AWS Cloud Development Kit - From Beginner to Professional - Add Tags to CDK Resources on Creation

The video tutorial explains how to efficiently add tags to AWS resources using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). It highlights the challenges of conventional tagging methods and demonstrates how CDK can centralize and simplify the process. The tutorial covers tagging VPCs and S3 buckets, deploying these tags, and verifying them in the AWS console. It concludes with a discussion on implementing a global tagging strategy to streamline resource management.

What is one of the main challenges of tagging resources using conventional methods?

• It is not supported by AWS.

• It requires a lot of manual effort and is error-prone.

• It does not allow for custom tags.

• It is too expensive.

How does AWS CDK improve the process of tagging resources?

• By allowing tags to be added in a centralized manner.

• By providing free cloud resources.

• By automating the entire cloud formation process.

• By eliminating the need for tags.

What command is used to synthesize a CDK stack?

• cdk synth

• cdk build

• cdk init

• cdk deploy

What is the benefit of using CDK for resource management?

• It reduces the number of resources needed.

• It increases the complexity of the stack.

• It improves productivity by centralizing tag management.

• It eliminates the need for cloud formation.

What additional step is necessary when adding an S3 bucket in a CDK stack?

• Installing the S3 module if not already installed.

• Deploying a new cloud formation stack.

• Creating a new VPC.

• Adding a new IAM role.

What is the advantage of applying tags globally in a CDK stack?

• It makes the stack more secure.

• It allows for more detailed tags.

• It reduces the need to duplicate tag lines across resources.

• It increases the number of tags that can be used.

What future topic is hinted at in the video regarding tagging?

• Using a JSON configuration for global tagging.

• Creating custom VPCs.

• Deploying serverless applications.

• Integrating with third-party services.
