Write Infrastructure as Code with Python, TypeScript or other languages. Use AWS CDK and CloudFormation like a pro!

This course is designed to teach how to use AWS CDK as a professional. You can start to migrate your cloud infrastructure to CDK right after course completion.

The course contains code examples for Python and TypeScript, but you can enroll even if you plan to use CDK with another language, singe most topics are presented at an abstract level and you can easily apply the course material for your preferred programming language, maybe Java, C# or Go.

Main course topics:

  • Tools required for CDK: AWS account, IAM user for console access, AWS CLI configuration

CDK introduction:

  • AWS CloudFormation intro and intermediate topics

  • CDK console commands like init, synth, deploy, destroy, doctor

  • Exploring the generated project with CDK init

  • Use Python to write infrastructure as code

  • Use Typescript to write infrastructure as code

  • Understand the different level of CDK constructs - L1, L2, L3

  • The mental model behind CDK - with CloudFormation intrinsic functions

CDK intermediate topics:

  • CloudFormation and CDK ids

  • Intrinsic functions practice with Python and Typescript

  • How to handle multiple CloudFormation stacks

  • Python and Typescript cross stack references

Practice session: Serverless API with ApiGateway, Lambda and DynamoDb:

  • Configure the serverless app infrastructure

  • Configure aws Lambda for Python and Typescript

  • Write DynamoDB queries with boto3 for Python

  • Write DynamoDB queries with aws-sdk for typescript

  • Solve the CORS issue for APIs accessed by browsers

Practice session: CloudWatch metrics and Alarms

  • Learn AWS cloud watch features like metrics, alarms and logs

  • Configure and webhook lambda with Python or TypeScript

  • Write Infrastructure as Code for the alarm metrics with CDK

Practice session: CICD and web deployment

  • Use CDK to configure web deployment with AWS Cloud Front and s3

  • Implement CICD with GitHub actions

  • Configure CICD for Python and Typescript

  • Configure an IAM user for GitHub (not Administrator)

CDK testing:

  • Write tests for infrastructure as code and run them with Pytest or Jest

  • Learn about fine grained assertions, matchers, captors and snapshot testing

  • Analyze the Cloud Formation outputs and generated templates in order to understand the tests

  • Use best practices when testing infrastructure as code

Other CDK topics: tags, aspects, patterns.
