Lab description

AWS CloudFormation is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that is widely used to deploy resources in the AWS cloud. Using IaC makes your infrastructure and application deployments easy to define and to repeat.

Being able to update an existing AWS CloudFormation template to meet new requirements is a skill that any professional that works with the AWS cloud should aim to have.

In this hands-on challenge lab, you will be given a scenario and a set of tasks to complete to meet the scenario's requirements.

Completing this challenge requires a knowledge of AWS CloudFormation, AWS Networking, and JSON. Cloud Academy strongly recommends completing the prerequisites before attempting this challenge.

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