Welcome back, cloud builders! In Week 8, we tried our hands at the AWS 101 Workshop by implementing everything we previously deployed manually—this time using AWS CDK. This was a huge milestone in our journey toward Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Let’s dive into the recap.
Week 8 Highlights
This week, we transitioned from a simple AWS Lambda Function to fully automating our infrastructure using AWS CDK. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Deploy the AWS 101 Workshop with CDK:
We successfully deployed the same infrastructure covered in previous weeks but using AWS CDK instead of manual setup.
2. Created and Configured Our CDK Project:
- Set up networking (VPC, subnets, security groups)
- Deploy EC2 instances
- Implement storage solution (S3)
- Set up load balancing
3. Next Steps:
- Configure IAM roles and permissions
- Set up auto-scaling
4. Explored the AWS Console to Inspect Deployed Resources:
- Validated the deployed infrastructure.
- Checked CloudFormation stacks and stack events.
