AWS CloudFormation - automating infrastructure in the cloud

Intensive hands-on training on automating infrastructure in the AWS cloud using CloudFormation. The program focuses on the practical aspects of creating and managing infrastructure templates as code. Participants, through a series of hands-on exercises, learn techniques for defining, deploying and updating AWS resources in an automated manner. The training methodology is based on solving real use cases that DevOps engineers encounter in their daily work.

Issues

Infrastructure as code (IaC) in the context of the AWS cloud
CloudFormation template structure and syntax
Built-in functions and references in templates
Relationships between resources and their management
Provisioning and de-provisioning of cloud resources
Reproducible environments (development, staging, production)
Inheritance and reusability of templates
Strategies for updating infrastructure
Change-sets and rollback mechanisms
Access and security management in CloudFormation
Integration with AWS Organizations and Control Tower
Service Catalog patterns for infrastructure

Benefits

Significantly accelerate the deployment of AWS infrastructure by automating repetitive tasks.
Standardize cloud resources in accordance with organizational policies and industry best practices.
Reduce the risk of configuration errors with template-based solutions.
Effectively manage the entire infrastructure lifecycle in a controlled and documented manner.
Implement the GitOps approach to managing infrastructure as code.
Optimize the cost of maintaining cloud environments through better resource control.
Increase predictability of deployments by using idempotent operations.
