cdktf-cli
Advanced tools
The cdktf-cli is a command-line interface tool for the Cloud Development Kit for Terraform (CDKTF). It allows developers to define cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages instead of traditional HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). This tool is part of the Terraform ecosystem and provides a way to synthesize and deploy infrastructure as code.
Initialize a new CDKTF project
This command initializes a new CDKTF project using TypeScript as the programming language. The '--local' flag indicates that the project will be set up in the current directory. This sets up the necessary files and directory structure to start defining infrastructure.
cdktf init --template=typescript --localSynthesize Terraform configuration
The 'cdktf synth' command synthesizes the defined infrastructure code into JSON Terraform configuration files. This is a crucial step that translates the high-level code into a format that Terraform can understand and apply.
cdktf synthDeploy infrastructure
This command deploys the synthesized Terraform configuration to the specified cloud provider. It automates the process of applying the infrastructure changes defined in the code.
cdktf deployDestroy infrastructure
The 'cdktf destroy' command is used to tear down the infrastructure that was previously deployed. It ensures that all resources are safely and completely removed from the cloud environment.
cdktf destroyThe AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code and provisioning it through AWS CloudFormation. Like cdktf-cli, AWS CDK allows developers to use familiar programming languages to define infrastructure. However, AWS CDK is specific to AWS services, whereas cdktf-cli can be used with any provider supported by Terraform.
Pulumi is an infrastructure as code tool that allows developers to define cloud resources using general-purpose programming languages. It supports multiple cloud providers, similar to cdktf-cli. However, Pulumi does not rely on Terraform under the hood, whereas cdktf-cli is built on top of Terraform, leveraging its ecosystem and state management.
The Serverless Framework is a tool for building and deploying serverless applications. It abstracts cloud infrastructure management, focusing on deploying functions and services. While it shares the goal of simplifying cloud deployments, it is more specialized for serverless architectures compared to the broader infrastructure management capabilities of cdktf-cli.
