How it works?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) CloudFormation is a service that helps developers and IT professionals provision and manage AWS infrastructure resources predictably and repeatedly. By using CloudFormation templates, users can define and deploy the resources and associated dependencies in an orderly and consistent manner. This service facilitates infrastructure-as-code, enabling automated, secure, and efficient cloud application provisioning and updates.
Infrastructure-as-Code is a way for provisioning infrastructure by describing the state of the infrastructure you want to get as a program that can be interpreted and executed.
- With Infrastructure as Code, you can gain an insight into your infrastructure status swiftly, as it serves as a living document offering a snapshot of your systems' state and configuration.
- Infrastructure as Code allows you to improve your infrastructure using code itself, making the process of introducing new services, upgrading existing ones, or modifying configurations flexible and adaptable.
- Infrastructure as Code facilitates making system-wide modifications efficiently, ensuring consistency across your entire system and reducing error potential.
- Continuous integration principles from software development can be applied to your infrastructure management through Infrastructure as Code, enabling automation in testing and deployment of infrastructure changes.
- Infrastructure as Code enables you to provision entire systems from scratch quickly and reliably, proving to be advantageous in testing, development, and disaster recovery scenarios.
- Monitoring infrastructure state and implementing incremental changes is made possible with Infrastructure as Code, improving auditability and change management.
- By automating repetitive tasks and reducing manual intervention, Infrastructure as Code reduces potential human errors and increases efficiency.
- Infrastructure as Code enhances collaboration and transparency by serving as a common language understandable by both operations and development teams.
- Infrastructure as Code allows for the creation of standard templates for your infrastructure setup that can be used to replicate your environments consistently across different stages of the application lifecycle and multiple projects.
- Infrastructure as Code improves overall security posture and simplifies compliance auditing by allowing the incorporation of security configurations and compliance requirements directly into your infrastructure code.
AWS Cloudformation is used to model, provision, and update AWS infrastructure as code so environments can be created consistently and safely across accounts and regions. It is a strong fit when teams want native AWS integration, repeatable deployments, and controlled change management for infrastructure.
- Declarative infrastructure definitions using JSON or YAML templates, making desired state explicit and reviewable.
- Repeatable environment provisioning for dev, staging, and production with consistent resource configuration.
- Built-in change sets to preview proposed updates before execution and reduce unintended modifications.
- Automated dependency ordering so resources are created, updated, and deleted in the correct sequence.
- Drift detection to identify when deployed resources have diverged from the template due to manual changes.
- Native integration with AWS services and features, including IAM, CloudWatch, and service-specific resource types.
- Stack policies and rollback behavior to protect critical resources and recover from failed updates.
- Parameterization and outputs to support reusable templates and pass values between stacks and systems.
- Cross-account and multi-region deployment patterns via StackSets for standardized governance and baselines.
- Support for custom resources to extend provisioning logic when native resource types are insufficient.
CloudFormation is well suited to AWS-centric organizations that want a fully managed IaC workflow, but templates can become verbose for complex systems and advanced abstractions typically require nested stacks, modules, or higher-level tooling. Many teams pair CloudFormation with CI/CD pipelines and testing practices described in AWS guidance on infrastructure as code at AWS.
Common alternatives include Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CDK, which can offer different ergonomics, language support, and multi-cloud portability depending on requirements.
Our experience with AWS Cloudformation helped us build repeatable infrastructure patterns, delivery tooling, and operational runbooks that clients could rely on for consistent environments across AWS accounts and regions. We used CloudFormation to standardize provisioning, reduce configuration drift, and make infrastructure changes auditable and safe to roll out.
Some of the things we did include:
- Designed modular CloudFormation templates and nested stacks for VPCs, subnets, routing, security groups, IAM roles, and shared services, with clear parameterization for dev/stage/prod.
- Implemented CI/CD workflows to validate, lint, and deploy stacks through change sets, including automated rollbacks and gated approvals for production updates.
- Integrated CloudFormation deployments into Kubernetes platform builds, including EKS cluster foundations and add-on bootstrapping alongside Terraform where mixed IaC was required.
- Hardened templates with security controls such as least-privilege IAM policies, encryption defaults (KMS), private networking patterns, and policy-as-code checks using OPA (Open Policy Agent).
- Built observability baselines via CloudWatch alarms, log retention policies, and dashboarding, and connected incident workflows to existing on-call processes.
- Created multi-account and multi-region deployment strategies using StackSets, including delegated administration and consistent guardrails across organizational units.
- Automated environment provisioning for application teams, including repeatable RDS, S3, and load balancer patterns with standardized tagging and cost allocation.
- Implemented blue/green and canary-friendly infrastructure patterns to support safer application releases, including integration with Argo CD for GitOps-driven workloads.
- Established HA/DR considerations in templates (multi-AZ, backups, cross-region replication where applicable) and documented recovery procedures tested in exercises.
- Delivered enablement for client teams through template reviews, hands-on training, and operational handover documentation to support long-term ownership.
This experience helped us accumulate significant knowledge across migrations, platform foundations, security hardening, and day-2 operations, enabling us to deliver high-quality AWS Cloudformation setups that are maintainable, auditable, and aligned with real delivery constraints.
Some of the things we can help you do with AWS Cloudformation include:
- Assess your current Infrastructure-as-Code approach and deliver a CloudFormation review report covering reliability, security, and maintainability gaps.
- Create an adoption roadmap for standardizing AWS environments across accounts and regions with repeatable templates and governance.
- Design and implement CloudFormation stacks and nested stacks to provision VPCs, IAM, compute, data, and supporting services consistently.
- Establish secure guardrails with least-privilege IAM, parameterization, tagging standards, and policy-driven controls aligned to compliance needs.
- Integrate CloudFormation into CI/CD workflows for validated, automated deployments with change sets, approvals, and rollback strategies.
- Optimize cost and performance by right-sizing resources, improving template efficiency, and enforcing budget-aware defaults and tagging for chargeback.
- Improve operational reliability with drift detection, stack health monitoring, and runbooks for incident response and safe updates.
- Refactor legacy templates to modern best practices, modular patterns, and reusable components to reduce duplication and deployment risk.
- Enable your teams with hands-on training, template standards, and troubleshooting playbooks so delivery remains fast and consistent.
