Summary
In this chapter, we learned about what we can expect in the future. First, we looked into the past and the future of infrastructure—what is changing and what these changes mean to us as AWS professionals. Then we defined the main differences between CloudFormation and its biggest competitor, Terraform, and why these two systems follow such different paths. At the end of the chapter, we looked into the actual value that CDK brings us.
With this in mind, you should be able to understand where to go next in your journey. Will you want to keep mastering CloudFormation? After this book, the only information you will need is found in CloudFormation's documentation. CloudFormation's development team is working hard to develop and evolve their product, so spend some time reviewing their coverage roadmap and public repository with tons of useful information.
Will you want to start practicing software development? If so, CDK is a good start for you.
I wish you...
