AWS CloudFormation Likes & Dislikes
The integration is excellent for AWS environment with strong automation possibilities. It also brings strong governance and helps meet compliance. Useful for repeatable, auditable infrastructure organisation.
security defined in code and version control
I love being able to create and update infrastructure in a predictable way. This significantly reduces manual setup and configuration mistakes. Managing complex AWS environments becomes much more organized. It works seamlessly with pretty much every AWS service.
YAML / JSON templates can sometimes be verbose and complex, and large environments can sometimes result in huge, hard to read templates. It has very steep learning curve and less flexible
cross template variables
Cost may be an issue for smaller companies but it is totally worth it.

AWS CloudFormation Streamlines Resource Management With Predictable Template-Based Setups
It was nice using AWS CloudFormation. It lets me define and manage AWS resources using templates instead of clicking around in the console. Basically, I can spin up entire environments of servers, databases, networking, and permissions using a single template file. Once you’re comfortable with the syntax, it saves a lot of time and reduces human error. - ENGINEER50M-1B USDTelecommunicationReview Source
