"In this post, we will show you how Thomson Reuters developed an extension of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to automate compliance, standardization and policy enforcement in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scripts. We will explore the strategic reasoning behind this initiative, outline foundational design principles, and provide technical details on TR's journey from concept to implementation. The solution accelerates and standardizes cloud infrastructure deployment and management through seamless integration between TR's custom library and AWS CDK."
"Overview In a large organization that offers a variety of customer products, it is essential to manage numerous cloud resources effectively. This involves overseeing multiple AWS accounts, implementing access control or addressing financial tracking challenges. These tasks require the application of centrally defined standards and conventions, with additional requirements tailored to specific sub-organizations. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an effective method for managing cloud resources."
Thomson Reuters built a custom extension to the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to automate compliance, standardization, and policy enforcement for Infrastructure as Code across teams. The extension enforces standardized naming, tagging, and centrally defined policies while reducing boilerplate and inconsistent resource creation. The solution integrates a custom library with AWS CDK to accelerate cloud infrastructure deployment and management. The design addresses multiple AWS accounts, access control, and financial tracking needs with organization-specific conventions. The approach emphasizes foundational design principles, strategic reasoning, and technical implementation to scale IaC practices across a large enterprise.
