AWS CloudFormation Templates

AWS CloudFormation Templates are a way to define and manage your cloud resources in a structured format. Think of them as blueprints for building your infrastructure in Amazon Web Services (AWS). These templates describe what resources you need, such as servers, databases, and networking components, in a JSON or YAML file. By using CloudFormation, you can automate the setup and configuration of these resources, making it easier to deploy, manage, and replicate environments consistently. This helps ensure efficiency and reduces the risk of errors in cloud resource management.
