AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation is an infrastructure-as-code service that allows you to define and configure AWS resources in a predictable and automated manner. Simply put, CloudFormation allows you to create and manage AWS cloud infrastructure resources using declarative templates instead of manual configurations.

With CloudFormation, you can describe all the components of your infrastructure, such as EC2 instances, security groups, load balancers, databases and more, in a single template file. This template is written in a JSON or YAML-based format and defines the desired infrastructure architecture in detail.

Once the template has been created, CloudFormation takes care of automatically provisioning and configuring the resources specified in the template, following the instructions provided. This means you can deploy and manage your infrastructure in a consistent and repeatable manner, eliminating human error and reducing the time required to deploy new applications or environments.
