What differentiates AWS Cloud​Formation from other similar products?

We have used CloudFormation to model our entire stack of applications that are using cloud resources. These applications are like Java microservices deployed on ECS, EC2, AWS Lambda, AWS SNS, etc. Cloudformation helps in creating & managing this list of resources systematically by creating a template in JSON or Yaml file. We can use this file to replicate & create the resources for all our development environments using dynamic parameters & creating cloudformation stacks.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Cloudformation helps in creating & managing this list of resources systematically by creating a template in JSON or Yaml file.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Cloudformation does not support some AWS resources

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

With AWS CloudFormation, we are creating a single centralized stack of resources that are used to maintain & manage the application for different environments. The benefit of Cloudformation is that it has reduced our development time by half due to the automation of deployment & creation of cloud resources.
