Overview of IaC languages
In today’s cloud computing landscape, IaC has emerged as a fundamental paradigm shift in managing and provisioning infrastructure. AWS CloudFormation and Terraform are two leading IaC tools that enable developers and system administrators to define and manage cloud resources programmatically, treating infrastructure as software.
AWS CloudFormation simplifies the provisioning and management of AWS resources using declarative JSON or YAML templates. These templates define the configuration and interdependencies of AWS services, enabling users to provision multiple resources predictably and repeatably. CloudFormation automates the creation, updating, and deletion of infrastructure stacks, ensuring consistency and reducing the risk of manual errors in resource provisioning.
