Subject: Announcing AWS CloudFormation
Dear Amazon Web Services Customer,
We're excited to introduce AWS CloudFormation, a new service that
gives developers and businesses an easy way to create a collection of
AWS resources and provision them in an orderly and predictable
fashion. Customers can use AWS CloudFormation sample templates or
create their own templates to describe the AWS resources, and any
associated dependencies or runtime parameters, required to run their
application. CloudFormation takes care of provisioning your resources
for you. AWS CloudFormation can be accessed via the AWS Management
Console, CloudFormation command line tools or APIs. The service is
available at no additional charge and customers pay only for the AWS
resources required to run the application. To get started using AWS
CloudFormation, visit http://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/ .
AWS CloudFormation templates can be used to repeatedly create
identical copies of the same AWS infrastructure stack, removing the
need for developers to manually recreate an applications stack for
each deployment. With AWS CloudFormation, users describe "what"
resources are needed and AWS CloudFormation takes care of "how" and in
what order those resources are provisioned. For example, AWS
CloudFormation templates concisely capture resource relationships,
such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances that must
be associated with an Elastic Load Balancer, or an Amazon Elastic
Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume that must be in the same Amazon EC2
Availability Zone.
AWS CloudFormation can be used across multiple AWS Availability Zones
to configure a wide range of AWS resources including Amazon EC2
instances, Elastic Load Balancers, AWS Elastic Beanstalk environments,
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) instances and Amazon
Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topics.
To learn more about AWS CloudFormation, visit the AWS CloudFormation
detail page http://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/ or the Getting
Started Guide http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/GettingStartedGuide/

Sincerely,
The Amazon Web Services Team

providing a cross platform interface means that it is at the most
another API to consider.
