Description: The ‘Template Condition’ in AWS CloudFormation is a statement that defines when certain resources are created or configured within an infrastructure-as-code template. This feature allows developers and solution architects to specify conditions under which resources should be created, modified, or deleted. Conditions can be based on input parameters, providing flexibility and customization in resource deployment. For example, a condition can be used to create a resource only if a specific parameter has a certain value. This is particularly useful in environments where different configurations are required based on the context (development, testing, production) or in situations where certain resources are optional. Conditions are defined in the ‘Conditions’ section of the template and can be referenced in other sections, such as ‘Resources’ or ‘Outputs’. This ability to conditionally create resources optimizes cloud resource usage and helps avoid unnecessary costs, maintaining a cleaner, more organized infrastructure.
