What is the role of the stack object in CloudFormation after resource creation?
What is the role of the stack object in CloudFormation after resource creation?
- It is deleted automatically after the resources are created.
- It prevents users from modifying any existing resources.
- It acts as a reference for future actions on the created resources. (correct)
- It facilitates the creation of additional stacks without any modifications.
Which method allows you to utilize AWS Lambda functions to achieve features not directly supported by CloudFormation?
Which method allows you to utilize AWS Lambda functions to achieve features not directly supported by CloudFormation?
- Using the AWS Lambda function during stack creation. (correct)
- Deleting the stack to refresh the available features.
- Linking CloudFormation directly to the S3 bucket.
- Uploading the template without any modifications.
What happens to the resources created by a stack after the stack is deleted?
What happens to the resources created by a stack after the stack is deleted?
- The resources become unavailable for any future operations.
- You can choose to retain certain resources upon deletion. (correct)
- All resources are permanently lost without option for retention.
- Resources are moved to another stack for management.

Study Notes
CloudFormation Overview
- CloudFormation provides broad support for AWS services.
- If a desired feature isn't directly available, Lambda functions interacting with the AWS SDK can be invoked during stack creation for full service API coverage.
- Upload templates directly to CloudFormation or store them in Amazon S3, pointing CloudFormation to the location.
- Invoke "create stack" to initiate resource creation within the specified template.
- One stack can create and manage resources across multiple AWS services in a single AWS Region.
- Monitor stack creation progress.
- Successful completion results in new AWS resources in the account, and a stack object (handle) remains for future actions.
- The stack object enables updating or deleting stacks, including selective deletion of items during stack deletion.
