AWS CloudFormation gives you an easy way to define your infrastructure as code. But are you using it to its full potential? In this workshop, we take real-world architecture from a sandbox template to production-ready reusable code. We start by reviewing an initial template, which you update throughout the session to incorporate AWS CloudFormation features, like nested stacks and intrinsic functions. By the end of this workshop, expect to have a set of AWS CloudFormation templates that demonstrate the same best practices used in AWS Quick Starts.
