Description

This course covers the complete AWS Application Stacks using Cloud Development Kit. Learn to deploy simple-to-complex resources in AWS using CDK and launch several stacks and templates. This course assumes you know how to use the AWS Cloud. It will help you transform your solution architecting skills into CDK Stack.

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source software development framework to define your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages. In this course, we will start by understanding the basics of the AWS Cloud Development Kit and the need for CDK. You will create your first CDK Stack and learn to deploy It along with planning and visualizing your deployments. You will learn about resources and reusability in CDK stacks and learn to launch EC2 using CDK. Furthermore, you will learn to create IAM users and groups and how to import pre-existing CloudFormation templates into CDK. You will learn to manage fully managed message queues for microservices. In the last part of the course, you will learn to create Lambda for event-driven architecture, schedule your Lambda function: Cron in the cloud, and understand about CloudWatch live dashboards and widgets. You will also learn to build a serverless containerized chat application. By the end of this short course, you will have an in-depth understanding of the AWS Cloud Development Kit.
