Modern Cloud Infrastructure with AWS and Pulumi

Have you or your team missed or forgotten to deploy a change that was in your staging or development environment? Does your environment lack consistency or fail during deployment? Cloud engineering democratizes the cloud for software engineers by adopting and applying software engineering practices such as version control, tests, continuous integration, and continuous deployments to your infrastructure. Pulumi and Terraform are both open-source projects that let you can manage infrastructure as code on any cloud.

Pulumi has the advantage of using general purpose languages like Python and JavaScript instead of learning a domain-specific language like HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) which Terraform requires. By the end of this course, you will learn how to create, modify, and destroy infrastructure using Python. You will also learn how to test your infrastructure using your favorite testing framework. Finally, you will learn to submit your code/infrastructure changes for review to automatically deploy it - sounds like a software, right?

These principles will unlock your team’s potential in dynamic ways. Your team will be able to build, deploy, maintain, and test infrastructure faster and lower the maintenance of your multiple complex environments. They will also remove the siloes which traditionally exist between the “who” is responsible for the infrastructure and the “who” using it.
