Description
What will you achieve from this course?Welcome to Rocking AWS CloudFormation, CDK with DevOps, Interview Guide: Learn CloudFormation in it's entirety in JSON and YAML, from basic to advanced topics Big focus of this course is teaching you how to write ANY CloudFormation, rather than me giving you few templates In real-world, learning CloudFormation is not enough, you need to know how to run it using DevOps. This course will teach you how to run templates using DevOps Tools - Jenkins, Terraform and AWS CodePipelineYou will learn newest Infrastructure is Code Service - AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit), in both Typescript and Python with hands on examples. I will share my cheat sheet using which you can code any CDK!Learn SAM (Serverless Application Model) in CloudFormation to provision your Serverless Apps Interview Guide - I am a seasoned Cloud interviewer. I am sharing my personal tips and tricks so that YOU can rock your Cloud interview!About the instructorRajdeep Saha is an AWS-Professional Certified Solutions Architect working at a leading cloud provider, he has worked in Fortune top 20 companies as Distinguished Cloud Architect.
