This allows you to manage your infrastructure as code and apply the same practices of application code development to infrastructure provisioning. AWS CloudFormation gives you an easy way to model a collection of related AWS and third-party resources, provision them quickly and consistently, and manage them throughout their lifecycles.

You can use a template to create, update, and delete an entire stack as a single unit instead of managing resources individually.

Depending on the complexity of your template and the number of resources involved, you might spend lots of time waiting for all the resources to roll back before you can update the template with the right configuration and retry the operation.

The creation of the stack is in progress for a few seconds, and then it fails because of an error.
