AWS CloudFormation is a service that helps define architectures on Amazon Web Services. CloudFormation allows us to make blueprints or define templates of an application(or environment) to launch and maintain a deployment rather than configuring the environment manually overtimes, It helps us to set up an identical architectures in different AWS accounts or regions.
It is an example of infrastructure as code, meaning you write code that can deploy a particular hardware infrastructure in a cloud environment. With CloudFormation, you use a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) template to define a stack of resources that work together in a predetermined way.
