From ClickOps to CodeOps: Modern DevOps with AWS CDK

Still clicking around the AWS Console to create servers, databases, and networks? 😅
Let’s change that!
This meetup introduces how to move from manual cloud setup (ClickOps) to automated, repeatable, and version-controlled deployments using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) 🚀
With CDK, you write your cloud infrastructure using programming languages you already know — like TypeScript, Python, Java, or Go 🧑‍💻👩‍💻
No more clicking → Just code → deploy → repeat.
This session is designed for students, beginners, cloud learners, developers, and DevOps engineers who want to build real-world infrastructure confidently and professionally.
