Overview

ZStack Cloud CloudFormation is a service that helps you simplify the cloud computing resource management and automate the deployment and O&M. With a resource stack template, you can define what cloud resources you need, the dependency between the resources, and the resource configuration. With the CloudFormation engine, CloudFormation can provide automatic batch deployment and resource configuration, as well as easy lifecycle management of cloud resources. You can also use API and SDK to integrate the automatic O&M capabilities.

As shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. CloudFormation


The advantages of CloudFormation are as follows:
  1. You only need to create a stack template or modify an existing one to define what cloud resources you need, the dependency between the resources, and the resource configuration. With the CloudFormation engine, CloudFormation will automatically complete the creation and configuration of all resources.
  2. The Cloud provides sample templates and a designer to create stack templates quickly.
  3. You can dynamically update a stack template based on your business needs, and then you can update the related resource stack to flexibly meet the needs of business development.
  4. If you no longer need a resource stack, you can simply one-click delete it, which also deletes all of the resources in the stack.
  5. You can reuse an existing stack template to quickly duplicate all stack resources without repeated configuration.
  6. You can flexibly combine cloud services based on different scenarios to meet the needs of automatic maintenance.
