There is large aws support to solve issue related to cloudformation template. > > **Cons**: Template creation can be excausting due to interconnecting components when multiple resources are used and they are interlinked to transfer data within the resource. Managing and viewing budget and cost of resources utilized would not be available at ease and would need to login to console to view billing details. Creating resources can take time as compared to creating resources in UI as it becomes more interactive experience for developer to exactly view what cloud resources are created and there interlinked components. > > I had an amazing experience using cloudformation as it helps in creating cloud infra at ease as we can store all the our required infrastructure in code format. it has helped in critical times where we prod had issues due to manual creation and network components were missing which we found out as we used cloud formation. it keeps creating infrastructure consistently without missing components and tracking of state is ease. it is very helpful as it has helped me create multiple resources including vpc, ec2,s3, rds using templates, link those resources together using correct security group and role and permission all in code format which we can share for review to our leads and managers. ----- ### "Important developer tool" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 March 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about AWS CloudFormation is the ability to manage infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code. By defining resources in YAML or JSON templates, we can deploy and replicate entire environments consistently without manual configuration. It integrates very well with other AWS services, allowing us to provision resources like compute, storage, networking, and databases in a single stack. > > **Cons**: The biggest downside is the learning curve, especially when starting with complex templates. Debugging errors in large templates can be difficult, and the error messages are sometimes not very clear. Managing very large stacks or multiple template files can also become challenging as infrastructure grows. > > Overall, AWS CloudFormation is a powerful and reliable tool for managing AWS infrastructure at scale. It works especially well for teams that want strong automation, version control for infrastructure, and consistent deployments across environments. ----- ### "Potential for greatness" — 2.0/5 > **Philipp** | *26 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloudformation natively supports everything in AWS so it is already solidly ahead of third party providers. It is an easy to understand tool. > > **Cons**: The documentation on AWS has always been subpar for cloudformation. For new products, they are more willing to release examples, but usually, one needs to visit a blog or similar. Cloudformation stacks are very vulnerable to drift. If this ever happens, this is irrecoverable. > > Cloudformation is great in principle, and with enough manipulation can do everything that is needed. AWS' documentation often falls behind the curve, and cloudformation stacks are very uncomfortable to work with. Ultimately, terraform is used instead where possible ----- ### "Essential for AWS Infrastructure Management with Seamless CI/CD pipeline" — 5.0/5 > **Jitae** | *8 September 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It does support json/yaml format both and cost nothing for CloudFormation. You just need to pay resources created/ran. Its the best tool to manage resources/infra in AWS. Also you can utilize CloudFormation as deployment by updating stack parameters, which provides auto roll-back when its update fails. > > **Cons**: only supports yaml/json and not easy to debug when you have errors in code and can't integrate other services outside of AWS. > > We utilize AWS Cloudformation everyday to deploy our webservices and also manage all infrastructures we deployed in AWS. We were able to manage CI/CD pipeline by using this CloudFormation with Codebuild/CodePipeline. Its integrated pretty well with all other AWS Services. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/205397/cloudformation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/205397/cloudformation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
