Getting Started with the AWS CDK

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) allows users to use their preferred coding language to deploy AWS services and infrastructure. In this lab, you will use a Cloud9 IDE to work with the CDK, first by ensuring the environment is configured to work with the CDK and your chosen coding language (TypeScript, Python, Go, or C#), then by initializing and building out a basic CDK project that deploys a static website hosted on a public S3 bucket. Once the code is complete, you’ll deploy the project, confirm the deployment, then destroy your work once done.
