Below, despite the humor, is my honest praise to the AWS CDK team and the product.

1. Finally bringing code into “infrastructure as code”
   (sorry Puppet, Ansible, CloudFormation, SAM, Terraform)
2. The only team at AWS that actually cares about your experience
3. Suffer much less
4. No more dealing with IAM policies anymore*
   * almost
5. Did you know that CodePipeline actually requires an S3 bucket to work?
6. CloudFormation? Ye, nice intermediate representation, you know, like assembler with macros.
7. Making interaction with AWS bearable
   (I would say “again” but it never was)
8. So right on so many levels
9. Cloud – it doesn’t have to be ugly
10. CDK – Cool Developers Know
11. Isolating you from the ugly
12. We ate the shit so you wouldn’t have to*
    * mostly
13. Don’t Look Up^W at the generated CloudFormation

Have a nice day!
