Getting started with the AWS Cloud Development Kit for Amazon ECS

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source software development framework to define cloud infrastructure in code and provision it through AWS CloudFormation. The AWS CDK integrates fully with AWS services and offers a higher-level object-oriented abstraction to define AWS resources imperatively.

Using the AWS CDK library of infrastructure constructs, you can easily encapsulate AWS best practices in your infrastructure definition and share it without worrying about boilerplate logic. The AWS CDK improves the end-to-end development experience because you get to use the power of modern programming languages to define your AWS infrastructure in a predictable and efficient manner. The AWS CDK is currently available for TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, and .NET.

The AWS CDK now includes constructs for ECS resources, allowing you to deploy a fully functioning containerized application environment on AWS with just a few lines of simple, readable code. Here’s how it works.
