Lightning Talk: AWS CDK infrastructure as Code
summary
Claims that AWS CDK replaces hand‑written CloudFormation by generating the template and managing deployments, shows a terminal diff preview and real‑time deploy progress, and the team ships a multi‑service feature across many AWS services in under one week. Demonstrates code in TypeScript that instantiates a VPC and EC2, notes the generated CloudFormation is ~480 lines, and warns CDK is early so edge cases and fast updates are expected.
