Infrastructure as code (IaC) is used to automate the provisioning and management of enterprise infrastructure. With the help of this course, explore AWS CloudFormation to provision and manage enterprise infrastructure using the IaC model.
Get started by examining how the IaC model is used to provision infrastructure and learning more about the features of AWS CloudFormation, such as stacks, stack sets, templates, and template components. You will then discover how continuous delivery can be used with CodePipeline to automatically create, test, and prepare CloudFormation builds for production release. This course will also help you investigate AWS CloudFormation security features and the use of AWS CloudFormation Designer.
Once you've completed this course, you'll have a fundamental understanding of AWS CloudFormation and its features and be a step further in preparing for the AWS Certified Developer - Associate 2021 certification exam.
