AWS Cloudformation
Cloudformation is a service developed by Amazon within its AWS system
that allows modeling and configuring its resources.
AWS CloudFormation: A powerful tool for cloud management
AWS CloudFormation allows companies to define and provision their AWS infrastructure and resources using templates written in JSON or YAML format, maximizing the benefits of cloud computing.
It allows modeling and configuring AWS resources, allowing the user to save time managing these resources and can focus on the applications running on AWS.
AWS CloudFormation services for Business
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Enterprises can define their AWS infrastructure and resources in code, which can be controlled, reviewed, and shared like any other software code.
Automated provisioning
Enterprises can define the desired state of their infrastructure in a template and CloudFormation handles the creation, updating, and deletion of resources.
Resource Management
This allows companies to manage their entire AWS infrastructure using a single tool.
Dependency Management
Ensures that resources are provisioned in the correct order and that dependencies are resolved correctly, simplifying management.
You don't need to individually create and configure AWS resources and figure out what depends on what; CloudFormation takes care of that.
On the official AWS website they explain “When creating a stack, AWS CloudFormation makes underlying service calls to AWS to provision and configure its resources. CloudFormation can only perform actions for which it has permission. For example, to create EC2 instances using CloudFormation, you need permissions to create instances. You will need similar permissions to terminate instances when you delete stacks with instances.”
Reasons to hire AWS CloudFormation services
You can run multiple instances of the same resource almost instantly.
A CloudFormation template can manage the deployment of individual services and multiple resources.
Improves the overall security of the AWS environment by reducing the risks of human error.

Our implementation process
1
Architecture Definition
We design the infrastructure using YAML or JSON. This ensures consistency.
2
Stack creation
We implement networks, servers, and databases. The infrastructure is provisioned automatically.
3
Integration
It connects to CodePipeline or GitHub Actions. This allows for reproducible and controlled deployments.
4
Update & Validation
We validate changes and securely update stacks. The infrastructure evolves.
