AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation is a service offered by Amazon Web Services that helps users automate the setup and management of cloud resources. Think of it as a blueprint or recipe for building your IT infrastructure in the cloud. Instead of manually configuring servers, databases, and networks, you define them in a text file called a "template." This template describes the resources you need and how they interact. Once created, CloudFormation can automatically provision and manage these resources, making it easier to deploy and maintain applications in a consistent and repeatable way.
