AWS CDK is splitting Construct Library and CLI
Open Source Blog
AWS is changing how the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) manages its Construct Library and CLI versioning:
- Starting February 2025, CDK CLI and Construct Library will have independent release cycles
- Version numbers will no longer be synchronized
- CLI will start at version 2.1000.0, while Construct Library continues its current version line
- The major version will remain at 2.x to maintain automatic dependency updates
- CLI source code will move to a new GitHub repository: aws/aws-cdk-cli
Key recommendations for users:
- Keep CLI at the latest version
- Use Construct Library version as the primary CDK version
- Update scripts that assume a single version number
The change aims to provide more agility in development and faster improvements to the CDK framework.
