Amazon Web Services Introduces CloudFormation

Amazon Web Services, an Amazon.com-based company, recently introduced its latest product that will give developers and businesses an easier way to create a collection of AWS resources and provision them in an "orderly and predictable fashion."

"The idea for AWS CloudFormation came to us during we were building our own applications on top of AWS services," said Adam Selipsky, vice president of Amazon Web Services, in a statement. "To put it more exactly than repeatedly building the same infrastructure and manually managing the dependencies between resources each time, our developer teams started creating templates to seamlessly handle the provisioning. We found this to be so useful that we decided to offer it up to our clients. AWS CloudFormation allows developers and businesses to focus on their applications during leaving the provisioning details to AWS."
