In this post I will explore 4 different methods that can be used to pass configuration values to the AWS CDK. We will first look at using the context variables in the cdk.json file, then move those same variables out to YAML files. The third method will read the exact same config via SDK(API) call from AWS SSM Parameter Store. The fourth and my favourite is a combination of two and three in conjunction with using GULP.js as a build tool.

👋 I'm Rehan!

I make things go fast with AWS Serverless

Turning an unhealthy amount of coffee into outcomes by delivering value beyond code.

I am an AWS Community Hero and Founder of Cloud Glance which I am building in public.

I’m a passionate multilingual developer/architect focusing on AWS, Serverless and all that AWS has to offer.

I organize the AWS PTA Meetup and do the occasional presentation as well. I am an avid blogger, helping the AWS community where possible, always lurking in all the #aws slack channels and answering questions.

I have a strong background in Electronic and Electronic Communications Engineering, but my focus has since shifted to focus on everything AWS.

My favorite languages include JS, TS, Golang and PHP, but I am multilingual and have touched on many industries and technologies.
