GPSTEC319: GPS: Build Once, Deploy Many: Architecting and Building Automated, Reusable Reference Deployments with AWS CloudFormation

This session explains how to build reusable, maintainable AWS CloudFormation–based automation for AWS Cloud deployments. We have built over 50 Quick Start reference deployments with partners and customers, and will share this expertise with you. We explore the anatomy of a typical AWS CloudFormation template, dive deep into best practices for building Quick Start automation across Linux and Windows and explore useful design patterns. This expert-level session is for partners interested in building Quick Starts or other AWS CloudFormation–based automation. It requires familiarity with Git, shell scripting, Windows PowerShell, and AWS services like Amazon EC2, Amazon S3 and AWS CloudFormation.
