AWS CloudFormation is a infrastructure-as-code solution that allows you to bootstrap infrastructure and services within the AWS space. It contains a very comprehensive set of features to build out infrastructure with the necessary security controls and service integrations that you would need.AWS CloudFormation has a steep learning curve for a service that only supports AWS.

- Templates are written in a YAML subset, which is arguably preferable to JSON - It provides many options to properly manage the stacks lifecycle - When coupling with Cloud Development Kit, it makes up for a powerful IaC solution for AWS - As with any other AWS service, you can manage CloudFormation in the best way that fancy your team needs.- It's hard to understand that some resources that are possible to tag, don't support tagging in the templates - Templates can get complex over time.

The way AWS Cloudformation allows to provision and manage various resources within AWS is too good. Basic templates are readily available to get you started with the resource of your choice.There is nothing to dislike about this service. At times, depending on your needs of infrastructure, there is a chance you get lost in the ocean of services and templates that are available.
