This is awesome Daniel! Great way to start AWS 2024.

[@Kevtf]

Just found your channel and been binging all your videos. Absolutely love them and more helpful than the $100 support a month to build my first app. Wish the docs/code examples were more helpful

[@BeABetterDev]

Thank you so much and welcome!

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Simply superb. Thanks for this concise but effective run through. I recently took your Learning Accelerator course, which was great for laying the foundation in navigating my way around AWS and using the foundational components to build a simple relatable app. Then this video on CDK (along with many of your others) has been. a great next step. Slowly... getting a grasp on a wealth of things. Thankyou.

[@as_wani]

Great content as always👍

[@Prakash-f9f6n]

got cleared some of basic concepts, well done!

[@amitpande1532]

Thanks a lot for this great content, really awesome and helpful !! ☺

[@craig5832]

Brilliant video thank you. I was having a hard time understanding the relationship between CDK and CloudFormation until I watched this

[@yavartaghipourazar4967]

I was looking for this, Perfect!!! thanks

[@Seven.Sundays]

This was really good. Thank you 🙏

[@tyreldelaney]

Fantastic overview. Thanks!

[@tonyf.1475]

Just what I was looking for. I learned a lot. Thank you!

[@michaeloliver6745]

Really learned a lot in this video! Thanks so much!

[@11WicToR11]

top tier tutorial, practical tips, examples....subscribed instantly

[@stadothesagsphinx21]

Thank you that was really really helpful. I had knowledge on Cloud formation but irrespective of that this video really helped good knowledge to get started for CDK. I don't have typescript experience but still i was able to grasp the knowledge. I'm ready to dive in now!

[@Ronaldograxa]

This channel is unreal.. Thanks a lot for what you do

[@icklespec9415]

Thank you for such a thorough explanation and walkthrough. I had so many holes in my knowledge which you filled in! Thank you for your generosity!

[@BeABetterDev]

You are so welcome!

[@kevinvira]

Great introductory video. I definitely need to brush up on my Typescript skills (what even is a scope?). Most examples I see seem to be using TS. This video has helped me clear up so many of my cloudy concepts. Thank you!

[@JJ-ox9gc]

Very nice tutorial ..many thanks :-)

[@SashaArsic]

Amazing course, thanks! Of course, subscribed!

[@fahimsajjad5533]

Super clear and finally helped me understand AWS CDk

[@r-khr]

Great video! Well done :)

[@fesleymedia]

Really good course, thanks for the upload!

[@elClubdelas7Cifras]

fully completed. thanks!

[@sarahboyd9521]

Thanks so much for the clear explanation!

[@echabbewal]

It seems you need to configure full access IAM role account to run CDK with its access keys . As close as root. Is it correct assumption? Also Chatgpt or now deepseek rocks : the VS code automatically import sqsdestination from app_config , But correct was this import { SqsDestination } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3-notifications';

[@ajsimwork8887]

Great video brother!

[@tgkprog]

"speed" at 19:38 is speed of coding, not runtime or deployment speed. In fact need to be sure what all the level 3 does in terms of resources and deployment before using it. Just a caution

[@liangyu3771]

aws should include your videos as their tutorial

[@BeABetterDev]

Thank you!

[@2u841r]

Awesome. Thank you

[@caseybui6949]

Thank you! I just need this and found your video!

[@rajaammar2415]

which plugins are you using in VScode? i am really stuggling to find the one that you are using which auto imports

[@Sarah-gp6en]

Super helpful, thank you

[@thetrilbies1]

Daniel, this video really me to get started with CDK. I would like to have a CDK script to setup a Ubuntu EC2 instance, install apache2 and also install the SSL certificate to apache virtual host. Would you be able to show how to add SSL certificate to EC2 where the SSL certificates would reside in project folder? Thanks.

[@yzchen9125]

Amazing, learned a lot

[@shoaibahmad.siddiqui]

Amazing, thanks

[@Max_Jean]

Great course!

[@511jagadeshj3]

" cdk init app --language typescript " after using this command in my terminal it's showing as command not found and I can't download the prerequired packages what should i do to solve this issue

[@islombekhasanov]

Super nice. thanks!

[@Sv-ry9lj]

Amazing!!!

[@BeABetterDev]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@toe44]

You should put in a code for Warp dev, hopefully you can get some affiliation

[@rishiraj2548]

Great thanks

[@seanfang398]

interesting thing, I asked Amazon Q the question 'how to link a s3 put event to a sqs queue using cdk and typescript', it gave me an inaccurate answer in which it has a lambda function used for taking the event and sending it to the queue 😅. And then I said why using lambda since s3 notification has a direct integration with sqs? then it apologized and admitted this is a unnecessary step and gave me a correct answer🤣 I am an AWS user, and I really think it's necessary to put a bit more effect on their chatbot. Lastly, I like that reverse engineering thing, the iac generator, very cool feature👍

[@roninihanini]

ty :)

[@IThinkYouKnowMe]

Can you please do a video on managing multiple application stages in cdk (dev, test, prod for different aws account and multi region)? Also a video on cdk application + cdk codepipeline in a monorepo structure? Just a single lambda example should be great. Thanks for the cdk tutorial video ❤

[@torontoyes]

I learned aws from a large codename, when I got hired at AWS, LOL. I'm still unfamiliar with the console.

[@davidaw104]

Is this the reason why we need to go to cdk because terraform is bought over by IBM?

[@ranjitr6247]

hello sir, Ranjit here can you complete AWS crash course in 2024

[@phamcongtoan1399]

+1

[@adityahpatel]

you should focus on showing this in python

[@ankitsinghrathore7557]

Bro saying a lot of words with very less information. Not a very good way to deliver a crash course.

[@Ben-ni9sp]

I prefer having declarative IaC as opposed to having it as a programming language so I don’t have much desire to learn/use cdk

[@Lagiacrus1996]

... But then why are you here 🤣

[@connectvg23]

I doubt you can achieve fully in declarative manifest. Cz there are many interdependencies that can only be dealt in a programmatic way

[@shilashm5691]

​@@connectvg23i think decalarative way is best for defining infra, over programmatic, even we if want to programmatic way to do iac we can still use pulumi

[@yatri6329]

Organisation looking for CDK

[@shilashm5691]

@@yatri6329 why not pulumi thn?

[@recepdogan6752]

you should speak slowly this is not having a conversation with someone you are teaching something here

[@JayPixie1113]

Bro forgot it was a video that he could pause 😭

[@benjamin-uc9rj]

He speaks at a super reasonable pace

[@Sarah-gp6en]

Settings -> Playback speed -> 0.25x if you want him to speak slowly

[@IroXtreme]

I actually watched this on 2x speed ...
