AWS Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an approach to infrastructure automation that allows you to manage and provision your infrastructure using code. Instead of manually configuring resources, you define your infrastructure in a declarative language and use tools to automatically create and manage the resources.

AWS provides a service called AWS CloudFormation that enables you to define your infrastructure as code using a JSON or YAML template. With CloudFormation, you can specify the desired state of your infrastructure and AWS takes care of provisioning and managing the resources.

The benefits of using Infrastructure as Code with AWS CloudFormation include:

• Reproducibility: You can ensure that your infrastructure is consistent across different environments by using the same CloudFormation template.
• Version Control: You can store and track changes to your infrastructure by storing the CloudFormation template in a version control system like Git.
• Automation: You can automate the provisioning and management of your infrastructure by using CloudFormation templates as part of your deployment process.

Here's an example of a CloudFormation template that provisions an Amazon EC2 instance:

1Resources:
2  MyEC2Instance:
3    Type: AWS::EC2::Instance
4    Properties:
5      ImageId: ami-0c94855ba95c71c99
6      InstanceType: t2.micro
7      KeyName: my-key-pair

xxxxxxxxxx

```java

xxxxxxxxxx
