AWS Cloud Development Kit - From Beginner to Professional - Infrastructure-Is-Code: Version-Control Your Infrastructure

The video tutorial covers the concept of treating infrastructure as code and the importance of version control. It explains how to set up version control for infrastructure code, use .gitignore files effectively, and push code to version control systems like GitHub. The tutorial also discusses committing changes, managing code history, and sharing synthesized templates.

Why is version control important when treating infrastructure as code?

• It helps track changes and enables easy rollback.

• It reduces the need for documentation.

• It increases the speed of deployment.

• It allows for automatic code generation.

What is the purpose of a .gitignore file in a Git repository?

• To track all files in the repository.

• To ignore specific files from being tracked.

• To automatically commit changes.

• To increase the repository size.

Which files are typically excluded from version control in infrastructure projects?

• Documentation files.

• Source code files.

• Configuration files.

• Synthesized templates.

What is the first step in pushing your code to a remote repository like GitHub?

• Creating a new branch.

• Merging all branches.

• Deleting local changes.

• Setting the remote origin.

What should you do if you want to include a synthesized template in version control?

• Ignore the template completely.

• Rename the template file.

• Delete the template.

• Use the -F flag to force add it.

Why might a synthesized template not work when shared with others?

• It contains hardcoded values like bucket names.

• It is encrypted.

• It is too large to share.

• It is not compatible with other systems.

What is a benefit of sharing synthesized templates with your team?

• It speeds up the coding process.

• It reduces the need for meetings.

• It eliminates the need for version control.

• It allows for collaborative review and reuse.
