″cdk apply″ available as an Alias for cdk deploy #23553

Open watany-dev opened 1 year ago

watany-dev commented 1 year ago

Describe the feature

We would be happy to have cdk apply available as an alias to cdk deploy. There is no need to change the current deploy implementation at all!

Use Case

Here are two reasons why we recommend it

  1. consistent experience Both kubernetes and Terraform have an apply command for template upsert. This is the same operation as cdk deploy. cdk8s, cdktf also have an apply command similar to the above. we would be happy to have an alias for cdk as we would like to operate in the same way with cdk.

  2. mixing deploy and destroy Having two different cdk de*oy is confusing user perception. At least it is for me:)
