiple languages • Only for AWS • Language-specific issues
