Overview
Amazon Web Services (AWS) CloudFormation is a service that helps users model, provision, and manage their AWS infrastructure resources in a consistent, predictable, and repeatable manner. It enables the creation, modification, and deletion of a collection of resources together as a single unit, referred to as a “stack.”
Key Features / Concepts:
-
Templates: CloudFormation uses JSON or YAML formatted templates to define the desired resources, their properties, and their relationships. These templates serve as a blueprint for creating and configuring AWS resources.
-
Stacks: A stack is a collection of AWS resources created from a CloudFormation template. Stacks can be created, updated, or deleted as a single unit, allowing for easy management of resources.
-
Change Sets: Change sets allow users to preview the changes that will be made to a stack before executing them. This helps to identify potential issues before they impact the environment.
