It is very easy to create template file and resources with yaml Or json unlike terraform which is very complex to use. Lot of examples available for reference which helps us to create our template file Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is only for aws cloud which is one of the disadvantage and update for a failed stack becomes tricky in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Compatibilities with all flavours like IAAS, PAAS, etc

- Resources' seggregation and stacks creation process

- Audit, monitoring and cost efficienct options

The ease to use the product and the language used. I have implemented major deployment within seconds using the cloud formation templates in minutes. And integration are quite easy to manager once you have an overall understanding and know which all permissions you require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You should have a proper understanding of the deployments before you run it otherwise everything you create , is not easily manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing CloudFormation is it offers centralised management and tracking of the AWS resources. As it is an IaC tool, this eliminates manual setup and reduces the risk of errors. CloudFormation ensures that your infrastructure is deployed consistently and follows the desired configuration defined in the template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS CloudFormation has a learning curve, especially for users new to infrastructure-as-code (IaC) concepts or AWS services. While CloudFormation provides extensive coverage for AWS resources and services, it may not support all third-party services or resources that one might want to provision or manage in their infrastructure.

What I appreciate most about AWS CloudFormation is Amazon's attention to detail. We have the peace of mind that from a security standpoint we are covered and uptime is much better than anyone else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really can not think of almost anything I don't like about AWS CloudFormation. Sometimes the pricing can be a bit prohibitive to expand it within our org, but that's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What we like the most is the way to simplify the administration of the infrastructure of the services developed in Claro, making the most of resources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

so far the only thing that is not to our liking is the fact of not having a greater induction or training in this tool, since it has only been provided in a limited way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

comes with both languages YAML and JSOM both.. maintain state, easy to build the code with pre define templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

specific to AWS env only. same code can not be use in other CSP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that in cloudformation when I run the cloudformation template then resources are created easily and quickly. Many resources are created in sometime from AWS cloudformation template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudFormation templates can become quite complex, especially for larger infrastructures, leading to intricate YAML or JSON syntax that can be difficult to read and maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Great to stay in the AWS ecosystem. Out of the box support for all AWS resources.

- In-built state management and drift detection so what's in code vs what's in cloud is easily identified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Uses YAML Syntax. Gets complicated when you start using it for all your resources. Managing Geeta difficult. Resting YAML code is tiring.

- Option to not rollback completely on failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
