Python-friendly cloud infrastructure management
summary
Shows how to manage cloud infra using Terraform and the Cloud Development Kit for Terraform so Python code defines resources, with examples: creating an Amazon SQS in Python, using CDKTF with Python and pytest for tests, and composing production-grade stacks via the EKS module so a small cluster is ~30 lines of code and provisioning takes about 35 minutes. Advises modules from the Terraform Registry, runtime checks with Checkov and Cloud Custodian, and recommends HCL for larger teams while CDKTF suits small teams.
