This document discusses CloudFormation and Elastic Beanstalk. CloudFormation allows provisioning and managing AWS resources through templates, while Elastic Beanstalk provides a web service for deploying and scaling web applications using predefined templates. The document compares the two services and provides examples of use cases where each would be more suitable. It also discusses how tools like Mobingi can provide application lifecycle management across multiple cloud platforms.

Use cases

29. MasterCloud
Use case 1 : A LAMP Application
-Lightening fast
-General configuration
-In frequent update

30. MasterCloud
Use case 2: A multi-AZ, Load-balanced stack with extra security layer
You require:
- VPC, customized gateway ACL,
- public subnet for EC2, private subnet for Multi-AZ RDS
- Security group (port 443,80,22,ping)
- 3 AZ for web EC2 high availability
- With customized SSL certificate
- …
