AppMesh Demo leveraging CDK

This demo leverages several AWS services including CodeBuild, ECS/Fargate, AppMesh, Application Load Balancing etc. It uses Python and the CDK (Cloud Development Toolkit), so provided you have Python 3.6+ and version 0.33 of the CDK installed, the commands below should all work.

Useful commands

• 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

Note

The demo is a conversion of one that used multiple CloudFormation templates and bash scripts. This "port" if you could call it that evolved fairly organically. I'll look at re-structuring everything in the not too distant future.

Enjoy!
