AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 396
A developer needs to use a standardized template to create copies of a company's AWS architecture for development, test, and production environments.
Which AWS service should the developer use to meet this requirement?
Answer options
- A. AWS Cloud Map
- B. AWS CloudFormation
- C. Amazon Cloud Front
- D. AWS CloudTrail
Correct answer: B
Explanation
AWS CloudFormation allows developers to model and provision AWS infrastructure deployments repeatedly and reliably using standardized templates. AWS Cloud Map is designed for service discovery, Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network, and AWS CloudTrail tracks user activity and API usage, making none of them suitable for infrastructure provisioning.
