AWS Image Builder with CDK

In an earlier video, Shaun McCullough walked us through the AWS service called EC2 Image Builder. In this follow up video, Shaun walks us through how to use AWS CDK to create the Image Builder resources. The AWS CDK is a software development framework that lets you use modern programming languages, such as Python or Typescript, to fully describe AWS resources and deploy with CloudFormation. This is truly Infrastructure as Code, and a critical part of the DevSecOps process.
