# AWS CDK Python Setup Instructions


This skill provides setup guidance for working with **AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit)** projects using **Python**.


---


Prerequisites


Before starting, ensure the following tools are installed:


- **Node.js** ≥ 14.15.0 — Required for the AWS CDK CLI

- **Python** ≥ 3.7 — Used for writing CDK code

- **AWS CLI** — Manages credentials and resources

- **Git** — Version control and project management


---


Installation Steps


1. Install AWS CDK CLI

bash 
npm install -g aws-cdk
cdk --version

2. Configure AWS Credentials

bash 
# Install AWS CLI (if not installed)
brew install awscli

# Configure credentials
aws configure

Enter your AWS Access Key, Secret Access Key, default region, and output format when prompted.


3. Create a New CDK Project

bash 
mkdir my-cdk-project
cd my-cdk-project
cdk init app --language python

Your project will include:

- `app.py` — Main application entry point

- `my_cdk_project/` — CDK stack definitions

- `requirements.txt` — Python dependencies

- `cdk.json` — Configuration file


4. Set Up Python Virtual Environment

bash 
# macOS/Linux
source .venv/bin/activate

# Windows
.venv\Scripts\activate

5. Install Python Dependencies

bash 
pip install -r requirements.txt

Primary dependencies:

- `aws-cdk-lib` — Core CDK constructs

- `constructs` — Base construct library


---


Development Workflow


Synthesize CloudFormation Templates

bash 
cdk synth

Generates `cdk.out/` containing CloudFormation templates.


Deploy Stacks to AWS

bash 
cdk deploy

Reviews and confirms deployment to the configured AWS account.


Bootstrap (First Deployment Only)

bash 
cdk bootstrap

Prepares environment resources like S3 buckets for asset storage.


---


Best Practices


- Always activate the virtual environment before working.

- Run `cdk diff` before deployment to preview changes.

- Use development accounts for testing.

- Follow Pythonic naming and directory conventions.

- Keep `requirements.txt` pinned for consistent builds.


---


Troubleshooting Tips


If issues occur, check:


- AWS credentials are correctly configured.

- Default region is set properly.

- Node.js and Python versions meet minimum requirements.

- Run `cdk doctor` to diagnose environment issues.
