Welcome to the most comprehensive AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) - V2 on Udemy from an instructor with actual enterprise hands-on implementation experience migrating large number of workloads for Fortune 100 companies using AWS CDK V2.

This is a course for AWS CDK Beginners planning to gain expertise in provisioning AWS Resources using AWS CDK v2 in Typescript with no previous coding experience or experience in a different programming language.

Includes a Section on AWS Generative AI Tool - AWS CodeWhisperer to auto generate CDK Code with exceptional results.

It starts from absolute basics on AWS CDK v2, then builds on that to create AWS Resources using AWS CDK  and finally culminating in developing advanced three real-world enterprise use case, developing the CI-CD Pipeline using AWS CDK and deploy AWS services  developed using CDK  through the pipeline and finally share the best practices  from Real World Enterprise Cloud Migration using CDK.

If you are an advanced user of TypeScript and /or AWS CDK , please review the course content to determine suitability as this course will start from absolute basics.

I strongly believe this is the best AWS CDK V2 course on Internet. If you are looking to learn AWS CDK, try out the course and you will be amazed to see how much you can learn through a 5 hour course. If you donot like it, comes with 30 day money back guarantee from Udemy.
