Welcome to CDK8s. CDK8s appears as a friendly alternative to using kubectl. CDK8s is a software development framework for defining Kubernetes applications and reusable abstractions using familiar programming languages and object-oriented APIs. Developers using cdk8s can write and share Kubernetes applications and API resources using the languages of their choice, and synthesize their configuration into standard Kubernetes YAML manifests which can be applied to any Kubernetes cluster. In this lab, you deploy an Amazon EKS application using CDK8s.
