Getting Started with AWS CDK and Python | Step by Step Tutorial

CDK is a powerful Infrastructure as Code tool offered by AWS. In this video, I show you how to get started with CDK. This includes setup of your initial project, configuring your AWS user permissions, and creating a S3 bucket using a basic CDK construct.

Thank you, I was having trouble with the interpeter and I could not see autocomplete suggestions. This was very useful and thoroughly
explained.

[RahulLokurte]

Explanation is very good and modular.. Thank you for the video.

This video was awesome! Thank you so much

For me [windows user], the autocomplete issue was fixed by activating our virtual environment manually (if not done automatically) and then running a pip install -r requirements.txt
Thanks

Thanks for putting this video together! One note, @~8:35 he covers an error to select the correct python interpreter. I had the correct version (python 3.11.0) but hadn't installed the AWS CDK.

[kassandrarodriguez]

[MrGustavCR]

Thank you for another awesome tutorial. Please do a CDK TypeScript version as well

[andresmesad]

Thanks for the video. I really like showing errors live.

I had to run `cdk bootstrap` before my first `cdk deploy`. I also had to install docker on windows for `cdk synth` to work. Great vid.

Always pays to rewatch videos. Was asking myself how to update my lambda code while preventing drift and I guess you use cdk diff to see changes and cdk deploy to update!

[prannoyroy]

Finally understood what CDK is all about.. Thank you!

[mayowaogunleye]

Thank you for the great video, can you do an update for the v2

[roymathew]

Thank you for this wonderful introduction. It makes it very clear what CDK is capable of. I was wondering if you could also create users using the CDK. It appears so from the reference documentation

[abdelhadidjafer]

Please do a JS / TS complete backend please please please, i enjoy your way of teaching

[nathanbenton]

also for those that you powershell, instead of using CLEAR, you can use ctrl+l (the lower-case letter "L") instead!

Do you guys recommend learn aws cdk or going directly to terraform? They looks similar.

On a Mac, the source.bat file gets created with the Windows code inside. Ultra strange!
