The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is a multi-language, open-source framework that enables developers to harness the full power of familiar programming languages to define reusable cloud components and provision applications built from those components using AWS CloudFormation. In this session, you develop an AWS CDK application and learn how to quickly assemble AWS infrastructure. We explore the AWS Construct Library and show you how easy it is to configure your cloud resources, manage permissions, connect event sources, and build and publish your own constructs.
