About this course
AWS CloudFormation Master Class v2 [2025] on Udemy teaches you to write complete CloudFormation templates using YAML. The course covers core building blocks including Parameters, SSM Parameter Types, Resources, and advanced constructs such as DependsOn, DeletionPolicy, and UpdateReplacePolicy. You also learn Mappings, Pseudo Parameters, and how to create Outputs with Cross‑Stack References.
Stephane Maarek structures the lessons around practical template building. Early modules walk through Code Download & Tools Setup and Getting started with CloudFormation. You then move into Parameters and Resources, followed by Mappings and Outputs. Later sections cover Conditions, Rules, and Metadata, plus CFN Init and EC2 User Data for instance customisation. The syllabus also addresses Drift, Nested Stacks, StackSets, and Deployment Options, ending with Continuous Delivery and Generating templates via SAM, CDK, Imports and Macros.
By the end you can produce a full CloudFormation template that provisions resources, passes parameters, and links stacks across an organisation. The course is aimed at developers and DevOps engineers who want to automate AWS infrastructure; prior AWS knowledge is helpful but not required, and the YAML focus keeps the barrier low for newcomers.
At ₹529 the course is priced below the Udemy average for specialist topics. It carries a 4.8 rating from over 10K reviews and claims 70K+ enrolled learners. A certificate of completion is included, and the self‑paced format lets you spread the 7 hours of video over as many weeks as you need.
Free options include the [Ultimate AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 2026] course, also on Udemy, which provides a broader foundation at ₹499. For deeper CloudFormation study, the [AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate 2026] path runs 27.5 hours and costs ₹499, covering similar infrastructure‑as‑code concepts at a comparable price.
This course will suit you if you need to codify AWS resources quickly and prefer YAML over JSON. If your goal is a full AWS certification, the Solutions Architect path may be a better investment of time and money.
