Develop a Web App Using Amazon ECS and AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)

Level: 300

Containers are a powerful tool for packaging your application and running it in the cloud. In this tech talk, we'll look at the Amazon Cloud Development Kit and use it to build and deploy a container application. The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source software development framework to define cloud infrastructure in code and provision it through AWS CloudFormation. The CDK integrates fully with AWS services and offers a higher level object-oriented abstraction to define AWS resources imperatively. Using the CDK’s library of infrastructure constructs, you can easily encapsulate AWS best practices in your infrastructure definition and share it without worrying about boilerplate logic. The CDK improves the end-to-end development experience because you get to use the power of modern programming languages to define your AWS infrastructure in a predictable and efficient manner.
