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 […]

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 […]

AWS CloudFormation: 2024 Year in Review AWS CloudFormation enables you to model and provision your cloud application infrastructure as code-base templates. Whether you prefer writing templates directly in JSON or YAML, or using programming languages like Python, Java, and TypeScript with the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), CloudFormation and CDK provide the flexibility you need. […]

Today, we’re announcing the release of the new AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) L2 construct for AWS Glue. This construct simplifies the correct configuration of Glue jobs, workflows, and triggers.
