This three-module course covers automation topics by talking about operations best practices, scripting, configuration management, continuous compliance, provisioning, infrastructure as code (IaC), fleet patching, industry tools for automation, and more.
The content is divided into modules that build on top of each other, so we strongly encourage not skipping any content. Although the course starts with the basics by defining the value proposition of automation and APIs, you move on to learn about Bash scripting and the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). You also learn about AWS CloudFormation, which is one of the the most frequently used IaC tools in the AWS Cloud.
