AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 558

AWS ________supports__________ environments as one of the AWS resource types.

Answer options

• A. Elastic Beanstalk; Elastic Beanstalk application
• B. CloudFormation; Elastic Beanstalk application
• C. Elastic Beanstalk ; CloudFormation application
• D. CloudFormation; CloudFormation application

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS CloudFormation allows you to define and manage AWS Elastic Beanstalk environments as a resource type within its templates using the AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Environment resource type. This enables infrastructure-as-code management for Elastic Beanstalk deployments. Other options are incorrect because Elastic Beanstalk does not host CloudFormation resources, but rather CloudFormation provisions Elastic Beanstalk components.
