AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer - Associate
AWS CDK Essentials
How the AWS CDK turns code into CloudFormation: the three construct levels, apps and stacks, bootstrapping, the synth-diff-deploy workflow, and what changes for the operator once a stack is generated rather than written.

- Describe what cdk bootstrap provisions and why it is required per account and Region
- Sequence the CDK workflow commands and state what each one does
- Predict the effect of renaming a construct ID on the deployed resources
