AWS CloudFormation Templates

Overview

AWS CloudFormation simplifies provisioning and management on AWS. You can create templates for the service or application architectures you want and have AWS CloudFormation use those templates for quick and reliable provisioning of the services or applications (called “stacks”). You can also easily update or replicate the stacks as needed.

This collection of sample templates will help you get started with AWS CloudFormation and quickly build your own templates.
