SLIDE 4 AUTOMATE AND DEPLOY (…) provisions your resources in a safe, repeatable manner, allowing you to build and rebuild your infrastructure and applications, without having to perform manual actions or write custom scripts. Why is Deployment Automation Important? source: aws.amazon.com REASONS FOR AUTOMATING INFRASTRUCTURE

Repeatable re-deployable infrastructure
Documented maintainable infrastructure
Scalable solutions
Huge Architectures
Complex systems

AWS AWS CloudFormation provides a common language for you to describe and provision all the infrastructure resources in your cloud environment. CloudFormation allows you to use a simple text file to model and provision, in an automated and secure manner, all the resources needed for your applications across all regions and accounts. source: aws.amazon.com

SLIDE 20 Serverless Framework

Open Source project from Se

ServerlessFramework

Basic Multi-Cloud support (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc)
Focus on the core serverless components (e.g. API GW, Lambda, etc)
Ability to include Cloud Formation to extend the functionality

SLIDE 21 Serverless Framework @bruno_amaro

SLIDE 22 CloudFormation vs SAM vs Terraform vs ServerlessFramework Pr Pro:

AWS Native
Fully supported by

AWS

Free of charge
JSON or YAML

Co Con:

Hard to troubleshoot

¯\_( _(ツ)_ )_/¯

Not so easy to write

templates

Documentation is not

at a good level CloudFormation Ser erver erles ess Appl pplica cation Mod

Terraform Pr Pro:

Extension of AWS

CloudFormation

Ability to local debugging

and testing

Easier packaging
AWS SAM Repository

Co Con:

Only covers some AWS

Resources ¯\_( _(ツ)_ )_/¯

You still end up writting the

usual CF to workaround missing features Pr Pro

Open Source project from Hashicorp
Module Registry
Multiple providers can be combined
Multi-Cloud support (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc)

Co Con

Not AWS Native and Support is paid
Couple of workarounds here and there

¯\_( _(ツ)_ )_/¯

Multi-Cloud support
Resource Graphs
Separate planning and execution phase
Remote state files (chicken or the egg)

Serverless Framework Pr Pro

Open Source project from

ServerlessFramework

Easy to get up and running with

basic resources

Basic Multi-Cloud support (AWS,

Azure, GCP, etc) Co Con

Limited support (purely focused on

the traditional serverless resources) ¯\_( _(ツ)_ )_/¯

Two separate languages (ie. CF)
Agnostic infra tool ended up being a

JS project with 1000+ of frequently updating npm dependencies @bruno_amaro
