3. We use Terraform as IaC tool.
4. Terraform is one of my favorite tools. I’ve used for several years to create resources on AWS.
5. By the way, what’s the purpose of using IaC?
6. One of the biggest reasons is to guarantee “idempotency” in infrastructure.
7. If you don’t use IaC.... Logging into AWS console and clicking buttons.... manual operations.. “Oops.. I made a mistake!!”
8. Not coding infrastructure?? Unthinkable!!!!!
9. Example of terraform
10. Aside from Terraform, there’s IaC tool named “AWS CDK”. So, I tried it.
11. AWS CDK allows you to build infrastructure using programming languages such as Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, and more.
12. Example of AWS CDK
13. Example of AWS CDK
14. Impressions after trying it out: 1. It's programmable. 2. High flexibility (e.g., conditional branching, folder structure). 3. Programming language-specific issues.
15. Personal comparison [Terraform] • Consistent writing style across developers • Abundance of information • Can be used for Non-AWS platform [AWS CDK] • Flexibility(= Variations in writing style across developers) • Easy to write unit test • Support for multiple languages • Only for AWS • Language-specific issues
16. Conclusion I wanna use CDK if I have the chance.
17. Thank you for your listening
