AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 223

A company wants to use a template to reliably provision, manage, and update its infrastructure in the AWS Cloud.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Lambda
• B. AWS CloudFormation
• C. AWS Fargate
• D. AWS CodeDeploy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS CloudFormation is designed specifically for provisioning and managing infrastructure as code using templates, making it the correct choice. AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service, AWS Fargate is for container management, and AWS CodeDeploy is for deploying applications, none of which focus on infrastructure provisioning and management in the same way as CloudFormation.
