Description

With AWS CloudFormation you can deploy resources in AWS quickly, in an organised fashion, and - most importantly - across multiple regions!

This course will teach you how to write, deploy and understand CloudFormation templates and use the AWS CloudFormation service.

After this course, you will be able to architect solutions and re-use the course templates to save you time and money.

In this course, we will start with the very basics of CloudFormation, understanding how a template is formed. And there will be several hands-on labs to enable you to get familiar with the service.

The hands-on labs will show you how to deploy and modify your stacks. We will create a complete network stack, S3 Buckets and a 3-tier application infrastructure using a CMS, as well as using nested templates and CLI tools.

Who this course is for:

  • AWS beginners with some knowledge about the cloud
  • Developers who want to build massive scalable systems
  • Solution architects (not just developers) who want to understand more about CloudFormation
