Demonstration of using AWS CDK
/*
I was curious as to whether it was possible to make resources
created using CDK constructs work with raw CloudFormation
resources and vice versa.
This aws-cdk app demonstrates a VPC and an ELB that belongs to it
in different, dependant stacks, leveraging CFN outputs / imports,
and leveraging CDK's method of passing information from one
stack to another.
