Export CloudFormation file from CDK Since I've seen Hashicorp Terraform, I have been wondering why the &quot;plan&quot; it can export has binary format.
Now in the AWS world you have got a declarative configuration language called CloudFormation which can be abstracted from using AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) in a common programming language of your choice.
Therefore my question: imagine somebody familiar with CloudFormation would like to see what CDK code will do. Is there a way to export a CloudFormation file using CDK?
Yes: in the hello world CDK example, they call it &quot;synthesizing&quot;:
cdk synth
^^ produces CloudFormation file.
