How AWS is Making It Easier To Convert to IaC/CDK

Infrastructure as Code is a powerful paradigm that allows you to define your AWS resources using familiar programming concepts. But, if you started your AWS journey in the AWS console and are looking to migrate, this can be a painful ordeal. AWS is making it easier than ever for folks with manually created resources to get started using CDK. Learn all about the new feature and how to get started using IaC Generator in this video.

[@cloudmancer]

Great video! What is interesting is that every resource is being imported through a .cfn* template method, and not as a Construct. Will be interesting to see if they can evolve this into importing Constructs directly!

[@elle38131]

I was about to create my own cloudformation template for the manually created services in our account but this randomly showed up on my feed and exactly what I need 😮

[@perminusgaita]

Exactly when I needed it, this tutorial appears. Thank you.

[@karl-heinzpeters7283]

thanks, this is really awesome new stuff.

[@catquilt74]

This is wonderful! Thank you!

[@AlbertoNao]

very interesting feature and simple example video, thanks

[@Mrslykid1992]

This would be so much cleaner than experimenting with Terraform! So now even if you create a poc via the ui, you can persist it with this! Awesome!

[@bhomiktakhar8226]

Great explanation for this great feature.

[@786Peacelover]

That’s exactly what I was looking for 😂. Thank you very much.

[@Sage.highstrike]

This was one bad ass video. Totally changed the conceptualization process for me on building projects

[@orangeheartguy]

This is really powerful and helpful for newbies so when they convert from console to yml, they can compare what they've setup and what the yaml file contains, helping them understand yaml with little experience of it.

[@thomashass1]

next we need terraform export :D

[@bartoszturkowyd3608]

Yes please 🥹

[@tvvuday]

superb!!!!

[@Cherupakstmt]

Life saving feature

[@Rameshmandoli]

Thanks. make a video on cdk blurepint for EKS

[@KrishnaMishra-fy7dg]

A question. You had selected "retain" and in the end you updated DDB settings. So what's the use of "retain" setting here?

[@debnathsaha]

how to find cognito in scanned resources

[@debnathsaha]

i have 3 user pool but did not find them in scanned resources

[@rishiraj2548]

👍

[@eliasperez5168]

Wow

[@wi11iam]

former2 is still better IMO

[@Dom-zy1qy]

Terraform is easier to use than aws console in my opinion.
