What about L2s like:

• @cdktf/aws-ec2
• @cdktf/aws-eks
• @cdktf/aws-ecs

And then we have L2s for cdktf out-of-the-box. Any plans about this?

L2 / L3 constructs are certainly something which is on our radar. In the context of AWS, I still would love to somehow leverage what has been built for the AWS CDK already. There are a few ideas floating around how to make this happen, but none of them is really straightforward. There's another issue for AWS CDK compatibility as well - see #244

There are no immediate plans to start tackling this. However, generally speaking I think this is the topic which will have the biggest impact.

@guan840912 / @pahud Out of curiosity: how would you approach this?

Note for everyone stumbling on this issue: Alongside CDKTF 0.7 we released a first technical preview of the AwsTerraformAdapter (docs, repo) which enables you to use AWS CDK constructs with the CDK for Terraform. It is currently TypeScript only (issue) and comes with limitations. Have a look at the examples or docs if you're interested 👀
