Defining cloud infrastructure as Python with AWS CDK
PyCon Sweden 2021

Live stream: https://youtu.be/W1qOPma747k Configuration files used to manage Infrastructure as Code are traditionally implemented as YAML or JSON text files and are missing most of the advantages of modern programming languages. Wouldn't it be better to use the expressive power of Python to define your cloud infrastructure? The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source framework from AWS that enables developers to harness the full power of modern programming languages to define reusable cloud components and provision applications built from those components using AWS CloudFormation. In this session, we'll quickly cover the basic concepts of the CDK, and then we'll spend the majority of our time building a serverless application with the CDK. We'll show you how to use the CDK to assemble your AWS infrastructure using the Python CDK quickly.
