This course is designed to teach how to use AWS CDKas a professional. You can start to migrate your cloud infrastructure to CDK right after course completion.
The course contains code examples for Python and TypeScript, but you can enroll even if you plan to use CDK with 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 CloudFormation intro and intermediate topics
CDK console commands like init, synth, deploy, destroy, doctor
