AWS CDK in PowerShell
summary
An AWS CDK implementation for PowerShell exists as an open source module that downloads CDK NuGet packages, imports the C# assemblies as DLLs, and exposes three exported functions to scaffold, import packages and install dependencies. Templates include ec2 s3 serverless blank templates so a few dozen lines of PowerShell synthesize hundreds of CloudFormation lines (demo shows ~100 lines → 300–600 lines) and deploy successfully using the AWS CDK CLI with PowerShell 7 and .NET Core 3.1+. The repo lives under AWS samples and uses NuGet for dependencies and the CDK toolkit to synth/deploy. imports C Sharp assemblies via DLLs
