"AWS CloudFormation enables you to model and provision your cloud application infrastructure as code-base templates. Whether you prefer writing templates directly in JSON or YAML, or using programming languages like Python, Java, and TypeScript with the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), CloudFormation and CDK provide the flexibility you need. For organizations adopting multi-account strategies, CloudFormation StackSets offers a powerful capability to deploy resources across multiple regions and accounts in parallel."
"In 2025, we delivered a comprehensive set of major enhancements focused on three core areas: reducing dev-test cycle through early validation, improving deployment safety with improved configuration drift management, and integrating IaC context to AI-powered development tools. These launches address common pain points in infrastructure development workflows, from catching deployment errors before resource provisioning to managing configuration drift systematically. The features span the entire development lifecycle, from template authoring in your IDE to multi-account deployments at scale."
In 2025, CloudFormation introduced major enhancements focused on early validation, configuration drift management, and integration of infrastructure-as-code context with AI development tools. Templates are validated during change set creation to catch invalid property syntax, resource name conflicts, and S3 bucket emptiness constraints before provisioning. Change sets report 'FAILED' with detailed issue information and property paths to speed fixes. The updates improve developer feedback loops, reduce dev-test cycles, and increase deployment safety. Capabilities cover authoring in IDEs through multi-account, multi-region deployments using StackSets, enabling scalable, safer infrastructure provisioning across accounts and regions.
