AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - AWS CDK - Cloud Development Kit

The video tutorial introduces AWS CDK, a cloud development kit that simplifies cloud application provisioning using familiar programming languages. It highlights the benefits of using CDK constructs for automation, the advantages over traditional CloudFormation templates, and advanced features like autocomplete and inline documentation. The tutorial also covers integrating runtime code with infrastructure and using AWS CDK's CLI and developer tools for efficient cloud development.

What is the primary purpose of the AWS CDK?

• To provide a graphical interface for AWS services

• To define cloud application resources using programming languages

• To replace all AWS services with a single tool

• To manage AWS billing and costs

Which of the following is a benefit of using AWS CDK over traditional CloudFormation templates?

• It provides free AWS credits

• It allows the use of preferred programming languages

• It eliminates the need for AWS accounts

How does AWS CDK enhance the development process?

• By automatically deploying applications without user input

• By enabling the use of programming constructs like loops and conditionals

• By offering a drag-and-drop interface

• By providing a free AWS account

What feature of AWS CDK helps in saving time during infrastructure coding?
