24. CloudFormation

Overview of CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation provides a common language for you to describe and provision all the
infrastructure resources in your cloud environment. CloudFormation allows you to use a simple
text file to model and provision, in an automated and secure manner, all the resources needed for
your applications across all regions and accounts. This file serves as the single source of truth for
your cloud environment.

AWS CloudFormation is available at no additional charge, and you pay only for the AWS resources
needed to run your applications.

Benefits

MODEL IT ALL

AWS CloudFormation allows you to model your entire infrastructure in a text file. This template
becomes the single source of truth for your infrastructure. This helps you to standardize
infrastructure components used across your organization, enabling configuration compliance and
faster troubleshooting.

AUTOMATE AND DEPLOY

AWS CloudFormation provisions your resources in a safe, repeatable manner, allowing you to build
and rebuild your infrastructure and applications, without having to perform manual actions or
write custom scripts. CloudFormation takes care of determining the right operations to perform
when managing your stack, and rolls back changes automatically if errors are detected.

IT'S JUST CODE

Codifying your infrastructure allows you to treat your infrastructure as just code. You can author
it with any code editor, check it into a version control system, and review the files with team
members before deploying into production.
