Lab description

The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source software development framework used to define your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages. The accompanying CLI command, also known as the AWS CDK Toolkit, is the primary tool for interacting with an AWS CDK application. Understanding the various features and use cases of the CDK Toolkit will allow you to develop and share your cloud applications as efficiently as possible.

If you are unfamiliar with any assessed topics below, Cloud Academy recommends completing the courses and labs mentioned in the prerequisites before attempting this lab challenge.

This hands-on lab challenge will test your practical ability to interact with the AWS CDK Toolkit and Python to satisfy a set of requirements in a production-like AWS environment. You will be presented with a task and set of requirements you must fulfill to pass the challenge.

This is a real environment, which means you can prove your knowledge in an applied way, substituting multiple choice questions for a dynamic performance-based exam situation.
