AWS CloudFormation
“How can we simplify our cloud infrastructure build?”
Infrastructure as code (IaC)
• Replicate, redeploy,
and repurpose.
• Control versioning on
infrastructure and
applications.
• Detect drift.
• Roll back the service
to the last good state.
Benefits of IaC – Reusability
Benefits of IaC – Updates
AWS CloudFormation
CloudFormation template CloudFormation Stack
Create template Upload the CloudFormation CloudFormation

template translates to an forms a stack of
API request resources
Understanding CloudFormation
JSON
{
• Written as JSON or "Resources" : {
YAML "HelloBucket" : {
"Type" : "AWS::S3::Bucket"
• Describes the
}
resources to be created }
or modified }
• Treated as source
code:
• Code reviewed YAML
• Version controlled
Resources:
HelloBucket:
Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
Stacks
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud

• A collection of AWS (Amazon VPC)
resources managed as Stack
a single unit
• Can deploy and delete Amazon DynamoDB
resources as a unit
Amazon Relational Database
• Can update resources Service (Amazon RDS)
and settings on
running stacks Stack Amazon Elastic File System
Template (Amazon EFS)
• Supports nested stacks
and cross-stack Amazon Elastic Cloud
