Introduction As organizations adopt multi-account strategies for improved security features and governance, AWS CloudFormation StackSets enables organizations to deploy infrastructure across multiple accounts and regions. However, monitoring and tracking these distributed deployments across multiple accounts presents operational challenges. When a critical security baseline deployed across 50 accounts suddenly starts failing, teams face the daunting task of logging […]

This post is cowritten by Danilo Tommasina and Lalit Kumar B from Thomson Reuters. Large organizations often struggle with infrastructure management challenges including compliance issues, development bottlenecks and errors from inconsistent AWS resource creation across teams. Without standardized naming, tagging and policy enforcement, teams face repeated boilerplate code and difficulty accessing centrally-managed resources. In this […]

AWS CloudFormation StackSets enables organizations to deploy infrastructure consistently across multiple AWS accounts and regions. However, success depends on choosing the right deployment strategy that balances three critical factors: deployment speed, operational safety, and organizational scale. This guide explores proven StackSets deployment strategies specifically designed for multi-account infrastructure management. Understanding StackSets Deployment Fundamentals What are […]

This is a guest post written by Ramanathan Nachiappan from GoDaddy. In the world of infrastructure as code, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) has revolutionized how teams define and provision cloud resources. Central to its operation is the bootstrapping process, which ensures all required resources and permissions are in place to enable secure […]

We are excited to announce a new AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) feature that makes it easier and safer to refactor your infrastructure as code. CDK Refactor aims to preserve your AWS resources as you rename constructs, move resources between stacks, and reorganize your CDK applications – operations that previously risked resource replacement. When writing […]

On November 30th, 2025, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) will no longer support Node.js 18.x, which reached end of life on April 30, 2025. This change applies to all AWS CDK components that depend on Node.js, including the AWS CDK CLI, the Construct Library, and broader CDK ecosystem projects such as JSII, Projen, and […]

Introduction Today, we’re announcing the release of aws-eks-v2 construct, a new alpha version of AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) L2 construct for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). This construct represents a significant change in how developers can define and manage their EKS environments using infrastructure as code. While maintaining the powerful capabilities of its predecessor […]

Today we’re announcing the general availability (GA) of the Amazon EventBridge Scheduler and Targets Level 2 (L2) constructs in the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) construct library. EventBridge Scheduler is a serverless scheduler that enables users to schedule tasks and events at scale. Prior to the launch of these L2 constructs, developers had to […]

On May 30th, 2025, the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) will no longer support Node.js 14.x and 16.x, which reached end of life on 4/30/2023 (14.x) and 9/11/2023 (16.x). This change applies to all AWS CDK components that depend on Node.js, including the AWS CDK CLI, the Construct Library, and broader CDK ecosystem projects such […]

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open source framework that enables developers to define cloud infrastructure using a familiar programming language. Additionally, CDK provides higher level abstractions (Constructs), which reduce the complexity required to define and integrate AWS services together when building on AWS. CDK also provides core functionality like CDK Assets, which […]
