Introduction to AWS CDK0:36
Creating an AWS account3:44
Create AWS account by signing up with an email and password, verify via SMS, enter credit card details, select free basic plan, and sign in to the console as root.
Initial Environment setup to use the CDK, appendix section and checking for node1:40
Verify node is installed and check the version with node --version, since AWS CDK requires node. Consult the appendix for installation steps and environment setup.
Installing the AWS CLI and configuring it5:30
Install the AWS CLI on macOS or Windows, configure a profile and region us-east-1 with YAML output, then create an IAM user with programmatic access and test aws ec2 describe-instances.
Installing the AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit)2:15
Install the AWS CDK by confirming node and npm, install globally with npm install -g, use sudo or administrator rights when needed, then verify with cdk --version.

Creating our first CDK app in TypeScript using CDK int6:32
On this lecture you'll also find the link to the GitHub repository with the source code
Adding a S3 Bucket to our Stack using CDK5:52
learn to add an S3 bucket to a CDK stack in TypeScript, install compatible CDK packages, import the bucket, set scope and id, and configure optional encryption in bucket props.
Learning to navigate the AWS CDK Documentation4:12
Learn to navigate the AWS CDK documentation, create and encrypt an S3 bucket with KMS, and compare level one, two, and three constructs while reviewing CFN resources and experimental features.

Creating our Template file using CDK synthesize7:40
Discover how to generate a CloudFormation template with CDK synthesize by defining a bucket and exporting its name with cfn output, creating a template in the templates folder.
Testing for the resource and the output infrastructure creation from CDK2:25
Installing the assert package and creating testing on the CDK Resource Created3:56
Install the AWS CDK assert package and write tests for a simple app stack, importing assert, and validating an S3 bucket resource. Run npm test to confirm both tests pass.

Laying the groundwork for our lambda function created with CDK6:21
Create a lambda using the CDK NodeJS construct and enable ES module interop in tsconfig to write TypeScript with import syntax, while managing a mono repo setup and npm dependencies.
Creating the handler of our CDK lambda function in TypeScript4:54
Creating our AWS Lambda Resource in the CDK5:59
Create an AWS lambda resource in the CDK, configure the entry path with path.join, specify a nodejs runtime, and deploy it in the same stack.
Creating and deploying our TypeScript Lambda Content to the CDK Lambda3:52
Explore deploying a TypeScript Lambda with the AWS CDK, including diff checks, transpiling to JavaScript, Docker-based packaging, and creating a lambda function and its role through CDK deploy.
Testing our CDK Lambda function and understand CloudWatch logs4:25
Demonstrate testing a CDK Lambda function in AWS, create test events, deploy changes, and monitor CloudWatch logs for duration, memory, and log outputs.

Requirements

Basic knowledge on AWS
Basic knowledge on TypeScript (or coding in general)

Description

AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)

Welcome to the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) Developer Guide. This document provides information about the AWS CDK, which is a software development framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code and provisioning it through AWS CloudFormation.

AWS CloudFormation enables you to:

Create and provision AWS infrastructure deployments predictably and repeatedly.

Leverage AWS products such as Amazon EC2, Amazon Elastic Block Store, Amazon SNS, Elastic Load Balancing, and Auto Scaling.

Build highly reliable, highly scalable, cost-effective applications in the cloud without worrying about creating and configuring the underlying AWS infrastructure.

Use a template file to create and delete a collection of resources together as a single unit (a stack).

Use the AWS CDK to define your cloud resources in a familiar programming language. The AWS CDK supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, and C#/.Net.

Who this course is for:

Developers that want to manage they infrastructure as they manage they code
DevOps that want to further develop they skills
Developers that want to be able to manage infrastructure in code
