Would you like to start learning AWS CloudFormation with well-organized courses?

Welcome to learn AWS CloudFormation step by step from a senior AWS architect with hands-on examples and detailed explanations! I designed AWS CloudFormation topics into two courses to teach you efficiently according to your knowledge level. Now, you are on the first step!

This course is for beginners to AWS CloudFormation. You will learn most of the Associate-leveltopics, excel at the basics, and learn some intermediate-level features like change sets. Ultimately, you will start using Cloud Formation for your daily needs on AWS. 

This course also serves as a basis for my AWS CloudFormation Step by Step: Intermediate to Advanced course, which teaches more advanced, Professional-level AWS CloudFormation concepts. Thus, you can continue your Cloud Formation journey with it afterward.

Why learn from me?

? AWS verified my knowledge and experience at the top level. I am a senior AWS consultant holding AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professionaland AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professionalcertifications in addition to all 3 Associate certificates.

? I have a software engineering background, a BS degree in Computer Engineering, and more than 15 years of professional experienceas a developer and cloud architect in corporates and startups.

? I have been using AWS since 2013. I have also been using AWS CloudFormation since the early days. So you will benefit from my experience as well as my knowledge.

? I learned by doing. I teach both theory and practice according to the AWS best practices. I explain the features with hands-on examples and why to use them with advantages and disadvantages.

What is the course structure?

Section 1:Understand what AWS CloudFormation is and learn to create and delete stacks from existing templates.

Section 2: Start writing your own templates with YAML and define resources in them. You will also learn to update your stacks by editing your templates.

Section 3:Increase the reusability of your templates with parameters. You will make many examples with different parameter types, constraints, etc.

Section 4:Define the Metadata and Mappings sections in your templates to enhance them more.

Section 5:Create resources and configure their attributes conditionally using the Conditions section. You will also learn how to define outputs for your stacks.

Section 6:Create and execute AWS CloudFormation change sets to update your stacks safely.

Section 7: Learn to manage your stacks and change sets using the cloudformation commands of AWS CLI as an alternative to AWS CloudFormation Console.

Section 8: Conclusion. Now you are ready to learn advanced-level CloudFormation with AWS CloudFormation Step by Step: Intermediate to Advanced.

As a result,

? You will be able to use AWS CloudFormation daily.

?You will be able to write your Cloud Formation templates using YAML.

?We will use the AWS Ireland region (eu-west-1) during the course. But you will also learn to create re-usable, region-independent CloudFormation templates as you progress!

?You will gain a solid basis on AWS CloudFormation and be ready to learn more advanced features with my AWS CloudFormation Step by Step: Intermediate to Advanced course.

So, is this course for you?

As a beginner, it will be best to concentrate on the Cloud Formation features that you will need most at the beginning. I designed this course for beginners to AWS CloudFormation.So, I assume that you have no or little experience in it.

You need to have intermediate-level AWS knowledgethat will be enough to use core AWS services in our examples. This course focuses on AWS CloudFormation.

This isNOT forintermediate-level AWS CloudFormation users looking for more advanced features.I teach them in my AWS CloudFormation Step by Step: Intermediate to Advancedcourse, which continues from this one.

Are you unsure of your Cloud Formation knowledge level? Then, start with this Beginner to Intermediate course and continue with the advanced course.

If you want to start using AWS CloudFormation to manage your AWS infrastructure as code and automate the provisioning of your AWS resources, then you are in the right place.

Join me in this course to start learning AWS CloudFormation step by step!
