About AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation is a infrastructure provisioning and management tool that provides you the ability to create resource templates that specifies a set of AWS resources to provision. The templates allow you to version control your infrastructure, and also easily replicate your infrastructure stack quickly and with repeatability. Define an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) subnet or provisioning services like AWS OpsWorks or Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) with ease. Run anything from a single Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance to a complex multi-region application. Automate, test, and deploy infrastructure templates with continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) automation. AWS CloudFormation lets you model, provision, and manage AWS and third-party resources by treating infrastructure as code. Speed up cloud provisioning with infrastructure as code.

AWS Fargate
AWS Fargate
AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Fargate makes it easy for you to focus on building your applications. Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design. Fargate allocates the right amount of compute, eliminating the need to choose instances and scale cluster capacity. You only pay for the resources required to run your containers, so there is no over-provisioning and paying for additional servers. Fargate runs each task or pod in its own kernel providing the tasks and pods their own isolated compute environment. This enables your application to have workload isolation and improved security by design.

There is no additional charge for Elastic Beanstalk - you pay only for the AWS resources needed to store and run your applications. Elastic Beanstalk is the fastest and simplest way to deploy your application on AWS. You simply use the AWS Management Console, a Git repository, or an integrated development environment (IDE) such as Eclipse or Visual Studio to upload your application.

    Cons: There is much room for making the documentation better.

    Overall: AWS CloudFormation lets users to use a text file to model and put out, in an automated environment and secure runtime environment.
