The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is an open-source framework for defining cloud infrastructure using popular programming languages like TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, and Go. This course introduces participants to the core concepts of CDK and teaches them to model, deploy, and manage cloud resources effectively. Participants learn to leverage CDK to create reusable infrastructure code and embrace modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices. This class uses the Python programming language.
