QuestionQ2

SDLC Automation

A company uses a series of separate Amazon CloudFormation templates to deploy its multi-Region applications. The templates must be deployed in a particular order. The company is making more template changes than it previously anticipated and wants to deploy new templates more efficiently. In addition, the data engineering team must receive notification of every template change.

What should the company do to meet these goals?

Explanation

CloudFormation nested stacks place related templates under a parent stack, so CloudFormation manages dependent stack updates as part of the parent deployment. CloudFormation StackSets provide centralized deployment of stacks across AWS Regions. Amazon SNS can receive CloudFormation stack-event notifications for the data engineering team. Drift detection identifies differences between deployed resources and their expected configuration; it is not a template-change notification mechanism.
