A. B. C. D.Answer - A.
The AWS documentation mentions the following.
AWS CloudFormation is a service that helps you model and set up your Amazon Web Services resources so that you can spend less time managing those resources and more time focusing on your applications that run in AWS.
You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want (like Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances)
AWS CloudFormation takes care of provisioning and configuring those resources for you.
You don't need to create and configure AWS resources individually and figure out what's dependent on what.
AWS CloudFormation handles all of that.
For more information on AWS Cloudformation, please refer to the below URL:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/Welcome.htmlThe service in AWS that can be used to manage infrastructure as code is AWS CloudFormation, which is a service that allows you to model and provision AWS resources in a declarative way. CloudFormation templates are written in YAML or JSON and can be versioned, reviewed, and edited in a source control system like Git. With CloudFormation, you can create and manage AWS resources like EC2 instances, databases, load balancers, and more, in a repeatable, automated, and consistent way.
AWS Config is a service that helps you assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources for compliance purposes. It allows you to set up rules that define the desired state of your resources and alerts you when there are configuration changes that don't comply with those rules. However, it is not specifically designed to manage infrastructure as code.
AWS Inspector is a service that helps you assess the security and compliance of your EC2 instances and applications by automatically identifying security vulnerabilities and deviations from best practices. It is a security assessment tool and does not manage infrastructure as code.
AWS Trusted Advisor is a service that provides recommendations to optimize your AWS infrastructure for cost optimization, security, performance, and fault tolerance. It helps you to follow best practices and improve your infrastructure, but it does not manage infrastructure as code.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. Using AWS CloudFormation.
