AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation is a service that helps you model and set up Amazon Web Services resources so you can spend less time managing those resources and more time focusing on your applications that run in AWS. Coursera's AWS CloudFormation skill catalogue teaches you how to create and manage a collection of related AWS resources by provisioning and updating them in an orderly and predictable fashion. You'll learn how to use AWS CloudFormation templates to describe the resources you want, and AWS CloudFormation takes care of provisioning and configuring those resources for you; this includes understanding the structure of AWS CloudFormation templates, the syntax, and the different types of elements. You'll grasp the process of deploying and managing applications on AWS infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation, thus enhancing your skills as a cloud engineer or a cloud architect.
