Finding out how some properties of CDK components work are a pain in the ....
Take the EBS volume config for an EC2 instance:
blockDevices: [{
deviceName: '/dev/sdh',
mappingEnabled: true,
volume: ec2.BlockDeviceVolume.ebs(20, {
deleteOnTermination: true,
encrypted: true,
volumeType: ec2.EbsDeviceVolumeType.GENERAL_PURPOSE_SSD,
}),
}],
It takes me ages to figure out how all of this object is constructed. This repo contains simple configuration examples of AWS CDK components to help you work faster.
They are not meant as stand alone run out of the box solutions, but more of a reference to see how the props work.
The templates don't necessarily follow best practices.
