Cloud Formation

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A declarative infrastructure provisioning approach associated with defining cloud resources in templates so environments can be created, updated, and versioned as code. The term is often used generically for template-driven cloud provisioning, even when referring specifically to AWS CloudFormation in practice.

    In plain English: Template-based cloud infrastructure provisioning managed as code.

    Example: "They moved the stack into cloud formation templates so VPCs, queues, and IAM roles could be reviewed and recreated consistently."
