This is actually the next generation of devops tools... CDK, Pulumi, etc.
- grogenaut 5y agoBeen using CDK for years, since pre-alpha. I love it and my company is moving very heavily towards CDK, a thing I helped drive. Some of our ops folks still prefer pure declarative. Like down to the explicit yaml and knowing exactly what AWS flags are ticked in what way. They're also much less comfortable with code. It's not an argument it's a preference, it's how their brains think and their comfort zone. They would literally rather see 1.5 MB of zipped yaml then read through CDK libraries. They literally look at the generated CFN over the cdk.
