Great tool for IaC

Avantages :

Really nice and powerful way of building infrastructure stacks.

Inconvénients :

A bit too complex to use sometimes (especially the IAM part).

A valid alternative for IaC

Commentaires : So far it has served us well, but we are moving to CDK in the near future

Avantages :

- Templates are written in a YAML subset, which is arguably preferable to JSON - It provides many options to properly manage the stacks lifecycle - When coupling with Cloud Development Kit, it makes up for a powerful IaC solution for AWS - As with any other AWS service, you can manage CloudFormation in the best way that fancy your team needs

Inconvénients :

- It's hard to understand that some resources that are possible to tag, don't support tagging in the templates - Templates can get complex over time

Infra-Provisioning Made Exceptional with AWS CloudFormation

Commentaires : 1. I make the best out of CloudFormation for performing all my Infra-Implementations in my Dev, QA, Pre-Prod & Prod Environments. 2. It has amazing community support from which I can refer and practice best strategies for my deployments. 3. For detailed clarification regarding the features, excellent customer service support is provided by AWS. 4. It has a well-designed Documentation which helps me to effectively use the features and integrate with other AWS services. 5. The cost management by making use of its Stack creation is marvelous and no resource will be running in the background once you've decided to delete the stack. 6. For automation of multiple resources, I make use of combining CloudFormation with CodePipeline so that I can deliver my resources without any compromise in its integrity or configurations.

Avantages :

1. AWS CloudFormation offers me a spectacular platform to build and provision my organization's infrastructure requirements. 2. It provides me the feature of automation with various DevOps software seamlessly. 3. The compliance standards followed for each resource creation is top notch. 4. I can create, modify or delete the stack which is derived from my CloudFormation Template with ease. 5. It brilliantly integrated with multiple third-party software such as Git, Jenkins, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes through its fascinating API functionality.

Inconvénients :

1. Once you create the stack in CloudFormation, you won't be able to change the name of the stack. 2. Deep understanding about the usage of scripts is required in order to establish connection with other resources. 3. For troubleshooting, the tracking of error logs in the associated CloudWatch entries is quite challenging in CloudFormation.

The best IAC tool for AWS Cloud

Commentaires : If your entire infrastructure is in AWS cloud, then this is the best IAC tool. I would say even better than Terraform in certain aspects if you are not aiming multicloud or hybrid cloud

Avantages :

It is easy to provision AWS resources and update them. It supports rollback. It also allows seeing the changes that will be applied using changesets. It is transactional , either all the resources are updated or none are.

Inconvénients :

The error messages when running the Cloudformation stacks are sometimes not easy to decipher.

Best automation stack

Avantages :

we can automate provisioning and decommission as well

Inconvénients :

We didn’t find any difficulty in using cloud formation

"AWS" The Cloud God

Avantages :

It is very easy to use for new users and it's very easy to explain for the freshers. Since we have integrated AWS with other apps to upload and download our inputs and outputs, it works well with integration as well.

Inconvénients :

Nothing much as a negative but sometimes if the servers get down we won't be able to start our Jupiter notebook to run our codes.

Seamless Experience with AWS CloudFormation

Avantages :

AWS CloudFormation provides unmatched compatibility with diverse services, allowing me to effortlessly deploy comprehensive environments in minutes. Its integration with Amazon's CDK expands the possibilities by enabling infrastructure-as-code in multiple languages. Automating resource provisioning, CloudFormation streamlines the build process with preconfigured templates. Robust technical support and abundant documentation further enhance the experience, fostering growth in both CloudFormation and AWS skills.

Inconvénients :

AWS CloudFormation, while powerful, has some areas for improvement. Occasionally, updates and creations can be slow, and manual intervention is required for failed deletions. The documentation can be challenging for beginners, necessitating guidance from experienced colleagues. Its reliance on AWS infrastructure may limit usability in multi-cloud environments. Enhanced error handling would alleviate time spent debugging CFT templates.

CloudFormation for managing the cloud

Avantages :

It's powerful for managing the cloud using one dashboard

Inconvénients :

it not easy as know, need more detail of the knowledge

Fast infrastructure setup and review

Commentaires : Use CloudFormation to create and maintain infrastructure. AWS team needs to work on the bugs.

Avantages :

It's a fast way to create infrastructure in AWS. Also, since Cloudformation can be setup in multiple stacks, it is easy to maintain.

Inconvénients :

Many times the CloudFormation deployment fails after trying for a long time, which is frustrating. Also, the error messages are not easy to understand.

Efficiently Manage AWS Resources at Scale with AWS CloudFormation

Commentaires : Overall, AWS CloudFormation is an essential tool for anyone looking to maximize the benefits of AWS and simplify their cloud infrastructure management.

Avantages :

AWS CloudFormation is a powerful tool that enables users to easily and efficiently manage their cloud resources at scale. With CloudFormation, users can quickly provision and configure a wide range of AWS resources, including EC2 instances, load balancers, and databases, using templates that define the infrastructure and configurations. By automating the deployment and management of resources, CloudFormation helps users to streamline their workflows, reduce errors, and ensure consistency across their environments.

Inconvénients :

CloudFormation can be complex and difficult to learn, especially for users who are new to AWS.

A great way to deploy cloud infrastructure

Avantages :

I like that you can easily pick up and move infrastructure when needed programmatically.

Inconvénients :

I have not found any downside to cloud formation

AWS CloudFormation, permite modelar y configurar sus recursos de AWS

Avantages :

capacidad para automatizar y orquestar la implementación y gestión de recursos de infraestructura de AWS, permite a los usuarios definir recursos de AWS, Seguridad

Inconvénients :

curva de aprendizaje, la complejidad de las plantillas, la depuración y las limitaciones de recursos antes de adoptar la herramienta.

AWS's take on IaC

Commentaires : Overall good, but not the market leader. Would be good to start using IaC but there are better solutions.

Avantages :

Included as a service in the AWS platform, can be used to provision infrastructure and services.

Inconvénients :

It's not vendor neutral which can be a problem with multi-cloud deployment which can be a problem, the competitor Terraform has many more features.

AWS CloudFormation

Commentaires : It's been a learning experience working with AWS CloudFormation. When I started, it was a little overwhelming for me with so many bits working together. Now that I have a grasp on it, I can easily deploy really powerful error-free stacks from the AWS marketplace error-free.

Avantages :

Scaling up! It's so easy to scale up and scale down your EC2 instance depending on your requirement at any particular time. This saves your costs hourly and in the long run.

Inconvénients :

Not much is wrong with CloudFormation on AWS. However, it is not easy for a first-time no-code builder to deploy an error-free stack. You have to know what you are doing when deploying a stack or updating it! As a no-code builder like myself, I made many mistakes setting up my first stack. So please watch tutorials and go through enough learning material and equip yourself to deploy your stack correctly.

Valuable tool for DevOps and infrastructure engineers

Commentaires : CloudFormation had a bit of a learning curve, but once we laid out these foundations, the development, debugging, and deployment became faster and more reliable.

Avantages :

CloudFormation helped us build our infrastructure quickly and reliably on AWS. Without much knowledge about infrastructure or AWS, we could use the documentation, references, and code samples of CloudFormation stacks provided by AWS and the OSS community to build our infrastructure. Instead of navigating AWS Console and being confused, we could copy/paste the resource name or configuration property to Google and quickly know what it's for and how to use it. Sharing knowledge among team members is automatic since anyone can look at the code to see the current state of the infrastructure. CloudFormation will save you plenty of time if you have multiple environments for your application. You create one template and use it for all of your environments, knowing that they will behave as expected.

Inconvénients :

CloudFormation templates cannot have complex logic, making them easy to understand, but this limited logic support sometimes forced us to create separate files for our development and production environments.

One of the best cloud automation services

Avantages :

AWS cloud formation is a great service offering. What I like the most is that I can set up any form of cloud tech stack for my projects and automate my entire deployment lifecycle.

Inconvénients :

AWS Cloud Formation is great but sometimes if I create a few resources using cloud formation and then later if I delete those resources directly then the resource configuration lying inside cloud formation glitches, ideally it should detect that the underlying resource no longer exists and it should give an option to recreate the resource or delete the entire resource.

Very agile tool to form clouds

Commentaires : Its really nice full of learning and time saving is great

Avantages :

Agility and change management are the key features which helps daily. Also having code controlling things always gives more confidence which is great

Inconvénients :

Too many options but if we master some limited features we could really use this more efficiently

One of the best cloud services

Commentaires : My overall experience was nice, It takes your application to a whole different level. Right now, A lot of companies are using cloud services to make thier application much more robust and easy to use and I feel one of the leading cloud providers are AWS.

Avantages :

The best thing about AWS Cloud is that, It has a lot of different features that we can use to make our app much more robust, fast and easy to use. It proivdes us with functions like cloud watch and email sending which we can use to keep an watch on our application and notify the developer whenever something happens.

Inconvénients :

The documentation for AWS Cloud is not upto the mark, As a begineer I found it a bit too hard to understand. A lot of the things were not clear and I was only able to make use of the features with the help of my superior

Great cloud templating solution for AWS.

Avantages :

Very comprehensive and low level schema that allows capability to template up the desired cloud solution

Inconvénients :

Cloudformation can sometimes fail to update stacks due to drift issues. Have to be extra cautious changing some resource parameters, can cause 'new' instances to of the resources to be created instead of updating the existing resource.

CloudFormation is the go-to solution to automate infrastructure builds on AWS

Avantages :

AWS CloudFormation is a infrastructure-as-code solution that allows you to bootstrap infrastructure and services within the AWS space. It contains a very comprehensive set of features to build out infrastructure with the necessary security controls and service integrations that you would need.

Inconvénients :

AWS CloudFormation has a steep learning curve for a service that only supports AWS.

Spin up infrastructure at ease

Commentaires : Its amazing...with studio also you don't need to even write the code just drag and drop resources and you're ready to go.

Avantages :

Very easy to use ..just you need to write yaml or json code for creating infrastructure and it will create all the resources you need smoothly. Also, it does not make you pay for doing this..its free, you just need to pay for resources created.

Inconvénients :

Everything's awesome but one version control system should be integrated to maintain version of stacks

AWS CloudFormation - Impressive

Commentaires : AWS CloudFormation is an outstanding AWS service. I have been using it to deploy a VPS in minutes as it does most of the work resource wise and only few parameters needs to be taken care of while deploying. CloudFormation helps with continuous delivery and deployment of resources small of big without taking too much time. Working on different environments using the same template helps make it easier with cloudformation.

Avantages :
