Learn to write infrastructure code with AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) & Python from AWS-certified DevOps expert.

What you'll learn
Use AWS CDK and Python to write infrastructure code efficiently to avoid human errors with automation while creating AWS resources.
Understand the differences between L1, L2, and L3 (patterns) constructs to choose the most appropriate ones for your solution.
Learn to use the AWS CDK Toolkit to create CDK applications, synthesize templates and deploy your stacks.
Divide your AWS architecture into multiple CDK stacks to organize them more efficiently and launch more resources per stack.
Learn to use AWS CDK Construct Library as a reference to find the constructs for your solution.
Use L2 constructs and CDK patterns (L3) to create your AWS architecture with sensible defaults according to most used scenarios.
Use L1 constructs to map CloudFormation resources one-to-one when needed.
Use AWS CDK and Python to allow network connections, initialize EC2 instances, and upload S3 assets easily with object-oriented programming.
Use AWS CDK aspects to perform compliance checks on your AWS infrastructure before deployment.
Write unit tests for your constructs with CDK's fine-grained assertions and Pytest framework to detect the problems in your infrastructure earlier.
Requirements
Basic Python programming knowledge
Intermediate level AWS knowledge of core services
Experience in terminal usage to run commands
Prior AWS CloudFormation knowledge is an advantage but not a requirement.
Description
Welcome to
AWS CDK with Python Step by Step
to learn how to write infrastructure code using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and Python.
By taking this course, you will understand AWS CDK concepts in detail with hands-on examples in each topic.
You will learn to use the
AWS CDK Construct Library
and various levels of
CDK constructs, L1, L2, and L3 (CDK patterns)
, to define AWS resources for your solution.
You will use
AWS CDK Toolkit
to create your CDK applications, synthesize templates, and deploy your resources as CloudFormation stacks.
You will use AWS CDK and Python with the power of
object-oriented programming
to configure your AWS resources with sensible defaults according to most used scenarios, easily add related resources, grant permissions, use metrics, allow network connections, upload assets to S3, and so on.
You will learn to
organize your AWS architecture into multiple stacks
by configuring cross-stack references or nested stacks with AWS CDK.
You will learn to use
AWS CDK aspects
to perform compliance checks on your AWS infrastructure before deployment or make corrections.
You will learn unit
testing your AWS CDK constructs with fine-grained assertions
using the
Pytest
framework to detect possible problems earlier.
Ultimately, you will become a proficient AWS CDK developer using Python as the programming language.

until now.
What do you need for this course?
This course uses Python as the programming language. So a
basic Python programming experience
is expected.
Basic terminal experience
is also needed to execute commands.
Intermediate-level of AWS knowledge
is essential to understand the examples made.
An AWS free-tier AWS account in which you have admin privileges to make the examples.
Nice to have:
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) depends on AWS CloudFormation. So having prior AWS CloudFormation knowledge and experience will be an advantage. However, it is not a must to learn AWS CDK.
You can watch the free previews on the course curriculum to get an idea about the teaching style.
Then, join this course to learn AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) with Python step by step!
Who this course is for:
Developers, system architects, and DevOps engineers who want to create AWS architecture with CDK and Python.
CDK and Python developers who want to understand CDK concepts better and use CDK more efficiently.
CloudFormation developers who are curious about switching to Python to write infrastructure code.
