Infrastructure *is* Code with the AWS Cloud Development Kit
summary
Demonstrates using the AWS CDK with .NET to write code that synthesizes CloudFormation and deploys it: a quick S3 static site with BucketDeployment via Lambda asset (CDK synth/deploy shows site URL) and a larger EC2 Auto Scaling IIS fleet + CodeDeploy pipeline (one-to-four instances, CodePipeline triggers on S3 upload). CDK generates ~2,200-line JSON from ~230 C# lines, deploys roles/lambdas/assets, and the longer example takes ~15–20 minutes to stabilize.
