CLS Workshop: AWS Cleanup - Combat Click-Ops and Resource Drift

Join us for a special edition of our Continuous Learning Series (CLS), hosted by the Toptal Learning Team, designed to provide immersive, hands-on learning experiences. 

Workshop Overview:

This interactive, hands-on workshop, led by AWS DevOps expert Samuel Lock, focuses on implementing and troubleshooting AWS infrastructure using CloudFormation IaC Generation in a live environment. You’ll start with an AWS account cluttered with resources created manually or IaC lost in time—an all-too-common scenario on Toptal engagements. 

Watch and participate as Samuel Lock demonstrates how to generate CloudFormation templates from existing resources, transforming disorganised environments into clean, manageable infrastructure.

📅 Date: October 10, 2024

⏰ Time: 09:00 AM EST (90 minutes)

🎙️Speaker: Samuel Lock, AWS DevOps Expert

What You’ll Learn:

• CloudFormation IaC Generation: Learn how to identify and generate templates for existing resources and manage AWS environments more effectively.
• Cross-IaC Integration: Discover how to convert CloudFormation templates into other tools like CDK and Terraform, allowing flexibility based on client requirements.
• Live Problem-Solving: Engage with real-time demos and gain practical experience in using IaC tools to clean up AWS environments and prevent configuration drift.
• Explore best practices for managing AWS environments, fostering infrastructure as code practices, and reducing reliance on manual interventions.

Pre-Session Preparation:

To get the most out of the workshop, please ensure you have access to an AWS account (Your own personal / trial AWS Account). A day before the session, we will send you a CloudFormation template with a Lambda function that will deploy orphan resources via AWS SDK. You can either participate in the hands-on activity alongside the speaker or simply watch and observe the live demonstrations.

Why Attend?

This workshop is tailored for developers, DevOps engineers, and IT managers who are involved in deploying applications on AWS. Whether you’re looking to enhance your skills in CloudFormation or introduce automation in AWS resource management, this session will equip you with the necessary knowledge and practical experience.
