network engineer's approach to AWS automation with CloudFormation
Last week’s video looking at the fundamentals of AWS networking and doing it from a network engineer’s perspective got a lot of positive feedback. Folks wanted more cloud and specifically a tutorial on AWS CloudFormation and Infrastructure as Code( IaC). This is a great lab walkthrough for the SysOps Admin Associate (AWS SOA) or Solutions Architect Associate (AWS SAA) certifications.
In today’s video, we’re looking at how to use CloudFormation to automate the deployment of AWS networking elements(VPC’s, Subnets, Route Tables, Associations, EC2 Instances, etc). Check out last week’s video for a breakdown of these networking elements: https://youtu.be/N59aLZE7jdA
A great resource on learning AWS networking and using CloudFormation, is the AWS Networking Fundamentals book: https://amzn.to/3voSe7z (Affiliate Code)
