AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation is a service that provides infrastructure as code (IaC) for deploying and managing AWS resources. Users define their infrastructure using declarative templates written in JSON or YAML, which specify the configuration and relationships between resources. CloudFormation automates the provisioning and updating of resources based on these templates, ensuring consistent and repeatable deployments. It supports a wide range of AWS services and allows for the creation of complex, multi-tier architectures with minimal manual intervention. CloudFormation simplifies infrastructure management and enables version-controlled, automated deployments.
