Infrastructure as Code (IaC) allows the management and provisioning of infrastructure through code, enhancing consistency and simplifying change management. CloudFormation is highlighted as a preferred IaC framework for AWS due to its ease of learning and built-in state management. However, creating environments with CloudFormation can be time-consuming and costly.

3. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the managing and provisioning of
infrastructure through code instead of manual processes

5. IaC
• Improve infrastructure consistency
• Change management is easy
• Maintain code into version control system like Git

6. IaC
• Code can be divided into modular components to reuse
• Improve CI/CD for infrastructure - DevOps

8. Frameworks
• Terraform
• CloudFormation (AWS)
• Cloud Development Kit (AWS)
• Chef
• Puppet
• Ansible

9. Why CloudFormation
• Native to AWS
• Easy to learn compared to Terraform
• Built in state management so, the change management is easy

10. CF
• Creating an environment is time consuming
• High spending
• Performance Testing
