When working on an enterprise cloud strategy, the enterprise cloud platform is a key success factor for all cloud applications. The capabilities of the AWS platform will improve the quality and speed of application development. One of the components of a cloud platform is infrastructure as code (IaC), which is the foundation of any application.

In this session, we will explore how to integrate AWS CDK into an enterprise cloud platform. We will discuss what to consider when developing internal CDK constructs and using third-party CDK constructs to rely on reusable components. It is also important to consider the role of external IT companies to meet their needs and adapt their knowledge. Should we focus on specific CI/CD tools, programming languages, or AWS services? What are the implications for support organizations and timelines?

By the end of this session, developers and architects will have a broad understanding of the importance of clear IaC and platform strategies. They will be able to reflect on their overall setup within their organization and discuss optimization ideas with the platform team and management.
