AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 296

A development team wants to deploy multiple test environments for an application in a fast, repeatable manner.

Which AWS service should the team use?

Answer options

• A. Amazon EC2
• B. AWS CloudFormation
• C. Amazon QuickSight
• D. Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS CloudFormation allows you to define your entire infrastructure as code using templates, enabling fast, consistent, and repeatable deployments of multiple environments. Amazon EC2 and Amazon ECS provide computing power and container orchestration but do not inherently manage the automated provisioning of entire multi-service environments. Amazon QuickSight is a business intelligence service and is completely unrelated to infrastructure deployment.
