Managing AWS Infrastructure with TypeScript from Pluralsight

The CDK has quickly grown in popularity with the ease of managing infrastructure with modern techniques. This course will teach you skills that take the CDK beyond static definition with objectives designed for larger multi-environment management.

Inherently, managing infrastructure with code necessitates a higher level of planning and organization in larger-scale environments. Let’s face it, the average enterprise incorporates all types of larger environments exactly as described - “real world.” In this course, Managing AWS Infrastructure with TypeScript, you’ll learn to use best-practice techniques for creating and managing larger-scale infrastructure. First, you’ll explore the design of stacks using common multi-stack patterns. Next, you’ll discover how to efficiently reuse infrastructure concepts with the creation of multiple environments. Finally, you’ll learn how to leverage advanced techniques while creating custom CDK constructs, all while ensuring the avoidance of tight coupling, an AWS well-architected framework best practice. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of the AWS CDK needed to successfully manage larger-scale “real world” environments and applications effectively.
