Customers using DevOps practices like to take advantage of the benefits provided by managing Infrastructure as Code through configuration files. Configuration files used to manage infrastructure are traditionally implemented as YAML or JSON text files, and are missing most of the advantages of modern programming languages. Wouldn't it be better to use the expressive power of your favorite programming language to define your cloud infrastructure? The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is a multi-language, open-source framework from AWS that enables developers to harness the full power of modern programming languages to define reusable cloud components and provision applications built from those components using AWS CloudFormation. In this tech talk, we'll quickly cover the basic concepts of the CDK, then we'll spend the majority of our time live coding an application with the CDK. We'll show you how to use the CDK to quickly assemble your AWS infrastructure using the new Python CDK. We'll also explore the AWS Construct Library and show you how easy it makes it to configure your cloud resources, manage permissions, connect event sources and even build and publish your own constructs.Learning Objectives:
- Learn about AWS CDK TypeScript and Python and core concepts of the CDK framework
- Learn how to build reusable components
- Learn how to engage with the open source community and start contributing to CDK code
Presenters: Jason Fulghum & Elad Ben-Israel

In this session, we quickly cover the basic concepts of AWS CDK, then we live code an application with it in .NET. See how easy it is to configure your cloud resources, manage permissions, connect event sources for our serverless app, and even build and publish your own constructs.Presenters: Nicki Stone & Steve Roberts
