Explanation
AWS CloudFormation is the correct answer because it serves a similar purpose to VM templates in on-premise environments. Here's why:
-
AWS CloudFormation allows you to create templates (in JSON or YAML format) that define your AWS infrastructure, including EC2 instances, networking, storage, and other resources
-
These templates can be version-controlled and reused to consistently deploy identical environments
-
Similar to VM templates that capture the configuration of virtual machines, CloudFormation templates capture the entire infrastructure configuration
-
When you deploy a CloudFormation template, it automatically provisions all the specified resources in the correct order with the defined configurations
Why other options are incorrect:
-
AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Focuses on application deployment and management, not infrastructure templating
-
AWS OpsWorks: Configuration management service for Chef and Puppet
-
AWS Systems Manager: Operations management and automation tool
-
AWS CodeDeploy: Automated application deployment service
-
AWS CodePipeline: Continuous delivery service for release pipelines
CloudFormation provides the infrastructure-as-code capability that most closely matches the templating functionality of on-premise VM templates.
