Creating an [AMI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AMIs.html) (Amazon Machine Image) can be done via the AWS Console. It can also be created via AWS CLI or SDKs. This CDK Construct will assist with the creation of an AMI as part of a [CDK](https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/) deploym...
To add on to the previous [article](https://subaud.io/importing-an-amazon-lex-bot-with-cdk/) that described how to import an Amazon Lex Bot with CDK, I have created a [CDK Construct](https://constructs.dev/packages/cdk-lex-zip-import/v/0.0.4?lang=typescript) that you can import and use in your ow...
Amazon Lex Bots are a way to use natural language conversational interfaces that can be used through a variety of integrations such as Facebook and Slack. A Lex Bot can be built and deployed through the AWS console. However, it can also be deployed by CDK, Cloudformation, or SDK. In this post,...
This example will build a CDK Pipeline that will build a backend and frontend and then pass API Gateway URL information from the backend to the frontend. This information can be used to make calls to the backend without having to manually pass the URL information. When connected to a Github repo...
Cloud-init is a powerful way of configuring an EC2 instance. CDK can create an EC2 instance and use cloud-init to pass dynamically created variables to this EC2 instance which can be used to configure the instance. When combined, these tools can be used to create fully configured and deployed dy...
CDK Constructs are a great way to create reusable and flexible code for yourself and others. projen makes it easy to create and publish the project. CDK Custom Resources are a way to do complex deployments and deploy AWS resources not native to CDK within a CDK. In this example, an AWS Lambda ...
When building ARM64 resources with CDK Pipelines, it is necessary to have them built using an ARM64 Image with CodeBuild.
Previously, we looked at how to use CDK Pipelines to create a [full stack deployment](https://subaud.io/creating-a-full-stack-app-with-cdk-pipeline/). This deployment used multiple Cloudformation stacks to create a front-end and back-end. This example will show a similar process, but uses a new...
