What you'll learn

An application is rarely deployed once, and rarely in a single environment. In this course, Amazon CDK Environmental Best Practices and Design Considerations, you’ll learn to design your AWS Cloud Development Kit applications so they can work across multiple environments dynamically. First, you’ll explore environmental best practices and CDK profiles. Next, you’ll discover how to leverage CDK context and context methods to build a responsive CDK application. Finally, you’ll learn how to use the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store as an alternative to storing data and environmental information for use in the CDK. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of CDK application design needed to successfully deploy applications across multiple environments and situations.

With a background at a cloud hosting company, I started learning Linux and DevOps from the bottom up as a technical writer set out to document configuration management systems. Falling in love with Linux, DevOps and tech as a whole, I eventually took my ability to explain technical concepts to wide audiences to the training area, creating courses on Red Hat, SaltStack, HashiCorp, LXD, Docker, and more.
