LocalStack Demo: Deploying Resources via CDK

Simple demo application illustrating deployment of AWS resources using CDK for Terraform.

Prerequisites

• LocalStack
• Docker
• cdktf
• Terraform
• pipenv

Install dependencies

To install the dependencies, run the following command:

pipenv install

Generate CDK for Terraform

To generate CDK for Terraform constructs for Terraform providers and modules used in the project, run the following command:

cdktf get

To compile and generate Terraform configuration, run the following command:

cdktf synth

The above command will create a folder called cdktf.out that contains all Terraform JSON configuration that was generated.

Deploy the stack

To deploy the stack, run the following command:

cdktf deploy

Configuration

LocalStack currently does not provide a wrapper (similar to cdklocal or tflocal) to run CDK for Terraform. Therefore, you need to configure the AWS provider to redirect requests to the LocalStack API (http://localhost:4566 by default), using Terraform Override mechanism. Check the localstack_config.py file for an example.
