Description: A Stack in AWS CloudFormation is a collection of Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources that are managed as a single unit, defined by a template. This template is a file in JSON or YAML format that describes the resources to be created and their configurations. The Stack allows developers and system administrators to deploy and manage infrastructure efficiently and repeatably, facilitating the automation of resource creation in the cloud. By using a Stack, not only can individual resources such as compute instances, databases, or storage containers be defined, but also their interrelations and dependencies. This ensures that all necessary components are deployed in the correct order and with the appropriate configuration. Additionally, Stacks allow for controlled updates and deletions of resources, contributing to more effective infrastructure management. In summary, a Stack is a fundamental tool for implementing cloud architectures, promoting consistency and efficiency in managing cloud resources.
