AWS CloudFormation and CDK for AWS-Native Infrastructure as Code

<p>Follow Maya Okonkwo, the first platform engineer at logistics startup Coastline Freight Analytics, as she replaces a hand-built, console-clicked AWS account with real infrastructure as code. Across three hands-on lessons you will write a CloudFormation template with Parameters, Resources, and Outputs, deploy it as a stack and preview production updates with change sets, rewrite the same infrastructure in the AWS CDK using TypeScript and L1/L2/L3 constructs with cdk synth, diff, and deploy, and finish with a practical framework for choosing between CloudFormation and CDK, including why CDK's generated CloudFormation template in cdk.out is often the fastest way to debug a failed deploy.</p>
