What is AWS CloudFormation?
AWS CloudFormation provides a common language for you to describe and provision all the infrastructure resources in your cloud environment.

This file serves as the single source of truth for your cloud environment.

What differentiates AWS CloudFormation from other similar products?
Used for a scalable project that uses AWS and an internal app base with a large user base. We could use the app to track security vulnerabilities and keep an eye on general network traffic to upgrade it quickly. The supplier is receptive and engaged with our company. We've enjoyed getting to know the staff in person.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The solution was easy to develop and use, and AWS Firewall Manager makes management more effortless. The Managed Services solution comes with the less administrative burden and resources limitations.
