About the course

Applying Infrastructure as Code and Serverless Technologies to AWS Deployments is a mini-course which is designed to stand on its own or be part of a Learning Path. The overall intent of the Learning Patch is to prepare the student for the AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional exam.

The course has four distinct sections:

  1. Elastic Beanstalk Deployments will give the student an in-depth look at the features and use cases for using Elastic Beanstalk in deployments.
  2. Lambda, API Gateway, and State Machine Deployments will look at these three services individually and also how they interact to facilitate deployments.
  3. AWS CloudFormation begins by giving the student a thorough understanding of CloudFormation and concludes by detailing the many ways that CloudFormation interacts with other services to complete deployments.
  4. A small, but detailed section on AWS OpsWorks which will prepare the student for using OpsWorks and any OpsWorks challenges which may arise on the certification exam.

What you will need

  • This mini-course focuses heavily on CloudFormation, Elastic Beanstalk, OpsWorks, and Lambda. Although not required, an Associate level knowledge of these services is very helpful. Also, if following the DevOps Pro Certification track, having taken the prior mini-course 'Using DevOps Automation For Deployments' is recommended.

What are Hands-on Labs

What's the difference between theoretical knowledge and real skills? Practical real-world experience. That's where Hands-on Labs come in! Hands-on Labs are guided, interactive experiences that help you learn and practice real-world scenarios in real cloud environments. Hands-on Labs are seamlessly integrated in courses, so you can learn by doing.
