I'm almost done with my AWS Cloud Resume Challenge! Part of it is making a blog post about the process, but I wanted to make a separate post about Infrastructure as Code; this is new to me and I would like to understand it better.

Making a CloudFormation stack template is also part of the challenge, but I would have done this even if it wasn't. I think it's cool to be able to start fresh, and then automate infrastructure setup.

Choosing My Infra Automation Tool

At first I wanted to use Infrastructure Composer, but that was overwhelming; too many different buttons to click.

Then, I thought I would use IaC Generator. That was overwhelming and confusing because there are too many services, and I didn't know which ones to include.
