What is CloudFormation?
CloudFormation is an infrastructure-as-code service that allows you to define and provision AWS cloud resources using templates written in JSON or YAML. By describing your desired state in a text file, the service automatically handles the creation, updating, and deletion of the necessary resources in the correct order. This approach enables you to manage your infrastructure as version-controlled code, ensuring that your environment deployments are consistent, repeatable, and easily scalable.
