AWS CDK Issue on Windows 11

CDK CLI uses WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) cmdlets that is deprecated since version 3 of Power Shell. Today the cmdlet used is CIM (Common Information Model).

If you are experiencing the issue below when using Windows 11:

Command failed: wmic path win32_computersystemproduct get uuid
 ‘wmic’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
 operable program or batch file.

Passing --no-ec2creds for every CDK command should help you out until a new CDK fix is released.

cdk deploy --no-ec2creds

Reproduction steps

On Windows 11

Install cdk:

npm install -g aws-cdk

Try to initiate a cdk repo like this:

cdk init
