Infrastructure as Code is a best practice, but we are writing configuration files, not real code. Is there another way? Yes! In this session, we’ll dive into the open-source Cloud Development Kit that lets us define cloud infrastructure in languages like Python and TypeScript.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a best practice, but with most infrastructure automation frameworks out there, we are writing configuration files, not real code. Is there another way? Yes! In this session, we’ll dive into the open-source Cloud Development Kit (CDK) that lets us define cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes apps in familiar programming languages like Python, Java, C#, TypeScript, and JavaScript. After this session, you know how CDK works, what infrastructure you can automate with it, and how you could use it in your next project.
