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:
