Question

What is AWS CloudFormation and how can I use it to provision infrastructure as code?

Answer 1

AWS CloudFormation is a service that allows you to define your infrastructure in code (using JSON or YAML templates) and provision it in a repeatable and automated way.

Resources:
  MyEC2Instance:
    Type: 'AWS::EC2::Instance'
    Properties:
      ImageId: 'ami-xxxxxxxx'
      InstanceType: 't2.micro'
