"A Powerful Tool for Automated and Scalable Infrastructure Management"
What do you like best about AWS CloudFormation?

What I like most about AWS CloudFormation is the automation and standardization in infrastructure management. It allows for the consistent creation and management of resources, reducing manual errors and facilitating scalability. The ability to use infrastructure as code to define and version environments, along with integration with other AWS services, makes the tool very efficient and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS CloudFormation?

What I don't like about AWS CloudFormation is the initial learning curve, which can be difficult for beginners, and the complexity in the syntax of the templates. Additionally, the delay in stack updates in large environments and the limitations in advanced functionalities can be frustrating, requiring the use of other tools for more complex customizations.
