AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Deploying Our AWS CDK App - Part 2

This video tutorial guides users through the process of using AWS CDK to manage cloud infrastructure. It covers the lifecycle of a CDK application, including writing constructs, synthesizing to a CloudFormation template, and deploying resources using the CDK CLI. The tutorial demonstrates the use of CDK synth and CDK deploy commands, explaining how they generate and deploy CloudFormation templates. It also highlights the benefits of CDK's default settings and the importance of verifying deployments through the AWS Management Console.

What is the primary purpose of using the CDK CLI in the AWS CDK lifecycle?

• To synthesize CloudFormation templates

• To deploy resources directly

• To write application code

• To manage AWS billing

What does the CDK synth command generate?

• A Lambda function

• A new AWS account

• A CloudFormation template

• An IAM policy

Which of the following is a benefit of using the CDK synth command?

• It reduces the need for manual configuration

• It manages AWS billing

• It automatically deploys resources

• It creates IAM roles

What is the purpose of the CDK Dev command?

• To compare the actual stack with the code base

• To manage AWS billing

• To create IAM policies

• To deploy resources

Why is it recommended to run the CDK synthesize and Dev commands before deployment?

• To ensure the application is written in Python

• To create IAM roles

• To check for security implications and potential issues

• To automatically deploy resources

What does the CDK deploy command do?

• It manages AWS billing

• It deploys the infrastructure to AWS

• It synthesizes CloudFormation templates

• It writes application code

How can you verify the deployment of your stack in AWS?

• By updating the AWS billing information

• By creating a new IAM role

• By checking the AWS Management Console

• By running the CDK synth command again
