CloudFormation Registry

The CloudFormation Registry is a centralized platform where you can find and manage pre-built tools called resource types, provided by AWS and third parties. These resource types represent cloud services or custom configurations that help automate infrastructure setup. Think of it as an app store for cloud components—allowing you to easily discover, install, and use packages that extend CloudFormation's capabilities. This streamlines deploying complex cloud environments by reusing proven templates and modules, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and the ability to share infrastructure code across teams or organizations.
