AWS CloudFormation is a service that allows users to model and provision AWS infrastructure resources in an automated and repeatable way. It provides a common language for defining infrastructure as code (IaC) using templates, which can be version-controlled, shared, and reused.
With AWS CloudFormation, users can create stacks of AWS resources such as Amazon EC2 instances, RDS databases, and S3 buckets. The templates used to define the stack are written in either JSON or YAML format and describe the desired state of the infrastructure. Once created, stacks can be managed through updates, rollbacks, deletion, and monitoring.
AWS CloudFormation also integrates with other AWS services such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), and more. This allows users to automate resource management tasks across multiple accounts and regions.
Overall, AWS CloudFormation simplifies infrastructure management by providing a unified way to define, provision, and manage cloud resources at scale.
