AWS CloudFormation Pros and Cons

O que eu mais gosto no AWS CloudFormation é a automação e padronização no gerenciamento de infraestrutura. Ele permite criar e gerenciar recursos de forma consistente, reduzindo erros manuais e facilitando a escalabilidade. A possibilidade de usar infraestrutura como código para definir e versionar ambientes, além da integração com outros serviços da AWS, torna a ferramenta muito eficiente e confiável.

O que eu não gosto no AWS CloudFormation é a curva de aprendizado inicial, que pode ser difícil para iniciantes, e a complexidade na sintaxe dos templates. Além disso, a demora nas atualizações de stacks em ambientes grandes e as limitações em funcionalidades avançadas podem ser frustrantes, exigindo o uso de outras ferramentas para personalizações mais complexas.

Limited to one particular cloud provider . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS CloudFormation is working very good with Python using the AWS SDK (Boto3). With CloudFormation we can do things like setting up and managing infrastructure automatically. With Boto3, developers have lots of tools to work with CloudFormation stacks – they can create, update, and delete them easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS CloudFormation to set up and manage infrastructure automatically is really useful, but it can be very difficult for beginners to figure it out. The documentation is too long and there are lots of different things to understand and learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
