Interesting, not heard of CDK before! Kind of similar? As long as the language is Python I suppose! Would be possible to integrate with other languages too I guess, not something I’ve ever looked into though.

Totally agree on templating which is why inventories have always been python code just as operations, giving maximum flexibility (with some complexity/type confusion drawbacks).

CDK just generates AWS CloudFormation files (There is CDK for TF as well as said before, but is not the AWS official implementation). It's like having a few constructs to allow you generate a YAML or JSON file.
