What differentiates AWS Cloud​Formation from other similar products?

There are several points when comparing AWS CloudFormation with similar products. let me mention For example, it comes at no additional cost, offers native integration with AWS services, and provides tight integration with IAM. Additionally, features like drift detection are especially helpful.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It define your entire cloud environment as code, making deployments consistent and repeatable. Features like change sets, drift detection and stack sets are my favorite.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The syntax (especially in JSON/YAML), handling nested stacks, and debugging template errors can be time-consuming. It would benefit from being more beginner-friendly and offering clearer error messages.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is powerful tool, especially for teams already working within the AWS ecosystem, It brings more value in automating and managing infrastructure. It does come with learning curve so i would recommend setting aside time for proper training and starting with small use cases. ThankYou
