Apply and destroy stack

Commands

All available commands are described in the help file.

List

The defined stacks are listed:

cdktf list

Output:

Stack name                      Path
learn-cdktf-go                  cdktf.out/stacks/learn-cdktf-go

Synthesize

The next step is to create the hcl file with:

cdktf synth

You could step that step and go right to deploy. But with a synth before you check for errors before deploying.

Now in cdktf.out/stacks/learn-cdktf-go/cdk.tf.json the hcl file is generated

Plan

With the plan command you can see which resources will be created/changed/destroyed in the next apply run:

cdktf plan

Output

Stack: learn-cdktf-go
Resources
 + AWS_INSTANCE         cdktfgo             aws_instance.cdktfgo

Diff: 1 to create, 0 to update, 0 to delete.

With plan you check whether the crud action for the resources are as intended. Here we want to create an instance, so it’s ok.

Apply

With apply the resource(s) are created:

cdktf apply

Output while apply-ing:

⠧ Deploying Stack: learn-cdktf-go
Resources
 ⠼ AWS_INSTANCE         cdktfgo             aws_instance.cdktfgo

Summary: 0 created, 0 updated, 0 destroyed.

Output at the end:

Summary: 1 created, 0 updated, 0 destroyed.

Output: public_ip = 35.158.212.152

Destroy

For the cleanup you destroy the stack:

cdktf destroy
