CDK code to demo connectivity to Mac M1 EC2 instance inside VPC using EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint.

Open source CDK code to demo connectivity to Mac M1 EC2 instance inside VPC using EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint.

This is a CDK project written in TypeScript that provisions an Apple Mac M1 Dedicated Host and EC2 Instance in a private subnet within a VPC. It also sets up an EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint for secure connectivity to the Mac M1 EC2 instance over the internet. An EventBridge rule activates a Lambda Function, ensuring the automatic termination of the EC2 Instance and the release of the Dedicated Host after a preconfigured interval of 24 hours. This way, you only incur the minimum 1-day charges (approximately $15.60) for using the Mac M1 EC2. The accompanying blog post provides a step-by-step guide on how to access the EC2 Mac Desktop UI from your PC.

The cdk.json file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.
