AWS CDK - Build EC2 Instance (Python)

AWS CDK is a software development framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code and provisioning it through AWS CloudFormation.

AWS CloudFormation enables you to:

• Create and provision AWS infrastructure deployments predictably and repeatedly.
• Leverage AWS products such as Amazon EC2, Amazon Elastic Block Store, Amazon SNS, Elastic Load Balancing, and Auto Scaling.
• Build highly reliable, highly scalable, cost-effective applications in the cloud without worrying about creating and configuring the underlying AWS infrastructure.
• Use a template file to create and delete a collection of resources together as a single unit (a stack).
