Deploy Environments with AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation enables you to create and provision AWS infrastructure deployments predictably and repeatedly. It helps you leverage AWS products to build highly reliable, highly scalable, cost-effective applications in the cloud without worrying about creating and configuring the underlying AWS infrastructure. AWS CloudFormation enables you to use a template file to create and delete a collection of resources together as a single unit (a stack). For more information, see AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

AWS Control Tower uses AWS CloudFormation stacksets to apply controls on accounts. For more information about how AWS CloudFormation and AWS Control Tower work together, see Creating AWS Control Tower resources with AWS CloudFormation.
