Reference Architecture Walkthrough
Everything you need to know to get started with the Gruntwork Reference Architecture
The Gruntwork Reference Architecture is an opinionated, battle-tested, best practices way to assemble the code from the Infrastructure as Code Library into an end-to-end tech stack for AWS that has just about everything you need: server cluster, load balancer, database, cache, network topology, monitoring, alerting, CI/CD, secrets management, VPN, and more.
This course is a detailed walkthrough of the Gruntwork Reference Architecture, that goes over how it works, how the code is organized, how to authenticate, how to run the apps, how to build, test, and deploy, how to find metrics, alerts, and logs, and how to connect to servers over VPN and SSH.
