Craig Arcuri
The title of this course begins with "Infrastructure as Code", and what do we do with code? Well, we want to use best practices in writing code, such as storing it securely and using version control. Ultimately, we want to deploy that code, and preferably automate those deployments. So this course, while not being a deep dive on CloudFormation, will be a "deep enough" dive to be proficient with CloudFormation. Then, the focus will shift to deploying CloudFormation templates using deployment pipelines. When we deploy code, we certainly need to test it, so testing will be a significant focus in the course, as well.
