Enhanced CI/CD with AWS CDK

Level: 300

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open source software development framework to model and provision your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages. CDK consists of three major parts: a core framework for modeling reusable infrastructure components, a command line interface for deploying CDK applications, and the AWS Construct Library, a series of high-level components that preconfigure cloud resources with proven defaults. During this tech talk, you will learn about CDK Pipelines: a construct library that makes it easy to set up continuous delivery pipelines for your CDK applications. Through a live demo, you’ll learn how to leverage AWS CDK and AWS CodePipeline, AWS’ fully managed continuous delivery service that enables pipeline automation, to efficiently construct standardized workflows that will enable your teams to utilize infrastructure as code (IaC) practices. Additionally, you’ll learn how to build and deploy CDK templates that facilitate standardized testing, security, and build processes.
