Week 9 Worklog

OBJECTIVES IN WEEK 9:

  • Approach and master the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to define cloud infrastructure using programming languages.
  • Practice deploying complex architectures (ECS, ALB, API Gateway, Serverless) using CDK and Nested Stacks.
  • Reinforce Infrastructure as Code (IaC) concepts by deploying a complete Three-Tier Architecture.
  • Complete the data preparation and design phase (Database/UI) for the team project.
  • Enhance knowledge on LLMs and Prompt Engineering through community events.
