AWS CDK for professionals (Python and TypeScript)

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

The course contains code examples for Pythonand TypeScript, but you can enroll even if you plan to use CDKwith 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 CloudFormationintro and intermediate topics

• CDKconsole commands like init, synth, deploy, destroy, doctor

• Exploring the generated project with CDK init

• Use Pythonto write infrastructure as code

• Use Typescriptto write infrastructure as code

• Understand the different level of CDKconstructs – L1, L2, L3

• The mental model behind CDK– with CloudFormationintrinsic functions

CDK intermediate topics:

• CloudFormationand CDKids

• Intrinsic functions practice with Pythonand Typescript

• How to handle multiple CloudFormationstacks

• Python and Typescript cross stack references

Practice session: ServerlessAPI with ApiGateway, Lambdaand DynamoDb:

• Configure the serverlessapp infrastructure

• Configure awsLambda for Pythonand Typescript

• Write DynamoDBqueries with boto3 for Python

• Write DynamoDBqueries with aws-sdk for typescript

• Solve the CORS issue for APIs accessed by browsers

Practice session: CloudWatch metrics and Alarms

CDK testing:

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

• Learn about fine grained assertions, matchers, captorsand snapshottesting

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

• Use best practices when testing infrastructure as code

Other CDKtopics: tags, aspects, patterns.
