Specialization in AWS CloudFormation
AWS CloudFormation is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) service that enables the automated creation, management, and deployment of cloud resources. With CloudFormation, you can use template templates to quickly and reliably create and manage a cloud configuration.
Template templates are text files that describe the desired cloud configuration. These templates can include information about the cloud resources you want to create, such as virtual machine instances, databases, user accounts, and access policies, among others. You can create template models manually or use the AWS CloudFormation Designer cloud modeling tool to visually create and edit templates.
Once you create the template model, you can use it to create a 'stack' of cloud resources in AWS CloudFormation. A stack is a set of cloud resources managed as a logical group. When you create a stack, CloudFormation creates the cloud resources specified in the template model and manages them as a single unit. If you need to update the stack's configuration, simply modify the template model and use it to update the existing stack.
AWS CloudFormation is a useful tool for managing cloud resources consistently and repeatedly, which can be especially valuable in large-scale production environments. Additionally, CloudFormation allows you to create reusable template models, which can help save time and effort in creating complex cloud configurations.
With AWS CloudFormation and versioning tools like AWS CodeCommit, build tools like AWS CodeBuild, and deployment tools like AWS CodeDeploy, it becomes a fundamental service for implementing various stages of a Continuous Delivery process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are CloudFormation template models?
CloudFormation template models are text files that describe the desired cloud configuration. These templates can include information about the cloud resources you want to create, such as virtual machine instances, databases, user accounts, and access policies, among others.
How can I update a CloudFormation stack?
To update a CloudFormation stack, simply modify the template template and use it to update the existing stack. CloudFormation will check for changes made in the template and update the stack accordingly.
What is a CloudFormation stack?
A CloudFormation stack is a collection of cloud resources managed as a single unit. When you create a stack, CloudFormation creates the cloud resources specified in the template template and manages them as a single unit. If you need to update the stack's configuration, you can simply modify the template template and use it to update the existing stack.
Is CloudFormation free?
AWS CloudFormation is a paid service, but the first 200,000 API calls per month are free. Additionally, some cloud resources created with CloudFormation, such as virtual machine instances, may have their own associated fees.
How can I create a CloudFormation template model?
You can create a CloudFormation template model manually or use the AWS CloudFormation Designer cloud modeling tool to create and edit templates visually. There are also many ready-to-use template template examples available in the AWS documentation and other online resources.
