Paolo Deshon welcomes you to the aws cdk masterclass and shares his roles as software engineer, mobile developer, and cloud engineer who teaches cloud engineering and software development.
Set up Node.js, install the CLI, install VS Code, download credentials, configure profiles, and install the CDK to prepare your development environment for AWS CDK projects.
Install node.js by selecting your operating system on the download site, run the installer, and test with node -version to confirm a version appears.
Install VS Code, the recommended lightweight code editor for this course. Download the appropriate version for Windows or Mac, explore the docs, and start coding quickly.
Learn how AWS CDK pricing works: the SDK is free, but resources you provision may incur costs; monitor pricing and clean up resources to avoid surprises.
Explore the CDK building blocks from app, stacks, and constructs to resources, and see how the CDK synthesizes source code into a CloudFormation template for deployment via the CDK CLI.
Explore how the AWS CDK organizes infrastructure from the top app to stacks and resources, using constructs to provision DynamoDB, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, and CloudWatch.
Master essential CDK commands such as diff and synth to generate CloudFormation templates, compare code with deployments, and perform hot swap deployments for Lambda resources.
Learn to save a quote to DynamoDB by implementing a post quotes path, invoking a shared integration handler, deploying with CDK, and testing via API Gateway.
Add an id-based path and delete method in the api, connect to a Lambda integration, and test deletion via api gateway and CloudWatch logs.
Learn to build a get-quote operation with a crud API using cdk, fetch a single item from the database via path parameters, deploy, and test the API.
Create a thumbnail service that triggers a Lambda on S3 image uploads to generate thumbnails, store them back in S3, and save metadata for an API Gateway.
Set up S3 event notifications to trigger a lambda function when an object is created, configure S3 notification, lambda destination, and policy permissions, then deploy and test.
AWS CDK Framework (Cloud Development Kit) is the best way to build scalable, reliable serverless (and other AWS resources) applications and deploy them in Amazon Web Services.
The great thing about the AWS CDK is that you don't need to worry about learning YAML/JSON syntax in order to create AWS resources for your cloud infrastructures - It's all code based - meaning you'll be writing code using a familiar modern programming language like Javascript, Typescript, Java, Go, Python...!
In this course, you will dive right in and learn how to create AWS resources and deploy them to AWS in no time!
In a nutshell, you will:
No longer need to create serverless infrastructures and any AWS resources using the AWS Management Console manually
Now have all your configurations and deployments in a project-structured manner using your favorite programming language
You no longer need to package your function into a zip file and manually upload them to the AWS cloud - use the A, allCLI to do all that for you!
You no longer need to understand the nighty-gritty, under-the-hood, jargon when it comes to provisioning AWS resources - with the AWS CDK, all that is abstracted out - all you focus on is write code and build your cloud infrastructures!
With the AWS CDK CLI and CDK Framework, you do all that using the Command Line Interface quicker!
With AWS CDK, you write code as infrastructure and you can easily share the infrastructure design patterns with other teams within the organization or, if you choose so, with the public.
The AWS CDK is based on modern programming paradigms and lets you build reliable, cost-effective applications in the cloud with the power of a programming language (Python, Go, Java, Javascript, Typescript, C#).
For this course, we'll deploy several real-world applications created with the AWS CDK:
An automated thumbnail generation service on S3
A REST API using AWS API Gateway & Lambda
An Email Service Using Lambda, SES, API Gateway, SQS
An EC2 Instance with User-data that serves a simple webserver
An ALB Service
Scheduled Events (EventBridge)
After finishing the course, you will be confident in being able to write complex applications using the CDK.
In this course, you will be learning, by doing, everything you need to know to be proficient with the AWS CDK and integrate with many different AWS services!
