Yocto vs AWS Cloud Development Kit: What are the differences?

Developers describe Yocto as "An open Source embedded Linux build system". It is an open source collaboration project that helps developers create custom Linux-based systems regardless of the hardware architecture. It provides a flexible set of tools and a space where embedded developers worldwide can share technologies, software stacks, configurations, and best practices that can be used to create tailored Linux images for embedded and IOT devices, or anywhere a customized Linux OS is needed. On the other hand, AWS Cloud Development Kit is detailed as "A framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code". It is an open source software development framework to model and provision your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages. It uses the familiarity and expressive power of programming languages for modeling your applications. It provides you with high-level components that preconfigure cloud resources with proven defaults, so you can build cloud applications without needing to be an expert.

Yocto and AWS Cloud Development Kit can be categorized as "Infrastructure Build" tools.

Some of the features offered by Yocto are:

  • Open source embedded Linux build system
  • package metadata
  • SDK generator

On the other hand, AWS Cloud Development Kit provides the following key features:

  • Easier cloud onboarding
  • Faster development process
  • Customizable and shareable

What are some alternatives to AWS Cloud Development Kit and Yocto?
AWS CloudFormation
You can use AWS CloudFormation’s sample templates or create your own templates to describe the AWS resources, and any associated dependencies or runtime parameters, required to run your application. You don’t need to figure out the order in which AWS services need to be provisioned or the subtleties of how to make those dependencies work.
Packer
Packer automates the creation of any type of machine image. It embraces modern configuration management by encouraging you to use automated scripts to install and configure the software within your Packer-made images.
Pulumi
Pulumi is a cloud development platform that makes creating cloud programs easy and productive. Skip the YAML and just write code. Pulumi is multi-language, multi-cloud and fully extensible in both its engine and ecosystem of packages.
GeoEngineer
GeoEngineer uses Terraform to plan and execute changes, so the DSL to describe resources is similar to Terraform's. GeoEngineer's DSL also provides programming and object oriented features like inheritance, abstraction, branching and looping.
Scalr
Scalr is a remote state & operations backend for Terraform with access controls, policy as code, and many quality of life features.
