AWS CloudFormation models and provisions cloud infrastructure as code, letting you manage entire lifecycle operations through declarative templates. Stack Refactoring console experience, announced today, extends the AWS CLI experience launched earlier. Now, you move resources between stacks, rename logical IDs, and decompose monolithic templates into focused components without touching the underlying infrastructure using the CloudFormation […]

Introduction AWS CloudFormation StackSets enable you to deploy CloudFormation stacks across multiple AWS accounts and regions with a single operation, providing centralized management of infrastructure at scale through AWS Organizations integration. In enterprise environments, multiple StackSet often need to deploy in a specific order. For example, networking infrastructure must be ready before applications can deploy […]

If you’ve developed AWS CloudFormation templates, you know the drill; write YAML (YAML Ain’t Markup Language) in your IDE (Integrated Development Environment), switch to the AWS Management Console to validate, jump to documentation to verify property names. Then run CFN Lint (CloudFormation Linter) in your terminal, deploy and wait, then troubleshoot failures back in the […]

Introduction: Repository-Level Code Migration Code migration is a repository-level transformation process that modernizes entire software projects to run on new platforms, frameworks, or runtime environments while preserving their original functionality and structure. Rather than focusing on isolated files or APIs, it operates across the full repository, spanning source code, dependencies, build systems, and configuration files […]

Introduction Is configuration drift preventing you from accessing the speed, safety, and governance benefits of AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure management? Configuration drift occurs when cloud resources are modified outside of CloudFormation, leading to a mismatch in the actual state and template definition of resources. Drift tends to accumulate from infrastructure changes that engineers make via […]

AWS CloudFormation makes it easy to model and provision your cloud application infrastructure as code. CloudFormation templates can be written directly in JSON or YAML, or they can be generated by tools like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). Resources are created and managed by CloudFormation as units called Stacks. Additionally, change set enable you […]

Introduction Organizations operating at scale on AWS often need to manage resources across multiple accounts and regions. Whether it’s deploying security controls, compliance configurations, or shared services, maintaining consistency can be challenging. AWS CloudFormation StackSets (StackSets) has been helping organizations deploy resources across multiple accounts and regions since its launch. While the service is powerful […]

Introduction As organizations adopt multi-account strategies for improved security features and governance, AWS CloudFormation StackSets enables organizations to deploy infrastructure across multiple accounts and regions. However, monitoring and tracking these distributed deployments across multiple accounts presents operational challenges. When a critical security baseline deployed across 50 accounts suddenly starts failing, teams face the daunting task of logging […]

This post is cowritten by Danilo Tommasina and Lalit Kumar B from Thomson Reuters. Large organizations often struggle with infrastructure management challenges including compliance issues, development bottlenecks and errors from inconsistent AWS resource creation across teams. Without standardized naming, tagging and policy enforcement, teams face repeated boilerplate code and difficulty accessing centrally-managed resources. In this […]
