Introduction

In this laboratory, you will learn how to provision AWS EC2 instances with a load balancer using the Cloud Development Kit for Terraform (CDKTF). CDKTF allows you to use familiar programming languages, such as TypeScript, to define and manage your infrastructure.

Objectives

• Install and configure CDKTF and required tools
• Set up AWS infrastructure using TypeScript with CDKTF
• Provision EC2 instances and a load balancer
• Manage state with Terraform Cloud

Prerequisites

• Basic Knowledge of AWS Services: Familiarity with EC2, VPC, and Load Balancers.
• Basic Programming Skills: Knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.
• AWS Account: An active AWS account to deploy and manage resources.
