Create project directory #
Create an empty directory on your system:
mkdir cdk-workshop && cd cdk-workshop
cdk init #
We will use cdk init to create a new C# CDK project:
cdk init sample-app --language csharp
Output should look like this (you can safely ignore warnings about initialization of a git repository, this probably means you don’t have git installed, which is fine for this workshop):
Applying project template sample-app for csharp
Project 'CdkWorkshop/CdkWorkshop.csproj' ajouté à la solution.
Initializing a new git repository...
# Welcome to your CDK C# project!
You should explore the contents of this project. It demonstrates a CDK app with an instance of a stack (`CdkWorkshopStack`)
which contains an Amazon SNS topic that is subscribed to an Amazon SQS queue.
The `cdk.json` file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.
It uses the [.NET Core CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/articles/core/) to compile and execute your project.
## Useful commands
* `dotnet build src` compile this app
* `cdk ls` list all stacks in the app
* `cdk synth` emits the synthesized CloudFormation template
* `cdk deploy` deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
* `cdk diff` compare deployed stack with current state
* `cdk docs` open CDK documentation
Enjoy!
As you can see, it shows us a bunch of useful commands to get us started.
