Cloud Formation
=================

=> Cloud Formation service is used to provision infrastructure in AWS Cloud.

=> Cloud Formation works based on 'Infrastructure as a code' (IAAC)

=> Cloud Formation supports JSON and YML configurations

Note: If we create infrastructure manually it takes lot of time and it is error


prone.

=> If we design cloud formation template to create Infrasture then we can re-use
that template multiple times.

Note: Cloud Formation service works only in AWS Cloud.

Note: The alternate for 'Cloud Formation' service is 'TERRAFORM' tool.

=> Terraform works with almost all cloud platforms available in the market.
