AWS CloudFormation Master Class v2 [2022]

[June 2021 Update - AWS CloudFormation Master Class v2]: the ENTIRE course has been re-recorded, and new sections and features have been added, to cover every CloudFormation feature.

[March 2019 Update]: Added two sections on Drift and Nested Stacks

AWS CloudFormation is the best way to write, deploy and maintain your AWS Infrastructure. It helps you create efficient solution architectures, all self-contained in one file. It supports most of the AWS Services and is the safest way to make your AWS Infrastructure evolve over time. 

Thanks to YAML, writing AWS CloudFormation Templates has become extremely easy and natural. AWS CloudFormation is powerful and supports Parameters, Mappings, Resources, References, Cross-Stack References, Conditions, Outputs, Metadata, and so much more.

In this course AWS CloudFormation Master Class, I will teach you about all the CloudFormation features. In just a few hours, you will know everything about CloudFormation and seamlessly deploy your infrastructure in no time. 

Take a look at these student reviews...

 "An excellent course on AWS CloudFormation. It covers everything, but this is definitely not for AWS Beginners. You need to know the fundamentals of AWS if you want to really get something out of it. It is very worthwhile for AWS System Architects, AWS Developers, and SysOps/DevOps professionals. I hold two AWS associate certifications and enjoyed this course." – Gerry H.

   "I really enjoyed the course. I spent a day or two going through the overwhelming sea of official documentation before landing on this video. Like the instructor says in the introduction, you need to have knowledge of most of the popular AWS services like EC2, security groups, key-pair, floating ips, volumes, AWS Billing, etc. before watching this as he doesn't waste any time explaining about those services. A slight knowledge of JSON or YAML is really helpful." – Purmode R.

AWS CloudFormation Master Class is the easiest way to start learning AWS CloudFormation:

> Learn CloudFormation and master all its concepts> Go through Hands-On examples to practice what we learned> Learn how to use YAML to write the CloudFormation Templates> Learn how to write your infrastructure as code> Keep all the course material as a reference for your future templates. > Learn each CloudFormation building blocks in-depth: Parameters, Mappings, Resources, Outputs, Conditions, Metadata > Learn about CloudFormation Init, the most powerful way to bootstrap your EC2 instances> Advanced CloudFormation features Drift, Nested Stacks...> So much more.

Note: This course assumes you know how to use the AWS Cloud. It will help you transform your solution architecting skills into CloudFormation templates.

The examples were easy to follow, and the pacing of the course was great.

Good basic understanding Course was amazing, I loved it best course on cloudformation Best AWS instructor Good insights with examples Nice course, with some easy to follow hands on videos.

If possible in near future, I would like to see an end to end CF template w.r.t ALB, EC2 and how to configure properties in CF template after looking at AWS documentation Really easy to follow.

His pace is easy to follow and his explanations are clear and thorough; yet not too lengthy.

Short videos, straight to the point, very easy to follow.

I find it very interesting and easy to follow.

I am starting with cloudformation in my job and the official Amazon domumentation is very complete but not easy to follow as apath for learning.

Easy to follow, simple and detailed, and well packed with the needed information.

Very easy to follow and learn.

step by step

A possible way to improve your course would have been trying to present exercises like hey let's build this cloud formation that does this thing, and then this thing, and then explain step by step while writing I wish there was one single example to show how to add IAM roles to instances or how to create an RDS instance using Cloudformation You have covered the majority of the CloudFormation artifacts and presented is an excellent way covering all possible help to have a very good start for an interested learner.

Is like "no worries about cloudformation is", only lets do it now nicely structured and step by step instruction.

step by step presentation to master CloudFormation via yaml Very good and detailed instruction in this course.

I would like to see more complex (real world) CF templates (layered with multiple CF templates... VPC, Instances, ELB, etc...) walk through step by step.

It would be really helpful if there could be a document which can walk students step by step to practice cloud formation examples.

Well organized course , step by step.

i was expecting he will teach how to code step by step but here he has code already and explaining the same which i can get it from youtube Informative, would love to see more python code integration with YAML and similar examples.

more practicals, quizes and exercises A good step by step tutorial to learn CF Easy to understand, has a good level, doesn't make quiz questions outside of the pensum.

real world

I hope teacher could give us the real world example to how to use the cloudformation at the end of the course.

I found the AWS CloudFormation Master Class, and was pleased to find an outstanding amount of real world examples as well as an excellent instructor.

I like how the instructor layered in how things are done in the real world at the beginning, while allowing you time to learn the basics.

My only gripe is I would have liked some more advanced material particularly some real world examples with non EC2 based infrastructure.

Everything is there except one single real world working project :) Hope he can refer me some url's with good examples for large infrastructure I had some previous experience with CloudFormation and this course helped cement my understanding.

I think this will help me work as AWS solution architect in real world.

That's dryness was the reason that I bought the course, as it takes a step-by-step approach or reading the actual documentation on the topic while adding real world expereince as a seasoning.

If explain more complex scenario and example that would be helpful to understand some cases in the real world.

The content taught can be very helpful and put in practice in the real world.

master class

bought this course because it said 'master class' and to be honest it was far from that.

I didn't feel like it was a 'master class', but then maybe I already know too much about CFN.

How is this a master class?

No doubt its a master class and effort can be seen in putting detail together.

This course is definitely a top-ranking CloudFormation Master Class.

Unfortunately, this course doesn't go deep enough on any Cloudformation topic and concludes each section with "read the docs", as such it can't be called a "master class".

Personally, to be considered a master class, it will obviously require you to go beyond the course and practice a bit with creating stacks.

If this is a 'master class' then demonstrate that.

its really a master class for those who has already have working knowledge of AWS.

need to know

Covers all the CloudFormation topics you need to know.

This course explained everything that I need to know in a straightforward manner.

Very nice course, it covers basically everything you need to know about AWS CloudFormation.

To be clear, as he states this course is not for beginners and those that require aws hand-holding, you need to know your way around AWS prior to taking this course IMPO.

You need to know the fundamentals of AWS if you want to really get something out of it.

It provides everything I need to know about CF as a beginner.

about cloud formation

Then I came to know about cloud formation and started searching for a course for beginners and I found your course.

Right now I feel very confident about cloud formation.

I am AWS certified solution architect and after finishing this class do not have any doubt about cloud formation and now more confident about CF.

Helped a lot, lear about cloud formation and, now, have a more structured way to use it is great.

Very excited to learn about cloud formation It's all you need to learn AWS CloudFormation.

too fast

Everything goes too fast, everything is go to the documentation and he keeps saying he could explain more but is better to read the docs.

Great content but a little bit too fast paced.

Really Good Course for Beginers Yes, helpful and not too fast paced so far I really liked the code samples and clear explanations of every section.

too fast and too short of an explanation to understand anything properly and no real time scenarios.. so just another 'classroom' theory course.

You can always pause and go back if it's too fast.

It looks good, but the authors rate of speech is too fast..but its manageable so no worries..

Sometimes speaks a bit too fast for me.
