AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 472

A cloud practitioner wants a repeatable way to deploy identical AWS resources by using infrastructure templates.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS CloudFormation
• B. AWS Directory Service
• C. Amazon Lightsail
• D. AWS CodeDeploy

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS CloudFormation allows you to model, provision, and manage AWS and third-party resources by treating infrastructure as code through templates. AWS Directory Service is used for managed Active Directory, Amazon Lightsail is a simplified virtual private server solution, and AWS CodeDeploy is designed for application deployment rather than infrastructure provisioning.
