Introduction to AWS CDK: Fundamentals and Benefits

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) allows defining cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages like TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, or Go, representing a paradigm shift in infrastructure as code.
Learning resources for AWS CDK include official documentation, developer guide, API reference, and FAQs, along with workshops like AWS CDK Immersion Day Workshop.
Benefits of AWS CDK include type safety for early error detection with statically-typed languages, code reusability through custom Constructs, enhanced developer productivity with multiple programming language support, and unified infrastructure and application code management.
AWS CDK facilitates enhanced scaling, governance, and compliance, offering advantages over traditional CloudFormation.
While CloudFormation requires explicit definition of all resources in JSON or YAML, AWS CDK supports multiple programming languages, IDE code completion, and automatic generation through CDK libraries.
CDK allows concise and readable code creation, reducing boilerplate code and focusing on essential infrastructure design.
By reducing boilerplate code, CDK decreases maintenance effort, improves code readability, and reduces human error, providing a more efficient infrastructure development environment.
AWS CDK represents a significant evolution in cloud infrastructure management, offering a powerful alternative to template-based approaches like CloudFormation.
In the next article of the series, core components of AWS CDK like Constructs, Stacks, and Apps will be explored to deepen understanding of infrastructure development with CDK.

Nvidia Blackwell stock woes are compounded by price hikes as more RTX 5090 GPUs soar in pricing, and I’m sick and tired of it all at this point

Third-party graphics card maker Zotac has increased pricing for Nvidia's RTX 5090 GPUs on its US online store, with the RTX 5090 Amp Extreme and the RTX 5090 Solid OC now costing $3000 and $2700 respectively, well above the official MSRP.
This follows similar price hikes by Asus and MSI for the Blackwell flagship GPU on their online stores, with $500 increases reported by Reddit users.
The demand for the RTX 5090 GPUs has surpassed supply, leading to inflated prices and challenges for potential buyers.
The ongoing price increases are attributed to factors like supply chain issues, demand exceeding availability, and import tariffs.
Even with concerns over high prices, the RTX 5090 GPUs remain out of stock, leading to frustration among PC gamers awaiting restocks.
Reports suggest waiting times of up to three months for pre-ordered RTX 5090 GPUs due to supply shortages.
Nvidia's rumored increase in RTX 5090 stock by the end of March has not materialized, leaving the market in a challenging state for both Nvidia and AMD GPUs.
The situation has prompted many PC gamers to adopt a wait-and-see approach, anticipating eventual corrections in supply and pricing.
Additionally, AMD's RX 9070 GPUs are facing similar supply issues, intensifying the challenges for consumers looking to purchase high-end graphics cards.
In the midst of pricing uncertainties and stock shortages, both Nvidia and AMD users are navigating the volatile GPU market landscape with patience and caution.
