The AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) is a powerful open-source framework for defining cloud infrastructure in familiar programming languages like TypeScript, Python, Java, and C#. Instead of writing long, static YAML or JSON files, AWS CDK allows developers and DevOps engineers to use code to model, provision, and manage AWS resources.

This course provides a hands-on journey from CDK basics to advanced infrastructure patterns, covering topics such as constructs, stacks, pipelines, and multi-environment deployments. By the end, you’ll be able to build production-ready infrastructure as code solutions on AWS.

What You Will Gain

  • Understand Infrastructure as Code (IaC) concepts.

  • Install and configure AWS CDK in your environment.

  • Define AWS resources using constructs, stacks, and apps.

  • Manage networking, compute, storage, and IAM with CDK.

  • Build CI/CD pipelines with CDK Pipelines.

  • Deploy secure, scalable, and automated infrastructures.

  • Integrate AWS CDK with CloudFormation, Terraform, and DevOps workflows.

Who This Course Is For

  • Cloud engineers & DevOps professionals using AWS.

  • Developers who want to manage infrastructure with code.

  • Solutions architects designing cloud-native architectures.

  • Students and professionals preparing for AWS certifications.

  • Startups & enterprises seeking faster and more reliable infrastructure automation.

How to Use This Course Effectively

  1. Start with IaC basics before diving into CDK constructs.

  2. Follow the hands-on labs and deploy sample stacks.

  3. Experiment with multiple languages (TypeScript, Python, etc.).

  4. Apply CDK patterns to real-world infrastructure.

  5. Integrate with CI/CD pipelines for automation.

  6. Deploy early and often to understand deployment workflows.

Interview Questions Back to Top

  1. What is AWS CDK?
    AWS CDK is an open-source framework for defining AWS infrastructure in code using languages like TypeScript, Python, and Java.

  2. How does CDK relate to CloudFormation?
    AWS CDK synthesizes code into CloudFormation templates, which are then deployed by AWS.

  3. What are constructs in CDK?
    Constructs are the building blocks of CDK apps, representing AWS resources or higher-level abstractions.

  4. What’s the difference between stacks and apps in CDK?

  • App: The root container for your infrastructure.

  • Stack: A unit of deployment (mapped to a CloudFormation stack).

  1. What are L1, L2, and L3 constructs?

  • L1: Direct CloudFormation resource mappings.

  • L2: Higher-level AWS abstractions.

  • L3: Patterns (pre-configured best practices).

  1. How do you manage multiple environments with CDK?
    By using context values, environment variables, and separate stacks for dev, staging, and production.

  2. What is CDK Pipelines?
    A construct library for building CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline.

  3. How do you handle security in CDK?
    By defining IAM policies, encryption, and secrets management in infrastructure code.

  4. Can CDK be used with languages other than TypeScript?
    Yes, CDK supports Python, Java, C#, and Go in addition to TypeScript.

  5. What are the benefits of CDK over Terraform?
    CDK allows developers to use native programming languages, while Terraform uses HCL. CDK integrates deeply with AWS services.
