Pros / Cons
  • AWS CloudFormation provides an easy way to deploy aws artifacts in a declarative way, you can learn the syntax of each resource from aws documentation easily, you can use aws existing CI/CD pipelines to do the deployment and for testing too.
  • Although i appreciate the integration with other AWS softwares, it still limits me from integrating it with other cloud platforms, also the yaml/json files sometimes are a pain to work with so you need some patience while dealing with it
