Infrastructure as Code (IaC) gives developers the power to build and deploy services using code, so they don’t have to do much manual work. To make this method work even better, developers break down big, complex architectures into smaller, more manageable pieces. They then write code to create these parts and ensure they connect smoothly with other services.
In this Cloud Lab, you’ll explore the power of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with AWS CloudFormation, AWS SAM, and Terraform. You will construct a comprehensive infrastructure on the AWS Cloud that includes AWS DynamoDB, Lambda function, and an API Gateway. With these cloud technologies, you will use a ToDo-list React application that interacts with your IaC-deployed infrastructure.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you’ll be able to use Infrastructure as Code and develop an understanding of its principles and practical application of AWS CloudFormation, AWS SAM, and Terraform in constructing and managing cloud-based architectures.
The following is the high-level architecture diagram of the infrastructure you’ll create in this Cloud Lab:
