Easy Deployment with AWS CloudFormation

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates AWS Cloud​Formation from other similar products?

AWS CloudFormation offers change management and rollbacks, allowing users to keep track of infrastructure changes and easily manage them. If any issues or failures occur during the change process, CloudFormation can automatically revert back to the previous working state.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

AWS CloudFormation can define your infrastructure using templates. This means you can describe all the resources you need in a code-like format. When you deploy your infrastructure, CloudFormation automatically provisions the resources for you.

What do you dislike most about this product?

As your infrastructure stacks become larger and more complex, using CloudFormation to manage and troubleshoot them can become more difficult. It may be challenging to identify and fix issues, keep track of dependencies between resources, and ensure optimal performance.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Use Best Practices for CloudFormation Templates: Follow recommended guidelines for creating CloudFormation templates to make them easier to maintain, reusable, and scalable. This involves breaking templates into smaller, manageable parts, using parameters and mappings efficiently to customise deployments, and implementing version control to track changes.
