The Good Parts of AWS: Cutting Through the Clutter/

Infrastructure as Code

CloudFormation is an AWS service that gives users the ability to maintain the infrastructure of their project according to their requirements. It obeys the laws of dealing with infrastructure as code and allows us to manage external and dependent resources together.

When we use CloudFormation to maintain infrastructure, it results in a highly secure, consistent, scalable, and easy-to-manage management system.

In this Cloud Lab, you’ll automate the steps of the previous lab using CloudFormation.

The following is the high-level architecture diagram of the infrastructure that you’ll create in this Cloud Lab to upload infrastructure as code on an EC2 instance:
