[AWS] What is the Cloud Formation?
What is AWS CloudFormation? AWS CloudFormation is a service that helps you model and set up your Amazon Web Services resources so that you can spend less time managing those resources and more time focusing on your applications that run in AWS. You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want (like Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances), and AWS CloudFormation takes care of provisioning and configuring those resources for you. AWS CloudFormation Basics: In CloudFormation, you work with Templates and Stacks. Template: JSON or YAML formatted text file which is a blueprint of your AWS resources. Stack: In CloudFormation, you manage resources as a single unit called a Stack. All the resources in a stack are defined by the stack’s Template. Hence the AWS CloudFormation workflow can be summarized as the below image reference: docs.aws.amazon.com. example of cloud formation configuration which is I made it by myself.
