What does the AWA CDK do differently than use public APIs?
- scrollaway 5y agoCDK generates cloudformation stacks. Those stacks are deployed as units, within AWS itself. AWS treats all the resources as part of that stack etc; it's a concept entirely proper to AWS. Terraform can create cloudformation stacks as well, you just have to write the resources for it. It doesn't really make sense to do that. I also don't know that it's … "faster" in any way; cfn is really slow.
- orf 5y agoIt’s just tags on the resources and a managed statefile. There isn’t anything different between a bucket created via CDK and a bucket created via terraform, the resources are the same and the API calls to create them are also the same.
