CDK CLI Commands
CDK Express Pipeline leverages the AWS CDK CLI to manage deployments. The following commands are essential for deploying your CDK applications.
--exclusively
Section titled “--exclusively”The --exclusively flag deploys only the specified stacks and their dependencies, skipping all other stacks in the
application. Without this flag, the CDK CLI may deploy stacks in other waves or stages before your selected stack.
By using --exclusively, you ensure that only the stacks you specify are deployed, as their dependencies have already
been deployed in previous waves or stages.
cdk deploy 'Wave2_*' --exclusively--concurrency
Section titled “--concurrency”The --concurrency flag sets the maximum number of stacks to deploy in parallel. A recommended default is 10,
allowing the CDK CLI to deploy up to 10 stacks simultaneously. If you encounter AWS account or region quota limits
during deployment, reduce this number. You can also increase it to deploy more stacks in parallel, but be mindful of
AWS quotas.
cdk deploy '**' --concurrency 10
