Working with CloudFormation Script

AWS CloudFormation provides a common language for you to describe and provision all the infrastructure resources in your cloud environment. CloudFormation allows you to use a simple text file to model and provision, in an automated and secure manner, all the resources needed for your applications across all regions and accounts. This file serves as the single source of truth for your cloud environment.

1. Lets start this with a simple cloudformation script which shall create a S3 bucket
   Here’s the script in YAML, you can also JSON is that’s simple for you

   Resources:
   webmagicinformatica:
   Type: 'AWS::S3::Bucket'
   Properties: {}

2. Now you need to copy + paste above code to a notepad file and save it with a .yaml format, if you too lazy to do this please download from here
3. Now logon to AWS console and from service menu go to Cloudformation
4. Click on Create New Stack
   
5. Now upload the file which we created
   
6. Give it the stack a name
   
7. Next…
   

8. Cloudformation has its work of creating the S3 bucket, you will be progress in Events tab
   

9. And magic your bucket is created, now this is the power of Infrastructure as Code
   Believe me you can deploy an entire 3-tier infrastructure with just code
