What is Cloud Formation?

AWS CloudFormation is a service that allows you to define and provision AWS infrastructure as code. You create templates in a declarative format (YAML or JSON) that describe the AWS resources you want, and CloudFormation provisions and configures those resources automatically. This helps in automating infrastructure setup, managing infrastructure consistently, and version controlling infrastructure changes.
