Cloudformation Quiz
A consulting firm repeatedly builds large architectures for their customers using AWS resources from several AWS services including IAM, Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, DynamoDB and Amazon VPC. The consultants have architecture diagrams for each of their architectures, and are frustrated that they cannot use them to automatically create their resources.
Which service should provide immediate benefits to the organization?
A. AWS Beanstalk
B. AWS CloudFormation
C. AWS CodeBuild
D. AWS CodeDeploy
B. AWS CloudFormation
AWS CloudFormation: This supplements the requirement in the question and enables consultants to use their architecture diagrams to construct CloudFormation templates.
AWS Documentation mentions the following on AWS CloudFormation:
AWS CloudFormation is a service that helps you model and set up your Amazon Web Service resources so that you can spend less time managing those resources and more time focusing on your applications that run in AWS. 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 you.
