AWS CloudFormation

What it is

AWS CloudFormation is AWS's native declarative Infrastructure-as-Code service: YAML/JSON templates describe a desired set of AWS resources; CloudFormation creates/updates/deletes them as a stack, tracks drift, and provides ordered create/update/rollback semantics. Underpins CDK (which synthesises to CloudFormation) and StackSets (which orchestrates stacks across many accounts).
