Multi Environment Deployments using AWS CDK

This video explains the process of deploying AWS CDK projects to multiple environments either in single AWS account or separate AWS accounts.
Please refer to below Git repo for the code I used in this video.
You can find all the commands and URLs in the [README.md](README.md) file within the repo.
I hope you will find this video useful. Please let me know in the comments section if you have any questions or suggestions for video tutorials on AWS Cloud.

This is a CDK MasterClass.

[@vaibhavsharma1118]

Awesome video, looks like repo is missing in description.

[@timestes9455]

Is it just me or did the author not post a link to the Git code repo in the video description?

[@TonyMLatham]

Very clear and concise video on multi environment deployments using CDK! Good job! Now, on another note, how did you get your terminal to display that colorful line with the git information?

[@LeonardoLobato]

Great Video! It helped me a lot

[@JoseHernandez-ep2yb]

Hi Prasad, great video. Could you share the GitHub repository? Thanks!

[@chikosan99]

Big Like, Thanks a lot !

[@wgonz]

Great video, however, the link in the description pointing to the repo or readme is not working. It would be useful to follow

If I were to implement codepipelines for different environments, should I have 3 separate codepipelines for my 3 environments - dev, test, and prod?

[@prerakhere]

Hey, can you please do a video doing multi environment setup with a codepipeline? Edit - Question - Should I have 3 separate codepipelines for my 3 environments - dev, test, and prod?

[@AliKhan-bo9sd]

Hi Parsad Your link for github is not working could you please update it.

[@ducngogia47]

Is it possible to access and do these environment in 1 aws profile only?

[@careymain3036]

Is there another way to determine environment not by branch ? How pass in on command line? aws-cdk diff ?? env

[@PrasadDomala]

You can pass it as environment variable and read it in the utils from process.env.ENVIRONMENT. When executing cdk deploy you can do "ENVIRONMENT=prod cdk deploy"

[@enriquecordero6163]

It is possible to do this in another file, that is not with the application settings?

[@PrasadDomala]

You mean configure the env settings in separate file instead of cdk.json ? Yes its possible. You can have a separate JSON file and read it from your entry point in bin directory. I don't think it will add any value apart from keeping the settings separate. I hope I understood your question correctly. If not please elaborate :)

is CDK better than terroform?..as many people are using terraform

[@manjunathreddy5966]

In our company, we use Terraform very extensively, it is great to manage the infrastructure resources for AWS, and in fact it was #1 optimal option until CDK came in. CDK made the developers life easier to code your infra in the language you already know. Also as it is open source, we get general use cases as Constructs and adds a lot of abstraction. Start using it, you will know how powerful and convinient it is.

[@prerakhere]

This is quite overwhelming for me.

[@freakinmonkey85]

This is wayyy to complicated for what it does. You should just create stacks with specific naming like someapp-dev, someapp-staging and someapp-prod, and use the env parameter to control which stack gets deployed to which account. Then in in your package.json have scripts for deploy:staging, deploy:prod etc. The example shown in the video is completely unnecessary and might throw off users. It does not have to be that complex

[@Grantrude]

RIP Return youtube dislikes. I can't tell if this video is good or not. I'm not a fan of using branches for deployments, but everything else seems reasonable.

Great one. Is that possible to share this code or github link? Thanks
