I think the difference is that CDK “compiles” down to CloudFormation. Whatever you do it still has to be valid compared to a random application that can do whatever whenever. OFC I’m ignoring the way CDK makes it easier to use (and sometimes encourages) custom providers backed by Lambdas.
- rk2 5y agoAgree and also have to consider that there is a need for solutions for cloud providers other than amazon.
- disposedtrolley 5y agoHave a look at CDKTF [1]. It’s a wrapper around Terraform that lets you use CDK-style semantics that compiles down to a Terraform plan. Every Terraform provider can generated into a CDKTF library. [1] https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/cdktf https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/cdktf
