A Cloud Guru AWS Solution Architect - Associate (SAA-CO2) IaC Examples

Overview

This code implements demos and concepts from the A Cloud Guru SAA-002 course using infrastructure as code. The top level folders correspond to chapters in the course (e.g., 04-iam-and-s3). The subfolders correspond to videos (e.g., 04-s3-encryption). The number prefix aims to keep the examples in order however, the A Cloud Guru content structure may change at any time. Each subfolder contains /terraform and /cdk folders with the IaC for the exercise in the corresponding formats.

Required Software

• Node.js/NPM
• AWS CLI with credentials configured
• Terraform
• CDK

Running Terraform Examples

These examples were developed using Terraform v1.1.7. Navigate to the desired /terraform folder and run:

# initialize and install AWS provider
terraform init
# (optional) view the plan
terraform plan
# deploy
terraform apply
# clean up
terraform destroy

Running CDK Examples

These examples were developed using CDK 2.17.0+. Navigate to the desired /cdk folder and run:

# install dependencies
npm i
# an AWS account only needs to be bootstrapped once
cdk bootstrap
# (optional) generate CloudFormation to ensure code compiles
cdk synth
# deploy
cdk deploy
# clean up
cdk destroy

The /cdk folders contain many more files than the /terraform folders. However, the infrastructure is all defined in /lib/cdk-stack.ts file.
