AWS has launched the CDK Toolkit Library, a Node.js library that allows developers to interact with the AWS CDK programmatically. Previously, automation around the CDK was limited by the CLI. The library supports TypeScript and opens doors for custom tools, CLI apps, and integration into existing workflows. It suits advanced deployments, particularly in CI/CD pipelines. Key actions available include Synthesis, Deployment, List, Watch, Rollback, and Destroy, offering flexibility and ease in managing infrastructure as code.
The CDK Toolkit Library allows developers to programmatically control the AWS CDK, enhancing automation by exposing classes and methods for synthesizing, deploying, and destroying stacks.
Adam Keller mentions that previously, the primary interaction with the AWS CDK was through CLI, making it challenging to build automation directly within code.
This library is designed for advanced infrastructure deployments, ideal for integrating CDK capabilities into CI/CD pipelines, as well as creating validation steps across environments.
The new Node.js library simplifies the process, allowing actions like Synthesis, Deployment, List, Watch, Rollback, and Destroy to be executed programmatically instead of relying solely on commands.
