Welcome to AWS CDK with Python Step by Step to learn how to write infrastructure code using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) v2 and Python.

By taking this course, you will understand AWS CDK concepts in detail with hands-on examples in each topic. This is a new course covering only the latest AWS CDK version, v2.

• 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.

This course is built by Emre Yilmaz,

• a senior AWS architect and developer holding all Professional and Associate level AWS certifications since 2018.

• a software engineer and cloud architect with a BS in Computer Engineering, an MS in Financial Engineering, and more than 17 years of professional experience.

• an AWS instructor with highly-rated AWS courses on AWS CloudFormation and AWS CodePipeline and helped more than ten thousand students 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.
