Happy to see things like CDK acknowledged as a next step, and being adopted.
Though I've been fighting for that in my SRE teams. Something that is forgotten with CDK is that you can do anything else with your code. Importantly that might mean inspecting the current AWS region for the number of AZs (a use case we were looking at years ago). Couple other use cases that had come up in our discussions: - Reach out to real time config - Setup prerequisites (VPCs and networking) - Play tetris while waiting (immediate followed by "ok we're reviewing your infra setup next") |

Yes that is true and I think this is also the beauty of it. You can do anything with the code.
I know that one bad example often also is that you can change your CFN Template based on some external state (like an API) which can lead to some bad outcomes. But using a proper programming language can really speed things up a lot IMO
