The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source software development framework to model and provision your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages. When you first create an AWS CDK application, you define a top-level AWS CDK app.

When you attempt to deploy an AWS CDK app that contains multiple environments, managing the credentials for each environment can become difficult and usually involves using custom scripts. This post shows how to use an AWS CDK credential plugin to simplify and streamline deploying AWS CDK apps that contain multiple stacks to deploy to multiple environments.

When you run an AWS CDK command such as synth or deploy, the AWS CDK CLI needs to perform actions against the AWS account that is defined for the stack.
