AWS CloudFormation
This lesson is part of AWS · All levels
Summary
AWS CloudFormation allows you to define infrastructure as code using JSON or YAML templates. One template describes the resource that's created, and then CloudFormation automatically stacks it into one stack. This approach allows the infrastructure to be reproduced, version controlled, and replicated in multiple environments.
Key points
- Infrastructure as Code: resource defined on the template
- Templates are written in JSON or YAML format
- A stack is a collection of resources made from a single template
- Drift marks the difference in real conditions with the template
