AWS CloudFormation: AWS CloudFormation is a service that helps you model and set up your

Amazon Web Services resources so that you can spend less time managing those resources and more

time focusing on your applications that run in AWS1.

Resource Management: You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want

(like Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances), and AWS CloudFormation takes care of

provisioning and configuring those resources for you1.

Complex Applications: For complex applications with multiple resources, CloudFormation allows you

to manage related resources as a single unit, called a stack1.

Automation: CloudFormation automates the provisioning and updating of your infrastructure in a

safe and controlled manner, with rollbacks and staged updates1.

Benefits: By using AWS CloudFormation, Steven can define his infrastructure in code and use this to

create and manage his AWS resources, which simplifies the management of complex applications1.
