"If you've developed AWS CloudFormation templates, you know the drill; write YAML(YAML Ain't Markup Language) in your IDE(Integrated Development Environment), switch to the AWS Management Console to validate, jump to documentation to verify property names."
"Then run CFN Lint(Cloudformation Linter) in your terminal, deploy and wait, then troubleshoot failures back in the console."
Developing AWS CloudFormation templates involves writing YAML in an IDE and validating templates through the AWS Management Console. Property names frequently require cross-checking against official documentation to ensure correct configuration. Developers commonly run CFN Lint (CloudFormation Linter) in the terminal to catch syntactic and semantic issues before deployment. After deployment, teams wait for resources to provision and then troubleshoot any failures using the console's logs and events. The workflow requires switching contexts between IDE, console, documentation, and terminal, combining manual verification with automated linting. These steps form a repetitive cycle of edit, validate, lint, deploy, and debug across multiple tools.
