There is large aws support to solve issue related to cloudformation template. > > **Cons**: Template creation can be excausting due to interconnecting components when multiple resources are used and they are interlinked to transfer data within the resource. Managing and viewing budget and cost of resources utilized would not be available at ease and would need to login to console to view billing details. Creating resources can take time as compared to creating resources in UI as it becomes more interactive experience for developer to exactly view what cloud resources are created and there interlinked components. > > I had an amazing experience using cloudformation as it helps in creating cloud infra at ease as we can store all the our required infrastructure in code format. it has helped in critical times where we prod had issues due to manual creation and network components were missing which we found out as we used cloud formation. it keeps creating infrastructure consistently without missing components and tracking of state is ease. it is very helpful as it has helped me create multiple resources including vpc, ec2,s3, rds using templates, link those resources together using correct security group and role and permission all in code format which we can share for review to our leads and managers. ----- ### "Automating resources" — 5.0/5 > **Abhishek** | *3 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1.

We can collaboratively work on all the deployed VMs smoothly instead of going one by one in all the machine. > > **Cons**: 1. Difficulty in handling of errors after deploying. 2. Huge learning curve in starting of all the services in AWS , we can't rely on documentation only. 3. More large templates , more difficult to handle. > > It removes the prior experience of being a developer by giving automated solutions of writing code , serverless deployments . Although it requires time but still be a very hassle free solution for quide development of code , deploy and test. ----- ### "My Experience with AWS CloudFormation" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can define my infrastructure in code so that making it easier to manage and reproduce.
