AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 518

Which AWS service allows users to model and provision AWS resources using common programming languages?

Answer options

• A. AWS CloudFormation
• B. AWS CodePipeline
• C. AWS Cloud Development kit (AWS CDK)
• D. AWS Systems Manager

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) allows developers to define infrastructure as code using mainstream programming languages like Python, TypeScript, and Java. AWS CloudFormation relies on JSON or YAML instead of standard programming languages. AWS CodePipeline is a CI/CD service, and AWS Systems Manager is used for operational management, making them incorrect choices.
