Abstract

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has revolutionized cloud resource management by enabling automation, consistency, and scalability. AWS CloudFormation is a powerful IaC tool that automates the provisioning of cloud infrastructure using templates. This paper explores the architecture, implementation strategies, best practices, and challenges associated with AWS CloudFormation. It includes real-world case studies, pseudocode examples, and visual representations such as flowcharts and graphs to illustrate the benefits of CloudFormation over manual infrastructure management. The paper also discusses cost savings, security compliance, and future trends in IaC adoption.

Keywords: Infrastructure as Code, AWS CloudFormation, Automation, DevOps, Cloud Computing, Cost Optimization, Security Compliance
