cloud-iac Infrastructure as "Constructs"

Constructs are classes which define a “piece of system state”. Constructs can be composed together to form higher-level building blocks which represent more complex state.

Constructs are often used to represent the desired state of cloud applications. For example, in the AWS CDK, which is used to define the desired state for AWS infrastructure using CloudFormation, the lowest-level construct represents a resource definition in a CloudFormation template. These resources are composed to represent higher-level logical units of a cloud application, etc.

cloud-iac aims to define a set of custom constructs -- both L1 & L2 -- in efforts towards security, re-usability, and overall cloud-provider defined best-practices.

Additionally, custom constructs abstract configuration; rather than learning new interfaces (classes), abstraction eases the ability to create a deployable.

Usage

Default

npx --yes cloud-iac@latest

Interactive

npx --yes cloud-iac@latest --interactive

All CLI Flags

npx --yes cloud-iac@latest --interactive --debug

Default IaC Directory

Simply, update the package.json's config setting:

{
