AWS Certified SysOps Administrator SOA-C01 – Question072

An organization is planning to use AWS for their production roll out. The organization wants to implement automation for deployment such that it will automatically create a LAMP stack, download the latest PHP installable from S3 and setup the ELB.
Which of the below mentioned AWS services meets the requirement for making an orderly deployment of the software?

A.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
B. AWS Cloudfront
C. AWS Cloudformation
D. AWS DevOps

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation: AWS Cloudformation is an application management tool which provides application modelling, deployment, configuration, management and related activities. Cloudformation provides an easy way to create and delete the collection of related AWS resources and provision them in an orderly way. AWS CloudFormation automates and simplifies the task of repeatedly and predictably creating groups of related resources that power the user’s applications. AWS Cloudfront is a CDN; Elastic Beanstalk does quite a few of the required tasks. However, it is a PAAS which uses a ready AMI. AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides an environment to easily develop and run applications in the cloud.
