AWS CDK for Professionals – Python & TypeScript
Course Description
AWS CDK for Professionals (Python & TypeScript) is an advanced, hands-on training program designed for cloud engineers, DevOps professionals, and developers who want to master infrastructure as code (IaC) using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). This course dives deep into CDK’s capabilities, teaching you how to model, deploy, and manage AWS infrastructure using familiar programming languages—Python and TypeScript.
You’ll learn how to architect and automate cloud environments using CDK constructs, stacks, and apps. The course covers best practices for reusable components, CI/CD integration, multi-account deployments, security, testing IaC, and scaling CDK for enterprise-grade environments. Real-world projects demonstrate how to build modern, production-ready architectures using AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, DynamoDB, VPCs, IAM, S3, CloudFront, Step Functions, and more.
Whether you prefer Python or TypeScript, this course ensures you gain the skills needed to write clean, maintainable IaC and streamline cloud provisioning through automation.
