Description

AWS Cloud Development toolkit, which is most often termed as CDK lets you build IaC (infrastructure as a code) applications with the expressive power of a programming language. CDK framework is available with Javascript, Typescript, Python, Java, Go and .Net. As the name suggests, AWS CDK is offered by AWS - Amazon Web Services. This course brings you a  practical learning to learn AWS CDK features and Concepts including Constructs, Apps, Stacks, Resources & much more. Here is the quick overview on the course structure - 1. We will start with the AWS CDK basics, where we will understand the core components and constructs of CDK, supporting technologies like AWS CloudFormation and CDK CLI - the interface for CDK applications.2. In the next section, we will develop our first CDK application. This will help you accustom, the bare minimum needed to develop any CDK application. This includes the pre-requisites, setup information, APIs, code structure, CLI commands, etc.3. At this stage you will be comfortable grasping the CDK concepts, which we will target one by one. For each of the CDK concepts, a section is dedicated, where you will understand the concept in detail. These concepts include (but not limited to)- Constructs - Apps- Stacks- Environments- Resources- Tags- Assets- Permissions- Context- Aspects 4. Once you understand all the concepts. We will focus on testing CDK applications.5. Followed by best practices to develop CDK applications.6. In the Next section we will conclude the course with references, summary and the next steps.7. I have also added an optional section of examples, where you will find the CDK examples specific to some of the AWS technologies.Please note that all the CDK examples are written in Typescript.
