AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Bootstrapping CDK Stack

The video tutorial explains the importance of bootstrapping in AWS CDK applications. It covers the lifecycle of a CDK application, emphasizing the need to run the CDK bootstrap command before deploying stacks. The tutorial details the process of bootstrapping, including storing code and configurations in CloudFormation. It also demonstrates executing CDK commands and verifying the setup in AWS Management Console. The video concludes with additional information on specifying account numbers and regions during bootstrapping.

Why is bootstrapping necessary at the beginning of a CDK project?

• To initialize the AWS account

• To convert code into CloudFormation templates

• To deploy the application directly

• To create IAM users

What is the primary purpose of the CDK bootstrap command?

• To deploy the application

• To update AWS CLI

• To create a management stack for storing code and configurations

• To delete existing stacks

Which AWS service is primarily used to store code and configurations during bootstrapping?

• Amazon DynamoDB

• Amazon S3

• Amazon RDS

• Amazon EC2

What is created in the AWS Management Console to verify successful bootstrapping?

• A CloudFormation stack

• A new IAM user

• A Lambda function

• An EC2 instance

What resources are included in the management stack created during bootstrapping?

• EC2 instances and RDS databases

• S3 buckets and IAM roles

• Lambda functions and API Gateways

• DynamoDB tables and SNS topics

What is the significance of the S3 bucket created during bootstrapping?

• It serves as a backup for EC2 instances

• It is used for data analytics

• It stores the application logs

• It holds the deployment templates and assets

What should be verified in the AWS Management Console after running the bootstrap command?

• Deployment of a new Lambda function

• Presence of a new IAM user

• Creation of a new EC2 instance

• Existence of a new S3 bucket

What is the role of IAM roles created during bootstrapping?

• To monitor application performance

• To grant permissions for deployments

• To store application data

• To manage EC2 instances

What additional configurations can be specified when running the CDK bootstrap command?

• Network configuration and security group

• Database engine and version

• Instance type and size

• Account number and region

What is the final step before deploying a CDK application after bootstrapping?

• Setting up a new VPC

• Launching an EC2 instance

• Creating a new IAM user

• Running the CDK deploy command
