# Welcome to your CDK Python project! This is a blank project for Python development with CDK. The `cdk.json` file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app. This project is set up like a standard Python project. The initialization process also creates a virtualenv within this project, stored under the `.venv` directory. To create the virtualenv it assumes that there is a `python3` (or `python` for Windows) executable in your path with access to the `venv` package. If for any reason the automatic creation of the virtualenv fails, you can create the virtualenv manually. To manually create a virtualenv on MacOS and Linux: ```shell $ python3 -m venv .venv ``` After the init process completes and the virtualenv is created, you can use the following step to activate your virtualenv. ```shell $ source .venv/bin/activate ``` If you are a Windows platform, you would activate the virtualenv like this: ```shell % .venv\Scripts\activate.bat ``` Once the virtualenv is activated, you can install the required dependencies. ```shell $ pip install -r requirements.txt ``` At this point you can now synthesize the CloudFormation template for this code. ```shell $ cdk synth ``` To add additional dependencies, for example other CDK libraries, just add them to your `setup.py` file and rerun the `pip install -r requirements.txt` command. ## Useful commands * `cdk ls` list all stacks in the app * `cdk synth` emits the synthesized CloudFormation template * `cdk deploy` deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region * `cdk diff` compare deployed stack with current state * `cdk destroy` Destroy the stacks already created * `cdk docs` open CDK documentation ## FAQ Q: When running `cdk deploy --all` I see the following error: ``` Error [ValidationError]: Template format error: Unrecognized resource types: [AWS::Timestream::Table, AWS::Timestream::Database] ``` A: That means you are trying to deploy in a region where Timestream is currently not supported. Enjoy!
